This was great, I haven't finished it because my sick mind is too fogged up on cold medicine right now, but as soon as I get better I'm finishing this! As soon as I got to the double, where you have the two characters to control but their mirrored to each other, that's where I had the most trouble, and I very soon died. This was excellent! so much fun! I got a lot of laughs out of the magician boss! All in all this was spectacular! I love the music I found my self moving my head to the rhythm of the song and immediately liking it from first listen! You've got a gem here, I hope you know that!
Absolutely fantastic. The influence is clear, yet different in enough regards to feel completely unique in its own right. I'd be the first in line to buy this game if it was made into a larger project. You've got something special here, and you should keep going. One of the most fun games I've played this year by a long shot.
Thanks! It took me three months from very beginning to very end, which included all of the game design / asset creation / programming as well as spending two weeks learning enough music theory to be able to write music.
I'm always surprised at the quality of games that come out of Pico-8. Unfortunately, because of its limitations, the games won't ever be more than a microgame. For what it is though, it's fantastic, and I could see it as being a high quality demo from another, larger game.
I basically fumbled and lost immediately as soon as he splits you in two
Every little detail of this game has been paid attention to. The juiciness of tile collecting, the little smears when my blob moves around the field. And the adorable introduction of the boss! Plus, the game's challenge is fun and fair. If this developer ever makes a game with a collection of bosses like this, they can count on a download from me!
Wow, this is one boss I liked (and grew to not like :p); he's fun to watch, but fighting against him? I pity the poor soul who has to endure it, because it was one method of attack after another, and with significant variations too XD
I liked how the music has a catchy theme, the pixel art was done very nicely, the boss's animations were very charming, and the inclusion of both player clones and boss clones made the last 2 stages very intense :o
Absolutely brilliant game! Enjoyed the game mechanics and never knew what crazy new idea would get thrown into the mix next. Boss attacks were very well telegraphed and never felt unfair, and I loved how all the actions were in sync with the music. Pixel art and audio were spot on too :)

Great game! Fantastic art, good mechanics, short, sweet, and to the point! I'm curious, how long did it take to make this game?

You got me to love and hate that boss very quickly. Well done. 👏👏👏👏
Charming little game. Very satisfying.
It was easy until I got a double... And then I died immediately.
Sure, it's just one boss... but it's hard!
what you used to creat? the engine and the language
Im pretty sure they used PICO-8
ok thx
Yup! This is a PICO-8 game, which is a lovely platform for making small games full of pixely goodness.
Such a polished game. I felt the pacing was fair. The magician-themed attacks were creative and fun. Thanks for making it!
