Mighty the Magic Knight

I am not a developer, but I really love videogames and I know a bit about making games, this motivated me to enter this Jam. So I have a small idea to acompany this small soundtrack.

The idea for this game was basically a run and gun similar to megaman, with magic and parrying as the principal mechanic,  I tought about having different magic spells, you have Life crystals and magic containers, each spell is selected with the select button and casted with A, while casting spells depletes your magic meter, you can recover it by defending with B just in time (only small to medium energy attacks at first) this parry like mechanic freezes the enemy spell on the level as an item for you to collect, defense has 1 to 3 consecutive uses which increment as you advance in the adventure, don't forget the respective cooldown to avoid over use. 

Attacks: 

-Wand Hit (1 hit point low range)

-Basic spell (2 hit point,  mid range, 1/8 of magic container )

-Charged basic spell  (4 hit point, long range, 2/8 of magic container, you have to mantain A pressed)

-Confuse (0 hit point, the enemy hit by it becomes an ally, different enemies have unique skills 1/8 of magic container, some enemies can reflect it and stun the player on hit)

-Fireball (6 hit point to 8  hit point depending on enemy elemental resistance 2/8 of magic container)

-Spark (4 long range sparks that cover a wide range as well like contra shotgun, 2 to 6 hitpoints each depending on enemy elemental resistance 2/8 of magic container)

-Vines ladder (Reach far platforms above you 1/8 Magic Container)

-Icycle (Pierces multiple enemies  and deals 4 hit points to 8  hit point depending on enemy elemental resistance 2/8 Magic Container)

-Meteor rain (Casts a meteor rain that  causes 6 hit points on each impact for 3 seconds 8/8 magic container)

Defense:

-Basic Parry (Small or medium spells drop magic containers medium and small respectively)

-Double parry (unlocking double parry lets you parry 2 consecutive spells to get 2 big containers)

-Triple parry (unlocking triple parry lets you parry 3 consecutive spells from small to big this refills automatically the first two spells to your life and saves the last one with a bonus damage depending on the type of parried spells)
