This is the best entry I've seen so far. The game is fun (meteors are broken, but that's fine), I lost a few times before finding the correct way to play and it felt really good to win. I really enjoyed it. Well done!

Hmm The game is very short and easy. I just spammed the fire ball and mana potions. The gerneral concept works good, but the game needs balancing for sure.

Please use .zip instead or .rar
I can't even open the Linux build because .rar isn't supported by my archive manager

That was really easy, as said before. I think it needs a bit of work on ergonomics to be nicer to play. But with that and the balancing fixed it could be a more pleasant game I guess ^^

@lone-wolf Fixed.

@ausstein I agree that i made the game easier, took notes from previous jams that my games were a bit harder and decided i was gonna go easy on this one.

Thanks!
This was a fun game. It took a few deaths to figure out what the best strategy was. But once I did it was pretty easy like the others said. Other than that nice work :thumbsup:
