this was really neat, it was like little alchemy versus! once i got the hang of what i was doing, i had a lot of fun. my personal strat was to repeatedly alternate between casting fire and earth on my opponent, so that the lava pools would just stunlock their ai. even though i was kinda able to cheese it like that, the ai was still REALLY good for a jam game! i can’t even imagine the amount of logic that had to go into making it so smart. this game would also be super good if it had a multiplayer mode! the plays that would go into competitive transmogrification would be unreal. great job!

Yeah, feel free to punish the opponent for getting stuck. Take any advantage you can get because just between you and me, I think he cheats.
The AI is a behavior tree. Here's a link to a screenshot of what it looks like because it's technically spoilers https://imgur.com/a/nOCesWU. It's pretty bulky but it is very powerful and highly reusable. I don't know if you are familiar with the structure specifics but it shouldn't be hard to feel out in either case. There's a wiki article on it too if you were curious.
