Thank you very much! The aesthetic and the movement of the player charecter, those are the things I'm most proud of on this one. Yes, the mana system is, upon reflection, not even required to complete the game - originally I'd planned on having areas that you had to destroy the barriers to (wooden boards, old vines, etc) to get to some pumpkins using your spells, but that didn't get implemented; as it is the boost mechanic was only implemented on the very last day...! If this were a month long game jam, I would of added so much more. Thanks for the feedback!
Btw - GREAT job on your entry. Followed you on here, I'm eager to see what happens in the future regarding it. :D
