Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
In MagicPanic, you play an evil wizard in his dungeon.
An army of adventurers are coming to try to kill you. It's up to you to stop them with your magic powers.
MagicPanic is a shoot 'em up with many possibilities :
- You can increase your powers by gaining levels.
- Kill enemies to win XP.
- Collect items to increase your chances of victory.
- Use your shield with intelligence.
- 5 different types of enemies.
- 6 power-up. (4 for the shoot, 2 for the shield).
- A dark potion with special power.
- Around 15 waves of enemies.
Good game !

Great entry! The pacing, level up system, different enemy types, and shield abilities were all really well done. Surprisingly gruesome.
Really good job on this game, full of interesting contents ! Love how the "good gus" are talking to us in a heroic way, really funny ! And it gets really hard in the end, a good challenge !
I would have like an item attracting capacity though ;)
The game is really cool, the gameplay is fun and challenging, the npc quotes are really funny. Great job ^^
Neat! Polished and elegant.
It's a little slow in the beginning after I die. If you add a skip intro or something I'll play again ;)
Really cool game with an awesome art style, and great humor! My one complaint is the difficulty spike on (what I assume is) the very last level. Everything was very easy until that one, and then the screen is filled with enemies and it's extremely hard.
Anyways, great work!
Great game lots of fun, quite difficult but that just makes is better
I always like games where you play the villain! Nice music and graphics, great that you followed the theme. Nice game and thumbs up for Java!
Great entry. It is nice to have two different keys for firing (I cannot use space and two arrows at the same time because of keyboard ghosting).
Holy crap ! This is a compo ??? Well done !!! Game is really neat !
Thank you for comments :)
Yes this is a compo :)
I've run out of time to add more content like a big boss or a super-power but I'm satisfaying with the result.
(I have hardly slept during these 48 hours to make this game ^^)
This game is awesome ! The art is gorgeous, the music is really cool, the gameplay is fun, everything is so nice ! It is really an amazing compo game !
tu etais sur mon stream tu as eu les reactions en live !
génial !
AWESOME.
Quite fun and charming! Lots of content to it as well, with the abilities and different potions, etc.
Music is suitable, sounds are all right. Graphics are good and cute. Gives it lots of charm. Something I may play again.
All-around good entry. A bit challenging for me. I like the short text at the beginning.
Good pixel art game. Concept is interesting ! well done. Good mechanic. Continue your idea, Add some magics actions ;).
Polish, gradualy difficult and fun ! It's a great game ! The only one think who bother me was the unability to shot in back when running away from ennemies.
Mwahaha, this last wave is IMPOSSIBLE! xD
Maybe the game I had the most fun with, and one of the most complete one. Really great job!
Thanks all !
I work on a new version with more enemies, more powers and more waves.
(And an option to skip the intro)
Quite complete game, really neat entry, pretty strong in each aspect and really fun gameplay. I especially love the different kind of enemies. Really impressive for compo
This game rocks, classic but super smart and efficient! Super polish too, we're super impressed.
I don't know if it was just me, but I can't shoot and go to the top left, and that really ruined my experience, even if if it's a solid game.
You are the first to say that, you play with WASD ou arrow keys ?
Can you try with arrow keys ?
What is your OS and java version ?
Cool entry! Great pacing and level of difficulty.
The pixelart is kinda cute, the music fits.
I like it ^^
Fantastic! I really enjoyed this game, really fun, fantastic graphics. Simple but extremely well made and most importantly fun! Great stuff! ^^
Good job but the shoot direction isn't intuitive, the dialog of enemies is funny
Really well made game! You didn't do anything that special with the theme but that doesn't matter, you did a great job!
a very nice little game. Enjoyed it very much. Love the fact that shots are not instant.
Fun, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/OCZRRN3xYEY
cool game, I like what those little figures shout when they want to kill the wizard
the graphics are really nice
I think this hase a lot of potential
