I love the art and the movement is a lot of fun.

I love the visuals! And movement was fluid and fun. Playing on keyboard I'm not sure if I could always toggle between punching and using collectibles, maybe I was just doing it wrong ;)
I could definitely see this being developed further, and I hope you do!

@alexander-crane Thanks for your comment!

For reference, casting spells is left mouse click, and punching is right mouse click. The toggle controls switch between which spell you will cast, not between punch and spells.

Umm I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but even with tons of food and the correct spell toggled, left click isn't launching anything...

I'll try later with a controller to see if it works!

Not gonna lie, this game is really fun. I just think you could have been a little bit more original with the theme, but other than that it was fun

Fun prototype! I liked discovering what all the spells do. The controls are a bit resistant; my character felt like she was sliding around more than I wanted, and sometimes it was hard to veer away from enemies in time. Especially with total loss on contact, it felt like pretty punishing difficulty. My favorite spell is teleport because I thought it was a cotton candy attack and instead I teleported directly on to a bad guy! :laughing:
