Just a small game about a wizard named Douglas trying to find his way out of captivity. You must shift the shape of your environment and use nature to your advantage to defeat enemies and hopefully make it out alive. My one tip is to take things slow, as to not miss anything.
1.Very minor bug fixes: -The music did not work correctly(it would layer instead of starting over when restarting levels) and neither did certain sound effects(sounds would not play when they should have). -The player could walk on spikes without dying.
2.Added a better description. Hope that doesn't count as adding features lol.
3.Fixed a very minor spelling mistake (spelled 'badly' as 'padly' in the final level).
@donvermo I was really close to the line in terms of time, so I wanted to push out the Windows version first. I will try to port it to Mac and Linux and maybe even Android in the near future ^.^'
Game is freezing at start when I try to do anything after trying A and D controls. When I press R, level restart (but not music, music is layering) and game is freezing again.
@02fc.exe Not sure why it would be freezing, but the music layering is very much and issue. I will try my best to fix it up after getting home from school.
@Danny Gallagher Thank you! It really means a lot~ What do you mean by unresponsive?
I saw a post about your game and loved the graphics right away! :D The gameplay is simple but works really well. I stopped at the part with the grey character as I didn't know what to do ^^'
I'd sure like to see this game turn into something bigger. With the simple controls it could even work on mobile!
I can't get past the second obstacle ( the wooden crate ) - so can't rate on the rest. Not sure if it's a bug or I'm just not doing it right. Clicking the dirt makes the selection expand, but frantic clicking doesn't get me to the sweet manna. :(
Great graphics! I can understand the argument with unresponsiveness. Since the player can move just every 0.x seconds you can smash the button but it will still take while till the character moves. I guess the grey character is the end of the game, reaching that resets me back to scene 1.
Thank you so much for all your kind words, guys! I'm super glad you enjoyed the graphics/the game in general. I do think that with more polish and time, this could turn into a full game, yes! About the crate level, you simply have to right click the dirt to make spikes appear that destroy the block. I figured the pun was enough to teach you that, but I guess not xD
The block of the second stage does not break. I click on the ground below, a sign shows that my area of magic increases. When I click again nothing happens. I want to come back here to play. I loved it, but how do I solve this?
The graphics are awesome! And the idea is well implemented! I like the short descriptions that also moved the story forward, would've liked to see more of that! The music is also nice, fits well with the rest of the game. Another thing I would've liked is some sort of visual or sound reminding me that my mana is gone when I try to use it. It left me a little confused in the beginning. All in all, awesome work! ;)
I love the art, and the gameplay is pretty cool too. However I couldn't figure out how to get out of the pit on the level with the bird and mana bugs, but I might give it another try later :) Great job anyway!
Yeah, art is fantastic, game is fun and offers some difficulty, it's pretty innovative in it's gameplay. It is pretty unforgiving sometimes though, sometimes you can misplace a single mana point and you have to start over, I found that when the mana bug appeared was when the game was impossible for me to pass it. Can you tell me how to get past the mana bug level?
The concept behind the game and it's art are awesome! It could use some extra animations and all, but considering the time you had, it was a great job indeed! Some mechanics were not so clear though. The bug steping, for example. The absense of a jump made me waste some good time trying to fall over the bugs to kill then when I only had to walk tward them lol. And try to use the grass better with the game design. I mean, if I see grass and dirt, I assume I will have to use it somehow. Try to use that in your favor! =)
I loved this little puzzle game. The graphics are just great. A lot of character design packed into a low resolution. Great choice of colors too. I liked the level design a lot. You made it so you only progress once you understood the core mechanic. Nice job. :)
oooh! i got it,it was a puzzle game! and i must feedback that there are a big bug that will let people lost... in scene2,if i click left button first,the right click will unuse.... then..the scene4(,can not through in the final pit which near the right border ToT ) totally,it have a great rhythm and alothough it have some blink/ hopping ( just like some japan animation style),but still great rhythm,espically when fighting. i hope there could be more challenge,also mix the puzzle feature in future.(oh just fogot to say that you have great feeling in design/color and light ,i think it is very important to pixel-game) all in all,a great work has taken the first step. well done, cheers!
Nice concept. It's hard at the begining to understand the deplacement and all these mechanic of gameplay but it will surely do an good concept for a future game. The music is good The graphism are wonderful, i like this pixel art aspect Maybe the player should have 2 hearts because we can speedrun pretty easily the game. Just try to add new mechanic in the future of the game ;)
Really nice entry. I was a little confused at first but then got the hang of the mechanics. This definitely has potential to grow into something bigger.

Was a little unresponsive at times but great none the less :)

Graphics are lovely.

Great job overall!
Really good entry, good Job! :)
The graphics/ character are very well done, good job :)
Also the ending is a bit weird. I replayed it a couple of times in the hope that I missed something but I'm pretty sure that that really is the end?
That all said, the graphics look great, awesome job!
I don't get what happened with grey copy of the wizard at the end though.
Music and sounds are nice, but I wish music was a bit louder.
Very nice job overall.
Btw, you have a misspelling: `Sometimes it ends padly`.
Anyways great work!
All in all, awesome work! ;)
And try to use the grass better with the game design. I mean, if I see grass and dirt, I assume I will have to use it somehow. Try to use that in your favor! =)
Great job on this entry! ;)
then..the scene4(,can not through in the final pit which near the right border ToT )
totally,it have a great rhythm and alothough it have some blink/ hopping ( just like some japan animation style),but still great rhythm,espically when fighting.
i hope there could be more challenge,also mix the puzzle feature in future.(oh just fogot to say that you have great feeling in design/color and light ,i think it is very important to pixel-game)
all in all,a great work has taken the first step.
well done, cheers!

Really cute graphics! *o*
I Hope you can extend it and make some cooler levels :D
Sweet work on the graphics, tilesets, background and character sprites are really well made! :)
It took me a while to realize how the controls work, but the way progression happens in the game is pretty enjoyable.
Congrats! :D
