  • The game plays well, the gameloop works. It definitely gets more challenging as time goes on and the mix and match is working fine. I haven't seen a similar game yet so that is also quite decent. But neither the art style nor the themes explanation are supporting each other well. The enemies are white blobs, hence there is no "shadow" to cast away. And the mix and match / powerup system of players only has ties to alchemy in so far as you call the power up potions. But it could definitely get there, if you out more iterations on it. So overall promising game, I had fun playing, that needs some more work on the theme and the art style supporting the theme.

This is interesting. I like how you have to try and deal with several enemies at once instead of targeting each one alone.
