A short platformer-game where you play as a Blood Mage!

All attacks consume your own health, however *successful hits steal some back!*

Upgrades: Great power comes at a cost, enemies die quicker but so do you!

The goal is to reach the end of the level by getting past the enemy blood mages, who all have the same attacks as you!

The game fits the theme very well. Artstyle is basic, but I like that fireball cast animation and those small details, like eyes blinking.

A bit short, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a shop in there.

Controls are ok. Jumping could be more useful, currently it is unneeded.

Unfortunately, after passing the shop, attacking enemy throws an error

To the moment I've reached - The game is enjoyable, sounds and graphics are cool. Good job!

@zubspace Appreciate the the feedback! I opted for a more basic artstyle partly because I ended up spending a bit too much time on the enemy AI. I think jumping lost some value at one point when I did some balance tweaks, earlier in development it was almost crucial in order to not die; because casting bolts was too expensive and enemies would do it constantly... :sweat_smile:

@noobexception Damn, I will have to look into that! Was it when you attacked or the enemy?

Weirdly, I can't recreate it now, I've passed the game.
Maybe it was something with my computer, I don't know.
I believe it happened on my attack, but not sure.

@noobexception Alright, thanks for trying to find it! I wasn't able to recreate it so hopefully it was a one time thing, might still try to add some fail-safes here and there just in case! :smiley:

Really fast, but intensive experience. Graphics is really eye-pleasant and audio is also good. The game for sure needs longer level. Anyway, good job!

That's cool but way too short, I was able to beat the game too fast, I was waiting for other monsters to shoot :) You had no time to add stuff in the level ?

@sebastien-bourgeois Nah sorry :smiley: I wanted to add more but I ended up spending too much time on the enemy AI, and I thought that just adding more of the same enemies without anything else would get too repetetive for the player haha
