It reminds me Magicka haha! It was so hard with 4 enemies at the same time...Good job!

good game was actually fun to play always i would be more interested if it was faster and more effects but overall great work (Y)

Nice little game! I thought the difficulty ramp up was great, the last wave was just hard enough without being impossible. Nice work!

Fun game! The elemental attacks are a cool twist. I'd try making them a little faster and see how it affects the feel of the game.

I like the spell switching and charging. Elemental enemies look good and the last wave was a good challenge.

A thoroughly well-polished game

It was taking me so long to defeat the rock guy until I realised that the green + values were actually a BAD thing. XD

Overall, I enjoyed it. There's a nice pacing to the gameplay, the controls are generally pretty responsive and weapon switching is simple enough. Graphics are decent, sound effects are good. It seems that when you hug the bottom edge of the area, you move a lot slower, which is a bit odd. Some music would make a nice touch!

You guys have a great Magicka vibe right there. It is a challenging game when it progresses, and it feels polished gameplay-wise! Keep up the good work!

Very well done! The graphics and sound effects are simple, but they work well. I liked feeling like a badass and destroying all the "minions" with a single charged shot before they got to me. Good difficulty ramp as well, and it was challenging, fun, and addictive. Great work!

The four elements are pretty cliche. This kind of magic is not really that interesting. It is very obvious which spell to use against each foe.

It only got interesting when all enemies spawned at the same time, because they started overlaying each other. The previous levels were pretty boring. I missed a self hp indicator.

On the other side, particles are pretty impressive and the simple graphics style works well altogether.

A fine entry. A minute or two into a game i got stuck at the bottom of the screen (couldn't move up). ;)
