Summon to Survive

In “Summon to Survive”, you play a wizard who is very frail and sick. The slightest hit from an enemy would kill you. Therefore, you utilize the ability to summon clones to explore a dungeon. In this dungeon, the Magic Potion of Eternal Youth is said to be found. Use your summoned clones to fight, overcome obstacles, and solve puzzles.

>The river you walk along babbles gently. You remember following it decades ago, but its name or why you undertook the journey has long since slipped your mind. The years wear on you. Heavily, you lean on your staff and pause. At your current pace, you should reach the entrance to the Forgotten Ruins of Khardaresh by nightfall. The legendary Potion of Eternal Youth, buried deep within the ruins, may be your only hope to elude death for a few more years. Time is running short and your bones ache. Sighing, you take a sip of water from your flask and press on.
Your summoned clones have different skills. Use them to your advantage!
Controls:
- Move: WASD / Left Stick- Dash (as clone): LShift / LT or RT
- Jump (as clone): Space / A
- Attack (as clone): Left Mouse / X
- Block (as clone): Right Mouse / B
- Cycle Summon Left: Q / LB

- Summon: F / Y

Loved the animated intro! Background music nicely fits the vibe. Fits the theme well.
The very zoomed in mini-map gave me no extra clue on where I was. Combined with the same-looking rooms, I was disoriented quickly and the slow moving + not able to spam skills with quicker movement made me lose interest quicker.
The shooting currently takes movement direction, where I would've expected it to shoot where I was looking with my mouse.
You made a great game, hope you had fun making it!

You guys are killing it, my friends, the level of completion is seriously impressive.

you've got a lot done for a 3 day jam! impressive! Only thing I'd suggest some way to regain mana faster. Also maybe the rotation bounds could be dropped somehow? ;)
Sadly all chests I've found are empty. Does that mean the real youth potion was the adventure I was having?

I liked the idea wizard stands a lot. I ended up wandering around a lot without any idea of where to go. Since the base wizard was so slow, I constantly cycled f and shift to dash a lot without losing mana. I wish there was more to do in the game.
I should also mention the title screen and opening animation are great, love the comedic timings.
