Welcome to Zui's Witch Academy, a bossrush roguelike-styled game that encourages creativity by building decks to face off against skilled bosses in a row to beat the game. Dodge bosses using your roll and attack! It's as simple as that :)

Made in about a month for the Boss Rush Game Jam! The theme for the game jam was spin! The bosses will rotate their arena in creative ways, synced up to the music and each one boasting an interesting gimmick!

I love the graphics. I certainly enjoy the game.

I loved this game! The only thing I think it could improve is maybe adding passive power-ups after beating a boss. But it's nice!

My ranking of favorite bosses would be:

1- Gravey
2- Deton
3- Globey
4- Nexa
5- Zui
6- Mimi
7- Bulbtrifier
8- Boogle beast

I definitely enjoyed it even though I suck :/

I love this game, and I really like the fun different abilities. I think the different spells keep things interesting and gets me thinking in the way risk of rain makes me think about which items work well together. If I could make one suggestion, I would like it if the spell card's text immediately displayed, instead of being typed out like the dialogue, I often find myself feeling impatient waiting for the text to display. All in all great game!

This is fun, but I think the bosses are too hard for three lives total to be a reasonable expectation for Normal mode.

Well it would be really good by my lmb broke so.... yeah. Though this happens to be very creative and fun. Good job

This game has a TON of potential. It's already really good. One thing that make it too artificially difficult in my opinion, is that it's way too easy to lose track of where your own character is. She's so small and doesn't stand out a ton. Especially in a level like Nexa's, where the camera is going wild and stuff is flying around, I literally had no clue where my character was in relation to anything.

(+2)

Just realized another thing about Nexa that feels a bit unfair. When she uses the move where you need to pick the cup she didn't hit, you can go stand next to the correct cup, but then the floor rotates and you do not move along with it, forcing you to pick the incorrect cup and taking huge damage.

Wow! Every stage was so unique and full of personality—it was an absolute blast!
Even on Normal difficulty, the game was pretty tough, with intense battles that really tested my aiming skills. I struggled a lot, but the sense of accomplishment when I finally cleared it was incredible!
My favorite fights were against Mimi and Globeh.

I streamed my playthrough and recorded it, but I accidentally played an older version of the game, so I ended up playing with Nexa’s bug still present.

After the stream, I tried several times on Hard, but I just couldn’t win at all. Still, it was so much fun! Someday, I’ll conquer Hard mode—nya!

fantastic job on the visuals, this was a blast! i frankly have no notes, the protagonist is also v cute

(+4)

It's a great game, but some things make it bad for the player

1. The tea girl boss is way too hard to hit, I drafted all the bosses except her

2. For the bomb guy  when he goes out of the map and throws the bomb there is no indicator of where the bomb will fall

3. the snack guy level is way dark I couldn't see him (I didn't even know how I defeated it)

the spell who shoots fast is realy good to see where he is

(+2)

esse jogo é incrível mano eu fiquei hora jogando

(1 edit) (+3)

amazing music, art, and flavor!! love the boss gimmicks, but definitely might be too hard for the average person like me :P

edit: somewhat reminds me of noisz, which i love <3

(+2)

nexa sometimes gets stuck on the teacups, might have been related to my necromancy skeletons pushing it around?

Interesting, yeah, I'm not sure what's causing that issue but we'll look into it again later

(+2)

The best game I've seen so far.
