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!

Updates:

We made some changes to make the game a bit more enjoyable

  • - Reworked the dash to feel a bit better, it adds some velocity and has some other effects on top of it. Also adjusted immunity/cooldown times
  • Fixed issues with the camera/how much you can see
  • Added a setting to disable pixelation effect
  • Brought back the camera zoom slider
  • Added steam achievements :), there's one for clearing each difficulty and each impossible mode boss. Good luck
  • Added an option to toggle windowed mode/fullscreen
  • Reduced particles on a lot of different effects
  • Made all trails smoothly die out
  • Bulbtrifier's electric ball now has different sizes depending on which one she is doing, and also no longer oscillates to 0 size
  • Globeh's plates flicker white for a bit when he phase shifts
  • Electric Chain card now has a sound effect and a yellow cursor indicating where the bolt will be placed
  • Adjusted the particles of a few spells
  • Actually fixed the Nexa stuck in cup bug
  • Rysa is no longer in the sleeping/death animation when entering a boss room
  • Fixed reset save not writing to file
  • Greatly buffed Magic Sword's attack speed but gave it crappy range and gave it several more swings in its combo. It has high damage output but only when really close to enemies
  • Buffed Punch's range by half a tile
  • Added a cursor indicating where shadow attack will teleport you to
  • Increased Shadow Attack's range from 4 tiles -> 6 tiles, damage from 3 -> 8 and made it 50% slower. It's a hard-hitting slow spell now
  • Nerfed Shape Minigun's attack speed by a lil'
  • Fixed Magic Missile spam
  • Added impossible mode Zui
  • Added a black border around the screen edges so pixels don't bleed
  • Fixed Bulbtrifier's velocity during one of her attacks
  • Made Nexa's cups during the super spin attack a bit easier to read and dodge
  • Made Globeh's plates blink white before they start spinning instead of at the same time
  • Gave back Rysa's dodge cooldown
  • Removed a pixelation shader I forgot to remove that was making things look slightly weird
  • Zoomed out the camera bit so it's closer to what it originally was

Can you make it so I can change the controls, clicking right click on my mac is little hard. Other than that, it is great

I'm sorry do I smell Touhou reference!?!

Lunziestella responds:

youre very right :3

Stuffs good in this game. I see things theres too much fitting in the screen why am i teeny tiny witch girl. 4.5 Stars for creativity of attacks but music was not keeping me too happy this game was tried and not pursued for me.

I love challenging games

i love the vibes and the character designs, but it's quite a bit too in-your-face for a beginner. The tutorial does help, but it doesn't really allow you to really learn from experience, more just tells you what to do and expects you to be good at it. I think a game like this would work a lot better if it had more of a story mode that began with this character first starting magic school, rather than the whole story taking place entirely on the final test day. Overall though, I did really enjoy finding the best ways to beat the bosses, it was just a bit hard to get accustomed to the gameplay.
