Woah amazing work on the one button controls. Clever game design there. This entry has a lot of potential, I really hope you continue development on this on concept in the future.

This was really fun! Tighten up the graphics and the audio, and you've got something special!

Quite a wide variety of possible moves and interactions.
Graphics weren't great but it is a consistent style.

Props for having a nice in-game tutorial.
Overall, I did enjoy the gameplay quite a bit.

Alot of fun for such a simple yet involved control scheme. Think it would have been a bit better with less health to make matches a bit quicker

Surprisingly deep game! Very impressive!

Innovation 5/5: Really innovative game!

Fun 4/5: It's repetitive after a while, but trying different spells is funny.

Theme 5/5: Great use of theme!

Graphics 2/5: Rushed MS Paint graphics. At least have charm :).

Humor 4/5: Funny enemies.

Mood 3/5: The backgrounds and characters give to it a fantastical environment mood.

Overall 5/5: Great entry, improve graphics and change a bit the controls (I would suggest one button for green circles and anoher fo red ones). It have a lot of potential.

This has to be my favorite game so far! :) Great gameplay and if you added more enemies (maybe random?) i could see myself buying this game for money!

Well done! Feels like the finger gymnastics from magicka but with one button. O_O

I thought this was a really awesome entry! Great concept that fits perfectly with the theme (as another comment said, you could have made the "long-press" a different button, but that would have made potential balance issues with the mana orbs...) it was lots of fun and felt fleshed out for a jam game. I liked the charm of the art, and particularly appreciated that you went "all-in" with it -- making full backgrounds and details in the levels, which takes it above what a lot of other entries get to. Again, great job and congrats! I had a lot of fun with this one.

Loved it! I find it funny lol, also spell combinations were fun to discover and play with
JohnWatmuff16 Dec 2015, 02:21
Pretty fun! Great focus on gameplay. I wish I had a friend to play with, but the bots seemed to fight well enough. well done.

The controls are amazing. I loved the tutorial, it was fantastic. The fact that you have two player and single player is astounding. This would be great to play with friends. I had so much fun that I bookmarked it. Your gameplay is innovative, robust, and fun. It's simple and technical at the same time. I'm very impressed. You should get an artist to work with you and develop this further!

Neat mechanic for 1 button.
MrAmlice16 Dec 2015, 04:02
Very good use of the 2 button mechanics. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this. The fights are a little bit too long imo (maybe reduce HP). The game design as a whole is outstanding though, and there's definitely a lot of depth to it. Great Job!

Fun game. I am not a big fan of the graphics but they work.

Cool game! I'll have to try this with my roommate. :) My favorite things in games is messing around and seeing what abilities and mechanics are available. So naturally, I loved this. Good job!

This was very fun with a friend! The gameplay is simple to learn but challenging to master. We had lots of fun trying to out-wizard each other. The sounds and graphics go along nicely together. Good work!
NoWandStudios18 Dec 2015, 18:20
Mechanics reminds me Magicka. I don't like sounds, when you've played for a long time they're annoying. Overall a solid entry!
MercuryXGames19 Dec 2015, 13:06
The game is fun and I really like the concept you were going with. Really liked getting the combo where you slow down the projectiles, and afterwards just annihilate the opponent by using the magic shield and see their face when I send like 3 projectiles at them for a almost one-hit move.

The good:
Neat concept and true to the theme: attacks are determined by length of pressing buttons/button patterns.

The tutorial was very good

The bad:
I wish the sprites were a little more detiled but I can't fault you for that because the mechanics are solid.

Nice work!

Really nice game overall, loved the combo possibilities.

The graphics are pretty terrible but understandable for programmer art. The gameplay is amazing and reminds me a lot of Magicka, with a dash of Divekick mixed in. Very awesome, well done.

Such a cool idea and really fun to play,
I like the little dance when you beat somebody :)
Nice!

This is excellent, if I were you I would definitely expand this, it has great potential as a phone game.
