So this is a game, where you're a wise wizard {{some cool name for a hero}}. Yup.
Your goal is to defeat... evil monster called {{some scary/evil name for a boss}}
As your weapon you use the Staff of Life, that creates life, from any other alive,or not-so-alive life form.. what? I mean. Beware of enemies that want you stop you from your goal. Now go and become a wizard for about 5 minutes and be slayed by nasty monsters or be victorious and the greatest virtual wizard of all time.

Controls:
~ WASD - you know.. walk.. just go for a walk already!
~ LMB - you can shoot. wow.
~ SPACE - and yeah, you can jump, but its completely useless, so..

So this game at the start I had very good time with. First I thought it was a good idea, and it still is. But what bothers me though, that I need to learn myself to correctly manage time and stuff. At first day of event, I don know why, but I went straight into AI coding. Yeah it is all good and such but, I lost nearly 8 hours on AI alone (well before I didn't implement any A* pathfinding at all, before it was Unity pathfinding or simply go-straight-ahead-screw-the-walls logic). So I could make It a bit easier and win some time for myself. But still, I like how it turned out, although a bit buggy.
After the AI thingy I was drawing some concepts and stuff.. characters (there was supposed to be more than one character),so yeah.. On the second day, I did a great job(I think) with enemy spawning and wave system, well and ofc it took me a while to do. And still happy how it works, pretty flexible system.
So initially I wanted to enter a compo, buuut I didn't because there was no Boss, no.. other stuff-too-much-to-count. So I decided to enter a Jam. At the third day I actually had to go to the university, and half of a day was, well.. whatever. So after that, back at home, tired as hell, I had to finish my game, ofc. Aaand I drew that boss in 1 or 2 hours, then its time to programm it, make animations. So I did that. And I'm done. I'm so done. Need. More. Sleep. But anyway I had a lot of fun doing it, and actualy game itself turned out pretty good. So check it out boyz 'n' girlz ;)
Very polished and fun to play. The only complaint would be the lack of any indication whether I actually was damaging the boss. I just magicked him for a minute or so and he suddenly died.
Thank you brandann! I will, but first I want to clean it up, beacause it's all hard coded stuff, especially the boss part that was programmed in the last hours of day 3.
Love it! The graphics are great, especially the cute beasties the enemies get turned into. Great fun to play. I don't know whether you meant it to let you leave a room before you'd killed everything, you can basically run straight through from the start to the boss - unless that was intentional, maybe you could add something to stop you leaving a room until you've wiped out all the waves of enemies. Overall, excellent :)
omg I love it! Really really fun! Amazing pixel art and mechanics. Juiciness was amazing. I really want to do right now a game like this, whith that way to spawn enemies! Cooooool! The only trouble I had was spawning projectiles near a wall or a bush, they always get destroyed just on instanciate. Good job!!
Really awesome entry, polished indeed :) The only problem I had was that I kept hitting the walls when being to close and trying to shoot in the other direction. Apart from that, fun game. Great job!
Funny, short, and well-polished. I beat the game first try, with a grand total of two health left. If you expand it, consider adding a health regen mechanic of some kind!
My only complaint was the fact that it could get a little...distracting, after finishing a wave, with so many passive creatures on-screen at once. Nearly died like that.

Anyway you can post the source code?
