Really good base game! Also, seriously enjoy that you have a save state working already. Knowing that my progress is saved and that I can come back to it is nice. Sound effects for individual spells, enemy attacks, and menu interaction would give this game even more impact. Nice work for a short jam!

Good core to this one, I actually had loads of fun. Also we almost had the same name! Spillspin vs SpellSpun. :)

Oh, I see the value here... If this were more polished and had more sound effects it would be an A+.. Great start!

Hello! I played 2 runs of your game, on the second run I made it to level 10, which seems to be the first boss! I have some feedback:

• It's not entirely clear what the eye symbol means until you upgrade it, or that it seems to be persistent between runs (is that intentional? It kept the higher value when I restarted, but it reset when I reloaded the page despite my other upgrades still being there). Maybe add a tooltip to it?
• I know you're working on the adding spells functionality, but it would be nice if there was a 'spellbook' menu where you can see what spells you do have, and their costs, or at least possibly add a spells cost to it's tooltip? I learned what spells cost as I went but it's not immediately obvious
• Is there a difference between 'confused' and 'stunned'? Do higher numbers increase potency of things like poision/healing or just their duration? In general I think buffs and debuffs could use some clarity maybe, -again-, with a tooltip
• It seems that when you lose a run you start the next run at 50% HP. I assume this is intentional given the "You crawl away" message, but it feels odd without anything telling you that it's going to happen. This did not happen when I reloaded the page, I was at the full 100% HP for my next run after that.
• The tooltips indicate that different spells have different damage types. I assume some enemies are weak to certain ones, however I didn't really ever get any sense of which ones were which (outside of just logic, I would assume the fireball enemies are weak to water)
• When you get to a large number of active elements or elements in your wheel on the upgrade screen it would be nice to have a scroll function maybe?
• Maybe add some way to return to the main menu from inside the game? Even if it would end your run, having to click "end turn" until a monster kills you is tedious, and as mentioned above reloading resets your vision stat.
• The purple enemies that look like atoms can stunlock you for a while if RNG favors them. This isn't really an issue I suppose, but it was annoying, lol.
• Possibly add consumable items? RNG can really hurt you if you don't roll any earth or wind symbols to heal/give yourself buffs. Reorganizing your wheel mitigates that somewhat, but having like a potion option on the rewards screen could be cool!
• I found a couple things that I think are bugs:
  • When you have multiple enemies on the screen and 4 or more offensive spells available to you it does not seem to be possible to click the rightmost spell on any enemies that are to the left of another.
  • On the upgrades screen it didn't seem to let me put two new elements next to one another
  • The number on the stun icon on an enemy was not displaying properly at one point I think. They were stunned for several turns even though the number was showing '1' and I was not casting any more spells that could cause stun. This was on a purple atom enemy in room 5, if you're trying to recreate the bug

I hope that doesn't sound to negative, my goal is to be constructive and help the game improve! Overall, I really enjoyed this game! I thought the art was very good, and I like the font you used for the title card and things. I want to come back to it when you add the gain new spell functionality!

Have a great day and good luck in the Game Jam!

awesome game
