You. Motherfucker. The controls are great, the visual effects are fantastic, the level design is great, the enemies are perfectly balanced, the houses (I love the houses) are well done. That's it. You win. You're the best I've played thus far. Unity will want to advertise this LD entry. You get my stamp of aproval.

This is fantastic! Great art, sound, just wished the controls were more standard (space for jump etc...)

Nice game mechanic, but quite frustrating sometimes to get killed almost randomly

Those were some good graphics, music, particles and screenshakes!
Just excluding the fact that I died so many times for things I couldn't see like: that tree that kills you if you don't jump over or the villager that just explodes or the blocks that explode... Yes, I used the Truth vision.
But overall it was really good mates! Good job!

May or may not have blue-screened my computer, but otherwise I loved the visuals! :D
absolutely gorgeous! It plays and feels so COOL!
I feel awesome killing those ghosts! Particles, movement, player reinforcement (and of course music) are top notch!!!

Enjoyed the smooth controls and the space bar effect was a nice touch.

Excellent game! The boss fight was a bit difficult for me though

The shooting and movement in this game feel really good, as does the music and visuals. However, the non-standard controls are pretty difficult to use, and more than that, your charge-up bar for mana is too short for the regions that you're exploring. Given how the game works, it effectively serves as a timer for how long you get to play before you have to stop and sit still for a while--since ideally, the player wants to have it on all the time. But this seems contrary to the well-established tone of the rest of the game, where you're running around using your powers to blast everything. It also makes the last boss frustratingly difficult.

The game looks pretty cool. A bit tricky, but definitely a good challenge.

I love the spell effects so much. The graphics are amazing, this game has such a good feel. I was trying to speedrun it but I kept dying because I didn't use my power :c

Really great-looing game! I struggled a little bit with the controls; I think the game might play better with a controller. One thing you could do to make it feel a little better is let the player press the up arrow to jump.

But really great game either way. Wonderful concept.

Nice visuals and sounds, but very low theme implementation. Too standard, I think...
Not bad, anyway =)

Beautiful game, very cool particle effects! I didn't really like the controls, but the concept was nice, I had fun playing! :)

Beautiful, cool platforming mechanic!

The idea is really nice, but in the end my impression was that there was too much "fake" things and I'd die all the time not knowing why. Otherwise the game looks cool, with nice particle effects.

Nice one! This feels juicy. Love the music and the gameplay

Particles

Particles everywhere!!! But I have a single complaint: the boss battle is kinda... The boss being able to spawn over you kinda ruins it for me.

But it's only that. Otherwise, this game is great! It feels and plays awesome!
