Would be nice if you could sprite to the direction of movement. Also, dash action would be cool. Other than than, nice game

Solid and nice looking 2D shooter, but the connection to the theme is a bit vague.

I tried to go full screen, but it still would not fit on my screen. I played the best I could. A lot going on quickly, might slow it down at the start.

Very nice, especially for a first game. Missed having some indication of my hp and mana. Don't know if they weren't there or just moved off screen.

I would have played this a lot in the 90s!!!! Movementspeeds and nr of enemies nicely balanced. Fun to play for a while... szuper casual

Loved the Nuclear Throne vibes on this! Simple but addictive, I would have loved to see more variety in the enemy's IA, but for a Jam game it is extremely cool and polished. Very well done! :D

Great work for being you first game, you managed to get gameplay audio and visuals to fit together. Something I was missing was the feeling that I got more powerful as my power grew. As it was I tried to avoid picking up power at all times, not balancing it.

Very nice little game here! Everything is composed together in a great way – gameplay is smooth and fun! One thing I would add is a minimap as I missed one passage and then was running for 5 minutes trying to find last 4 portals.
And thank you for checking out our game! I believe you can beat it – just try a bit harder :D

Screen resolution made it hard to see everything happening, thus making me not focus on the bottom screen bars. Overall, I like how the theme was interpreted. Nice result for your first game!

First game?? Wow! Great job! Addictive gameplay and fun concept. I would have liked a little more visual feedback that my power was "growing" but other than that it is a solid and well polished game. Keep it up!

Cool. Some minor complaints.. the aim reticle is kind of hard to see against the background, and the attacks don't feel punchy. But, generally speaking, a solid demo game, especially for the time it took to make it.

Enjoyed this game! The hit boxes were a little funny sometimes, and it was hard to see the cursor on some terrains, but the mechanics were nice and well balanced. Killing a whole hoard of mini guys with the RMB spell was super satisfying. Very glad I played and especially impressive considering this is your first game. Well done mate!
