Yeah I agree with @Zelora03, if you spam click it trivializes the game. Add a cooldown to the click and it'll greatly improve the game and add to the out of control feeling

Insanely good, nice job!

Audio, even if just free sounds you find online, would greatly improve the feel of the game. Good job for a 6 hour game though.

Can clip through wall fairly easily by spamming the direction pointing into the wall. Which makes the game much much easier. Besides that exploit, pretty awesome game!

Appreciate you releasing it for Mac! I game on both but my laptop is a Mac so this is a perfect game for playing on the go!

Demo wouldn't run on Mac until I did some fiddling with it. Right click on the downloaded "OneStepFromEden_xxx.app" file and click "Show Package Contents", then navigate to "Contents" -> "MacOS". The single file in there is the game executable.  It doesn't have the right flags to be able to run, so to fix that, open up the Application "Terminal" (or any other terminal you may have) and type "chmod a+x " making sure to add the space after x, and then drag the executable into the terminal window and press enter. If the terminal says you don't have permission, try "sudo chmod a+x " instead, and you will need to enter a password after pressing enter.

Now the game is runnable, but the executable is not signed by a trusted signature so Mac Gatekeeper will try to stop you from running it. The trick is to hold option and right click / "secondary click" on the "OneStepFromEden_xxx.app" and click open (not the executable but the original ".app" file you downloaded). This will open a popup that says Mac can not verify the signature, and then you click on "Run anyways" or something along those lines, that should open up the game! It will ask for permissions to access your Keyboard or something along those lines, but in my experience it didn't need this at all to run so feel free to ignore it. From now on you should be able to open the demo normally without having to do any of these steps again.

Anyways for the review of the game itself: 

Beat the first boss on first try, but run wasn't optimal. Had that spell that uses the spell in the other slot and consumes it, and I felt like it opened up a burn strategy that could be really OP, but pace of the game was too frantic to be able to make correct decisions about what to burn. I will definitely spend a little more time with the demo, and when the game drops it's an insta-buy from me. Great work!!
