Maiden & Spell (Demo)

 I never buy games and I was gonna pirate this as well. Decided to buy it for online play...

 Best decision I ever made in my life.

 The single player is good, but the online versus is a M A S T E R P I E C E !! I can say with confidence that his is one of the very best versus games ever made, unconventional or otherwise, and somehow there's no lag whatsoever!

 I'm sad that it doesn't seem to be getting the attention it deserves,  I  will tell everybody about this game, although, even with a small community I have no doubt this game will last for years, truly great competitive games always do.

Thank you for this absolute gem!!!!

as a longtime senko no ronde fan i just wanted to thank you for making this; you really nailed the magical girl aesthetic and it's very charming all throughout 🥰

p.s. thank you for the ammo/cooldown rings, it was a very nice surprise to see those again!!

So good Nice game!! Though title music reminds me of touhou themes ha ;-)

btw, is there any key to make a in-game snapshot? And where it will be released on finally? <3

I can't seem to beat that one boss with her Steelfall attack. It always hit me.

I'm too lazy to leave a big lengthy review. So I'll leave a small list-thing instead.

1 - Music is awesome. No complaints.

2 - Movement is fluid (I tried playing on my better, non-crappy computer and it was much better.) On my crappy PC it wasn't unplayable, just unbearably slow. I felt like I was cheating. The only reason I noticed something was off was because I saw what the actual gameplay was supposed to look like.

3 - Difficulty is okay. (In my opinion) it's not insanely hard, but maintains a relatively decent difficulty. It's definitely not "easy" by any means, but I wish there was an option to change the game like increasing the speed by a bit or making the the hitbox slightly bigger or something. The difficulty is definitely "high," but not as much that I'd break my keyboard. I can totally understand why some battles would be nerfed, but it's really good so far.

4 - The intro was a bit endearing. It wasn't actually that big of a barrage of information, because you only had to memorize a couple keys and just press randomly until you got them down. I may or may not have just clicked through it and regretted it for the first couple minutes of playing.

Absolutely fantastic demo, can't get enough of the art. The gameplay is pure bullet hell madness with magical girls being the focal point. You will be dodging and slinging spells continuously in this magical firefight extravaganza. I am eagerly awaiting the full release.

Oh and Ps. if you think you're a monster of bullet hells and decided to jump in at hard difficulty then you're gonna have a rude awakening, this game beat me down until I memorized the attacks and even then I end up dodging into some pain.

Found your game through the twitter of LUCAH developer and I'm really glad I did!

I only played the first story campagin so far but I already have few questions and minor compaints.

1) How exactly does focus work? I only used it to make the basic attack stronger and to see my hitbox but is it all it does? I think in tutorial it said something about improving your accuracy but aren't most attacks auto-aimed at enemy anyway?

2) Does the size of a circle around characters indicate anything except whether they use focus or not?

3) Is there a planned release date for the game? I can't wait to play the full version!

4) This is where minor complaints start. The second ability of the first story character (Sorry, I'm bad at remembering names) seemed pretty useless, the basic attack is much stronger. I thought to use it during magnus stages when I needed to stay mobile but it's damage seemed so low that it didn't make much of a difference.

5) The last enemy of the first campagin is much stronger then the first two. I understand that it's still a demo, so it's supposed to be a final boss but the difficulty spike is just way too big. I still haven't beaten her even after about 20 or so tries.

6) Please make moons during the last boss's magnus stage stand out more. It probably sounds weird but a lot of the times I just didn't notice them despite their huge size until it was too late because they don't really stand out that much on the black backgroung.

When I was playing this game I mostly said I hate this game so much but the game is so good.

You see when you put on your big boy pants and go to normal mode and then get destroyed on the first person you see.  And then go to easy mode to see if your going to beat that and still fail. You tend to wish you were actually video games. But you still play because the art in the game is great!

*and also your friend said you were bad*

But Its a really good game and I can't wait for the full release of this game! :D

I am now complete and incomplete

I managed to complete both the hero of frost and the royal arcanist's story but I only beat their stories on easy mode when there's also normal and hard mode. This is gonna be one hell of a ride 

Please bless me mino ;-;

I quite enjoy the mechanics and the game is very cute and nice! There is a few things that I would suggest though.

First, I would tune the difficulty a little bit more. For someone who is just learning, easy mode shouldn't be incredibly difficult. I spent some time in the training area but that still wasn't enough. I imagine since this fighter does have more unique mechanics and movement, tuning some of the difficulty down in easy mode would help people adjust. 

Secondly, I really enjoy the concept of two main attacks, one that hits non-moving targets, and one that doesn't. I think there needs to be some more tuning when it comes to how many projectiles of the ones that hit stationary targets should be released. Right now, it can very often feel like those attacks are too powerful for some characters as it makes it hard to move around AND would hit you standing still. 

Lastly, and this is more of a nitpick, but I feel like while I enjoy a lot of the sprites and their designs, the animations can sometimes feel like they're lacking a frame or two. The key poses and timing is there, it just can feel a little too snappy, which in a game about fluid motion in a gravity-less environment, kinda counteract each other. Again this is the most nit picky thing I have, the animations are very cute and wonderful, it's just something I noticed.

Overall I think this is a really solid game! I hope you keep working on it and I'm really excited to see what the final product will look like! 

(P.S The menu screen is incredibly polished! From the Art to the Music it all creates a distinct mood that's quite unique <3)

I feel kinda stupid calling it a magnus CARD when I think it's a barrier

wow, this game is good and when I mean good I mean G O O D... but there is some things about this that I have to criticize. First of all the game is hard, this game kicked my ass plenty of times but the thing was I was on easy mode, I am a massive scrub with this game and I have a difficult time with the last part of the demo. Fighting against the hero of frost is a little bit easy but once she uses the magnus card it goes from pretty hard to how am I supposed to deal with this. Her attacks for the first phase of the magnus is just a wall of projectiles and I don't even know how to get past that since there IS an opening left in the wall but since you also need to attack her in order to progress with the fight is just annoying to deal with, from that I just gave up and I don't know what's next. But if you face against the royal arcanist, the fight is harder than any fights in my opinion. Her attacks are even more of a pain to deal with and once you take her down to her using the magnus, let me tell you AT THAT POINT SPECIFICALLY is when this fight is just nearly impossible for me. HER ATTACKS ARE EVEN HARDER THAN ANY OTHER CHARACTERS IN THIS GAME and to make it even worse either you fight the hero of frost OR the royal arcanist they have one additional card than you. Now you may think that it just makes it a little harder but after what I've experienced in either one of their fights I find pretty unfair. My point is make the last part really difficult but still forgiving and not too hard. So mino if you read this comment, don't take it WAY TOO SERIOUSLY and just think about making things just a tiny bit more easy, I'm looking forward to the final project of this game and I hope you are still working on this because it's a really good game that's got tons of difficulty in it and is really well made and creative. And now I don't know anything else to say for the end of this, and again don't take this as any harm but just take this into a little consideration. If you disagree with this then I don't care I'm really bad at this game any ways. So keep up the G O O D work ^_^

the soundtracks are really good
