The game is very creative. But with a visual bug from the tutorial and a flat brain  of mine, it is a little to hard to enjoy.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

Unlike our game/audio guy @nıco I actually manged to figure out how this works >:).
Friendly fire aside I quite enjoyed crafting spells (I will admit that I made heavy use of the official A Handy Spell List™).  I too experienced UI formatting issues and I would've liked to have either a spell book or a "study chamber" to try spells with no time pressure. I also love your implementation of the shop and I am looking forward to when you can maybe roll out some fixes after the voting period.

Thank you for playing, and figuring out this cryptic nonsense, haha. Glad you enjoyed the systems in place. Your recommendations are great, definitely some things we considered, but ran out of time. Our programmer was working on demon time trying to get the spells working, he did amazing work. 

The tutorial bug is unfortunate, there’s a few other bugs too…

Unfortunately I could not figure out how to actually do anything in the game. The tutorial was also cut off partly on my screen, so that's unfortunate :(

Developer

Sorry about the tutorial, but I appreciate you trying the game nonetheless, and leaving a comment too! Even if the game experience wasn’t great from the sounds of it. Big thanks.

Really enjoyed trying to make rune combinations. The tutorial had some formatting problems where the left side of the screen was getting cut off, so I missed some of the instructions. I recommend adding a help screen explaining what each rune is. Sometimes I found myself frantically selecting combinations only to hear the failed spell sound. Super cool concept and mechanics. Really like the spell maker mechanic. So much potential there. Managed to get over 500 gold.

I respect the dedication, muddling through the mess of a system. A help screen would definitely be a good implementation. Apologies about the tutorial, unfortunately right now the tutorial on the itch page itself is the way to go, as annoying as that is. Nevertheless, glad to hear your feedback!
