The Witch & The Witcher by PixVox Games

[raw]
made by PixVox Games for LD35 (JAM)
A long time ago, two good magicians Tink and Merlin had lived in this world. They loved each other and were doing a lot of good things. But people didn't believe them. Everyone said that Tink and Merlin were trying to summon a Daemon in this world. They had burned them down and had imprisoned their souls in magical place...
But Tink found a way to escape from there and she wants find and save her sweetheart.
So, the story begins from there...

Controls: click on object to consume its soul, use E to spit soul. Q to interact with consumed object. WAD to control Tink. GL & HF!

Hey, I really like the art style of the game.

I tried to play it for a few minutes and couldn't figure out what to do in order to get past the guards.

A in-game tutorial would help out heaps, I did read the description but consuming, spitting souls and interacting with objects didn't help me out with the knight guards.

The drawings are beautiful and the idea is cool but I died a lot of time but I didn't know how (killed by the guards? burnt by the torches?...) a bit more work on it and i'm sure it will be a excellent game ! :)

The art style is awesome, i think i found some bugs, guards sometimes do not touch the floor. The intro is so awesome. <3 nice game :D

Moonwalking and floating guards were amusing, though probably not intentional. Dying for seemingly no reason was unpleasant and stopped me from getting very far.

Really nice looking game but I couldn't figure out how to get past the guards. I transformed into the box and still died. Has potential though :)

E and Q controls didn't work on my Linux computer

Amazing job! I got killed by guards tons of times even when I wasn't on them, but even with that, I loved the game.
Art and animations are amazing! Loved the ghost and the background fire!

Hi,

I liked the artstyle very much, and I think I got the idea of the game. I was able to sneak past the guards inside the chest, but after floating to the next level, I couldn't figure out what to do.
I think the idea to turn into game objects and use them to your advantage is great. Keep up the good work!

Lovely story and opening arts scenes. I really want to know what happens at the end. But I just couldn't beat the game. Bummer.

Very lovely artwork!
Unfortunately the collisions were a bit wonky, causing unnecessary frustration. But otherwise a great game. :)

The art is great, but the game is quite confusing. I managed to enter the box, but I couldn't figure out how to progress. I tried flying over the soldiers, but their hitbox is too big and I still die.
A simple message in game helping the player with the first guard would solve the problem

I managed to fly all the way up and over the dungeon, and there seems to be quite a lot of stuff. I'm curious, how do you get past the guard? I wanna play the rest...

I agree with the others that the game is a bit confusing, but it looks absolutely gorgeous!

Need a walkthrough. Perhaps a video?

As pretty much everyone else has said, your illustrations were excellent! I also had trouble getting my way past the guard in the upper level, perhaps it would have been good to have some smaller collision boxes for the guards... :D

Graphics were awesome, but kept being killed by no one.

Nice artwork! It's great! Though as others I'm quite confused about what I should do...I was able to set off the first torch, but whenever the guard comes close I get NullPointerException (GuardController.java:29)... Also I can't find a way to get past him... I'll try it again later!

Beautiful artwork. Making enemies take longer to attack you, and giving the player more of a chance to react would be great.

Lovely intro and art in general is very charming! I was just missing the audio a bit. I also must say that I was unable to finish the game though.. I wanted to see it through but it was slightly too buggy for me to continue. If you could fix those somehow I'm sure this game would improve greatly! :)

Lovely idea and visuals, but the game kept crashing for some reason I didn't get. It also doesn't communicate with the player about how to play, in-game tips were required.
