You are a wizard who kills people and snowmen for unknown reasons. It is intense sometimes.
If you're looking for a win condition, there is none. But perhaps you could get a sense of victory if you use the final spell. It summons an army of sorts to fight for you. I say again: Use the final spell to 'win'.
Nice controls, though collision on projectiles were a bit frustrating. I would like a bit more leeway for my projectiles colliding with walls. Fun game though.
Also, on start up the first time I encountered an error and had to abort.
FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0

davesoft: I haven't ever played or even looked at GTA2 before now. I kind of want to play it now.
chaosed0: Odd. I feel that the game ramps up perhaps too fast. Few minutes in and enemies are dealing 3-4 damage in one shot and I can only take 3 hits from them.
DavidVisscher: Thanks!
SuperPokeunicorn: Killing enemies sometimes drops spells. Sometimes these spells will be the locked ones (Freezing spell, cockroach spell, etc.)
Jupitron: Also thanks!
pjchardt, DNS: Sorry about the fireball/wall interactions. I thought it was more important to make the guns noisy. I guess that error is what happens when you try to divide by zero D: Can't do anything about it now, and it seems the error you were given wasn't massively specific on where the problem is.
Fun core gameplay, and the lighting looks really good. I would agree with a previous commenter that slightly faster unlocks would be cool. I dug it. Nice Job.
I really enjoyed this one once I started getting into it. I didn't get all the spells, but once I got into the flow of shooting guards, bombs and turrets, it's definitely something I'd love to get into more!
The only issue I had was being able to initially tell that the walls were walls, and the floor was floor. A little pixelated foreshortening will fix that right up! :)
I loved the shadowing and lighting in the game, it would be good to see it there all the time, since it looks great and also clearly indicates when enemies can see you, and leaves some mystery about the layout of the level. It's also really satifying firing a ton of fireballs and lighting the room up. It would be good to have some indicator or feedback to show when enemies will react to sounds you make.

Game ramps up a little too slowly, and movement/shooting are just a little too sluggish. Everything else is solid.

Thank you for sharing. :D
I would definitely like post compo version of game.

Also Multyplayer would be good in Post-compo (it's just a suggestion).
