Yeah I needed to work on the spawning, but ran out of time :( As I guess is expected with Ludum Dare!
I especially like the mage with the skull head :)
1) An enemy spawned on top of the level, I climped there and took a screenshot -> the timestep skipped a tick and I went trough the roof (http://i.imgur.com/O6Js20G.png)
2) I found the ultimate leveling glitch! (http://i.imgur.com/QWSxkLB.png)
The graphics were OK, didn't really care for the audio. The gameplay could've also been a bit more intriguing, but good job considering the time limit. Controls were a bit weird at first (why not use W to jump and move up since you were using A and D to move side to side anyways :D) and I would've liked to be able to aim my magics with the mouse.
Very good job!
The rest could use some more work. A moody music will help and some different terrain. A lot of the time you would have enemies on top of you which were hard to shoot. Maybe a flatter terrain so they can't fall on top of you and maybe some collission so they can't move through you?
Sometimes the aiming was buggy too. At some point I could only shoot to the right.
I like that the mages have different secondary spells, otherwise they would be very alike in playing, but I found the secondary spells not very useful. If you can make them more useful, you could have your favorite mage?
