I like the concept, and the graphics are neat. Music or ambient weather sounds would elevate the graphics a lot. Also, your hitboxes seem to be a bit off at some places.

Hi, thanks for the feedback !
I didn't have time for sound and music implementation, I ran into cooking problems and I had to rush technical stuff in order to publish the game on time.
As for the hitbox its one of the things I did quickly to focus on other parts of the "game"

Like every jam I participate in I am gonna say "I wish I used my time in a better way" ...

I took some time post jam to put a little FX on the broom

The game is nice but I couln't find the castle. I had a full power bar but then I couldn't figure what to do. Also, the game is pretty heavy.

Very nice looking game. I got lost off the "main path" of collectibles and couldn't find any for a good while. I eventually found the high concentration of them, which I assume is the end of the game, but I never reached a completion screen. Character and spikes look really good!

Congratulations on making a complete game!

The controls feel so smooth once you get the hang of it. I've always found it quite difficult to do flight mechanics using gravity, but you really did a good job. Even though I didn't find the castle and lost my way in the big blue sky, I had fun navigating the sorceress (and finding the heart of collectibles).

Also, I really like the visual effect for the potion pickup, it's really well done!

I couldn't find the castle, it's nice and cute otherwise :)

Nice game. But it hard to navigate without mini map.
:metal:**Mood: 5**

**Overall: 3**

Mechanics is very fun but gameplay is monotonous.

I had a bit of trouble finding my way and controlling the sorceress toward the castle but i did enjoy the game. It's nice to see how you could achieve credible cloud with only a few spheres, it's a nice idea. I also like how the sorceress moves on its broom. Good job :)
