Spellody by EvilScotsman
Spellody is a music based hack and slash game. Cast musical attacks by swishing your magical keytar at the neon enemies!!!


Playthrough of the game on YouTube:

How to play:
- Move with WASD and Mouse
- Left or Right click on enemies to cast spells on them or yourself
- Left clicks cast "Major" spells which are RED
Right clicks cast "Minor" spells which are BLUE
Create shapes using the Spell Icons, but don't use the same one twice
The icon you start your spell on determines the spell type you cast:
Green Triangle = Range attack
- Magenta Diamond = Melee Attack (teleports you to the enemy)
- Yellow Square = Speed increase spell
Cyan Circle = Healing spell
Start with simple line spells (Example: Green Triangle to Yellow Square is a "weak ranged" attack)
- Then move to angles (Example: Magenta Diamond to Yellow Square to Cyan Circle is a "medium melee attack)
Finally use all 4 shapes for the most powerful attacks! (Remember, don't use the same one twice)
Enemies are weak to the colours on their skins
- Example 1: GREEN & BLUE spider is weak to "Green Triangle / Ranged" attacks done with a "Major / Left Click" spell
- Example 2: MAGENTA & RED dog is weak to "Magenta Diamond / Melee" attacks done with a "Minor / Right Click" spell!

I can't seem to figure out how to rotate camera, was it intentional? At some point level design obstructed the enemies. Sorry, I'm a bit stupid and tired after jam, so can't figure that out.
Really like the hud and note input.
I love accorgions so much though.
The only criticism I can give is that the camera makes it hard to see the enemies sometimes and tends to clip through geometry. Other than that, really nice work!
I had fun! The background music adding a new track every now and then at the start kept up the hype, very good work!
Gameplay was a bit confusing but fun nontheless.
I loved the Audio and 3D models.

If you want to, I can integrate Accorgians and Techno-Spiders into the God simulator Genesis 1, so they can roam the fields of will smith :D
Congratulations for the game!
I recognize there is an audience out there that likes to experiment and memorize which spells does what, and what to cast, but that style of gameplay simply isn't for me.

Hope you got some valuable feedback on your game and looking forward to seeing you next LD jam if I dont catch you before then! :D
