Played until the end (1h18min). Your prototype is fun.
I feel like you got the pacing for resource gathering just right. In no moment it felt like a chore, but the game still forced me to be strategic on where to spend them.
Knowledge in special feels great - there are multiple knowledge sinks, and all of them feel desirable for the player.
Wood on the other hand is just used for totems and as a requirement for tower ascension. That’s OK, but even with 50 druids and 30 mana producers, gathering enough mana was faster. It could see some rebalancing, plus additional sinks.
Zooming and moving around is a bit weird.
Holding the mouse button instead of clicking is an amazing improvement over the typical games in the genre. I wish there was a further upgrade that replaced holding mouse click (for additional production in one facility) with a simple selection of which facility the wizard should be buffing up.
Unfortunately due to limitations of Godot 4.2, the game may not run for some MacOs/Linux machines
The browser version is working fine in my Linux Mint 22.1, but if lots of players are complaining about it you might want to consider proper Linux and MacOS builds.
This is most excellent. I have an incremental game of my own and it's not nearly as good because I cannot figure out how to balance things like prices, upgrades and prestiges. What's your advice on balancing? How did you achieve it?
Look, the worst thing about this game is that it has a timer that limits clicks per second. I know I clicked a lot more than what I get, the game is running at 100% speed since I have a decent computer. This is an unbearable game design flaw.
in fact it has to be intentional, normally you would just accept all clicks. so you want to inflate game length??

Thank you if you do answer, absolutely no problem if you don't, I'm going to be asking a lot of my favorite creators these questions to see if anyone will respond.
i love the art and sounds in this! the pink and blue is so pretty, the music never felt repetitive and the clicking sounds were perfect. and very satisfying game loop

is there a max level for the amount of spirits or totems?
Help a wizard construct the mightiest wizard tower in this short incremental game!

Help a wizard construct the mightiest wizard tower in this incremental game!
OK BUT ACTUALLY ITS NOT SHORT I MEAN IT
how is it not short i beat it in under 3 hours?
I absolutely love the style of the sprites and the background. Very simple yet beautiful art style, and addictive (at least for me) game play.
The game is very serene. I caw in awe!
Can't wait for the steam release!
Fun demo, wishlisted on Steam!
The music is very good, i'm now about let it running as background ambient music. Also love the color palettes
Very fun game, I liked maxing out everything lol

Nice game, thank you.
Super addictive and charming, I only wish it was longer!
10/10
This is SUCH a good little game, it's short but I enjoyed the heck out of it, great game!
Such a cool game, something new always came up before you get tired, the balancing is superb.
very good game
Hey man, it's really pretty cool. I like it and want more of this content!
Got to the end of the prototype. I liked the graphics and the game's pacing in general!
Goated game, rlly relaxing to
Simple graphics but kinda addictive. Amazing game!
The graphics are simple but immersive. I love it!
very fun game! I especially like the color pallets.
I think there's a small bug, it says I need 350k to reach advance in the tower, yet I have 236k and says I have acomplshed that requirement.
It is 350k total. The magic you spent on upgrades previously still count.

super cute, i love the color palette
fun game would love to see more content for it
This was a lot of fun to play! Any chance of a Mac version in the future?
Very cool game. I burst out laughing several times, notably when I unlocked "Dragon Bond". Because "The name's Bond. Dragon Bond."
Fantastic and super relaxing game. played for about 2 hours and would have played for longer if i didnt reach the end of the prototype!!
