Shift Wizard

Kudos for finishing a game in just 48 hours. It's a feat in and of itself. The concept works fairly well, but the execution left a few things to be desired. a full screen option would be nice, and also the characters would sometimes just stop doing anything except for walking around. I cast 1 spell each and then the first player couldn't do anything else after that, so I was stuff until I hit another array indexing error. I think this could be good with some quality of life improvements to consistency and some bug fixing.

Good start! I was certainly intrigued by the look and feel, depite having to dodge a few crashes. Looking forward to what game you make next time!

I think I really struggled getting to grips with this one, for some reason my keys weren't responding to the situation, I think some keyboard prompts might have helped here. I will need to revisit and give it another go but it's a great foundation to expand on, the ideas are all here :) brave doing an entirely two-player game for a jam and it needs a little tweaking around the edges but it's a good start to build upon

I could see this becoming something quite interesting if you keep working on it after the jam.

The keys you picked for the controls are a bit awkward, so I had to keep referring back here as I played. Also, I might be wrong as I played this on my own, but it seems to me that as things are right now, the player that goes second has a significant advantage because they get to respond to the actions of the first player. I'm not sure how you'd fix that in local multiplayer, but it would be a non-issue if the game was online.

Either way, good effort! Congrats on finishing your first jam!

Nice logic game with cool idea.

Some tips:

• the game resolution is small and fullscreen is not available, so the screen is too small
• it should be enough to press left/up/right/down arrow key to move to the correct square if available, don´t let the players to do this because players are inaccurate :)
• placement of the spells could be more flexible (because now player 2 is only able to swap places at the beginning if I understand correctly), maybe allow to move to more squares or choose not to use the current spell
• fix bugs which you have already mentioned in the description
• EDIT: the controls are confusing, since numkey is used for two different purposes (one player casts with it and the other one uses it for movement)

Congratulations for your first entry and thanks for submission.

Congrats on your first jam! I played around with this for a while and think I see where you're going with it - and I like that direction!
