[raw]
made by blanky for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Enjoy and hope you have fun!

Clever concept but a few little bugs here and there- walking needs to be sped up a bit potentially and at times I couldn't cast for some reason? Also not sure how you "improve" didn't seem to make any difference no matter how many I killed.

Pretty good starting point for a great game. Right now there is no point in collecting the passive boost, you just get stronger but whats the point, maybe add a time limit after which a boss will appear so that the player would want to farm for buffs as fast as possible. And also when then enemies overlap u can simple kill them all by using both the spells together, idk if this is intended mechanics, but it seems like its messing up the game balance.

Overall its a fun game! Good Job!!! Keep it up!

Nice graphics! It was unclear what exactly the item drops do though. Eventually I learned the boots increase your movement speed, and the pots increase your regen. But the spell symbols I couldn't figure out. It's always a two-shot.

Hey. It looks good, but the elements are of a different style.

Interesting game. It's start really hard but when you pickup enough stuff it gets super easy.
