The tune was really catchy though, and I liked the sound effects.
Congrats on the entry!
A couple things I noticed:
- The eye beams don't seem super consistent, both in terms of how you have to line up with the wizards and when the animation plays.
- The game feels pretty easy overall; I found that a lot of the time I was able to just stand in the corner and wait for a couple wizards to line up before turning to face them. Since the score is passively increasing, you could argue that it isn't that necessary to use the eye beams at all.
- Taking damage on impact is good, but in combination with my first point, this can lead to scenarios where an undying wizard is banging up against the player. Maybe have a single hit do more damage but also bounce the wizard and the player apart?
Overall though it's a fun submission!
Good job on the game!
