Be careful what you wish for! Usually a tired old cliché but this time… well you can’t be for sure if you don’t complete the 13 amazing levels of this puzzle adventure!
\nMove around using the cursor keys and press R when you are stuck and want to retry the current level.
\nThe game takes a good while to load, please be patient! Even if you think it doesn’t it’s doing its magic behind the curtains!

Graphics are amazing, I love the 90’s pre-rendered sprite style, the funky yet dark nature reminded me of The Horde, just without Kirk Cameron lol.
\nFits the theme so well, with death being required to progress. Only downside really was the lack of audio.
\nAdd audio, add a few more levels and powers and stick this on steam for a couple bucks and I would buy it.

The controls are a bit confusing because of the perspective, but you get used to it after some minutes.\nI didn’t quite understand why some wishes don’t show sometimes, but the wish mechanics is really interesting and innovative.\nThe graphics are amazingly and smooth. The animations superb.\nSome music and sound effects would elevate this game to the top.\nStill, one of the best games this year. Fun and polished.

The graphics, particle effects and the big skull animation makes the game eye capturing, hard to believe it can be done in just 13k. The control is also very smooth.
\nI think the level design can be a little bit improved, especially the end. I also had a higher expectation on the ending story, but I have to say the endings are not so surprising. Also to pick different choice at the end, I had to go though all the levels again.

It’s a shame it doesn’t have any sound, because everything else is really well made. The way you teach the player the mechanics for each level, and introduce new mechanics for almost every new level is really good. The progress is fun and solving each puzzle feels rewarding.
\nThem theme is well interpreted, and the last level was a fun twist to the whole game. I had a great time playing this one.
\nThe graphic is not my style, but it’s coherent and it gets a high score from me.
\nThe controls are good, but I sometimes move in the wrong direction of what I intended. I guess it’s because of the isometric view.

\nI love the graphics in this, impressive that you got them all into 13k.
\nAs stated, took ages to load, I presume it was decompressing assets.
\nWhen I pressed Enter to start, it did nothing. Then I tried the other Enter key and that worked ok. The movement sometimes felt odd as I expected movement to be based on the direction the character is facing and not from the level’s point of view.
\nIt’s a shame you can only have one ability at a time, I guess that’s the whole point of the game to plan your route carefully.
\nMaybe adding some sound effects for feedback would be good.
\nWell done, a great entry.

Starts off with an obvious level, introduces one new element at a time, and the “combinations” of powers (like falling into water while being immortal) make you think about what order to use your powers in each level.
\nThe 3D graphics are simple, but surprisingly polished and effective. The isometric look and arrow controls immediately reminded me of 90s era games where isometric was the new hotness.
\nA little bit of background music or a couple of sound effects would make this game near-perfect!

All this complexity in 13k is hard, nice job! Miss sounds or music a bit. Impressive the amount of 3D details.
