I really enjoyed the strategy aspect of this game but I feel like it can turn off players who are more used to casual games lol. the variation in weapon types is really nice, no weapon feels like it was added just for the sake of filling the gap, especially the explosions and freezing effect. really cool entry!\n\n![22.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/8a6\/13\/z\/61d5b.png)","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1034558,"author_name":"Elbbard","author_uid":"elbbard","epoch":1713194703,"text":"I enjoyed playing the game and got to a score of 570 on first try. I just struggled a bit with the cooldowns. I didn't know when I could throw the bomb.\nThe music is nice but it was also a good idea to add the mute button ;)\nI like the pixel art and how you made a progression with spells and more enemies\/allies.\nOverall the game is complete and fun to play. There were just some small moments where I had nothing to do at the beginning.

I got a high score of 598. I liked having to switch between the weapons and balance the cooldowns. I noticed the helper guys went out to collect bones so I tried to let the enemies die closer to the middle to make it easier for them. Also the techno music that plays when you use the laser is a nice touch.\n\n ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 at 9.11.20 AM.png](\/\/\/raw\/7d7\/c2\/z\/64576.png)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1067320,"author_name":"GoBigRedFan","author_uid":"gobigredfan","epoch":1713632525,"text":"This game has some _aggressive_ sound design and I am here for it.

It would be cool to see new types of spells past the 4th one as you level up more. It's pretty tough, and I think the default resolution on itch could be bigger, since you have a much smaller window size if you're not fullscreen.
