I Cast FIREBALL!! by Grizwhirl

[raw]
made by Grizwhirl for Ludum Dare 58 (JAM)

At the dawn of time a rule was penned

        Feared by every friend

      For when they enter a room

         It tends to go boom

So long as they have a spell slot to spend

Blast into a retro-inspired explosive dungeoneering adventure.

Collect power-ups to enhance your explosive might and coin to replace those spell components,

1-4 Players couch "co-op"

  • Tested with 3 players, 4th should work, no special logic for the setup

  • co-op is in quotes because, when the fireballs get flying is it really cooperative?

Reminds me of bomberman but co-optional. Very short and sweet game loop with interesting items and hazards!

It was a good idea to do a bomberman but with fireball instead of bomb. I don't have friends to play to this currently but it seems to be a good game when you have some. It's sometimes hard to break some breakable walls since you don't have the space to shoot your fireball without taking damage. By the way, I like the fact you made some assets for changing the map between each game. Good job!

Very charming Bomberman-like game! Music gets a bit repetitive, but everything else is really neat. Great job!

Very fun! my only gripe would be that the background music is a little repetitive, But I enjoy the gameplay loop and art.

I like the Bomberman-like style. I had a hard time spotting the floor from the blocks. But hey, it’s still a fun game!

I love this game, It reminds me of retro dungeon crawlers, which really fits the dnd theme.

Shame 1 player doesn't do that well. Looks promising, maybe controls too stiff

I'm not sure what I'm exactly collecting here, but it's a fun take on Bomberman! I really like the art and sound effects (it's great that you have a few slightly different explosions).

Nice game overall. Really fun to play with the fireballs & the dnd humor is pretty funny. Though I don't really see how this entry fits the collector theme.
