  • Playability: Most of the mechanics worked well and was an interesting experience. However, I would see the crystals move across the screen but most of them would not collect into the inventory. Theme: I will give you alchemy because you can mix together different crystals for different towers, but it did not seem like it really changed a whole lot visually/mechanically (other than the tower color). Cleverness: An average tower defense with power upgrades. I would like to see the attacks change as you add powers. What purpose do they have? Are some enemies weaker to different types of attacks? Artistic Style: Pretty simple visuals that worked. Would love to see visual changes as things change/upgrade.
  • Fun game, really enjoyed it. A few bugs with picking up crystals. Maybe have them sit till they can be clicked on would help with this. They just few off the screen for me. Still very fun and was good to see all the creature designs and placing towers.
