Under Your Spell by limbo

[raw]
made by limbo for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Screenshot_258.png

Stupid wizard summoned you and thinks you will cooperate.

features list: * you can click things and shit happens * Sezam (the wizard) is as androgynously sexy as wizards should be

known issues: * The battle mechanic is boring as hell * The entire game is built around the aforementioned battle mechanic

Opted out: - Graphic: almost everything here is drawn by me {excluding default Renpy UI}, but not in the jam-time :) - Music and SFX: bought in bundles, not created by me

Engine: Ren'py.

The base code for the fight mechanic copied from here.

The game is quite humerous and therefor fun but I didn't understand the battle mechanic fully

I really liked the game, I personally didn't think the battle mechanic was as big of a problem as you suggested. It was funny, the art is amazing and I think it is a really good entry, well done!

The game is very fun. I liked the UI. It gets a little boring after sometime. But I really liked the battle mechanic.

Ah, cool to see a RenPy game! I always wondered how much it is suited for anything **but** a visual novel, and your battle mechanic is pushing that envelope a bit, so it's intriguing to see -- but admittedly, I have only played a handful of RenPy games, so maybe this is commonplace?

Anyway, this seems like a rather well polished entry, good job! I couldn't quite figure out how to win the battle, nor what spells like "Darkness" actually do, but I think this confusion can be in line with the ignorance of the character in the story.

Really nice art! Some nice dialog too but it's a combination of genres I don't generally gravitate towards :D

I actually liked the "check if it says darkness or dorkines" bit, and the stuck-up wizzard infuriating the demon(?) made for nice comedy. I find it infuriating that you can not win and thereby perfectly empathize with the character I am playing.

Funny game; I've certainly made worse jam games. I think you were a little too hard on yourself. Good job!
