Fully agreeing with @Axel7
- the gameplay seems to be fluid but you could need about 3 more mob types that do something else than just rush at you directly - I personally recommend some skeleton archers, having to evade projectiles will add to this even if its just ~3 archers at start.
- I am not certain if delivering more wands increases enemy difficulty. It should, and it should tell the player that it does. I quit after 15 deliveries because I did not find anything new any more.
- This type of game would profit from having a larger map with labyrinth type shortcuts, like "destroy the barrels with a fireball so they blow up the fence. Can only be done if the barrels are hit from the side where the barrels stand." ... "Cast ice magic here to create an iceblock to pass the river" etc. The player would have to memorize where he already has created shortcuts, especially when he replays a map (because of death). Some shortcuts (like the iceblock) could be timed.
good start, keep it up!
It's pretty good, I just find that I quickly get to the point of having delivered all wands types so it becomes repetitive after a bit.
good
it looks cool, but needs a LOT of work still.
