This game has style, great art, and a stellar gameplay. (I LOOOOVE some of the more advanced spells)
My only complaint is that the player can get overwhelmed pretty easily. It can feel straight up punishing at times from a single accidental miscast in the later levels... but at the same time, the difficulty is appreciated :)
Pretty cool idea. It's a bit difficult. It's really good that you show how to cast the spells.
An idea: Do you think you could have a really low damage fireball but that is really easy to perform (like pressing left and right). If you do so, I could use some when I panic because the enemies are pretty close.
I plan to tune down the difficulty in the future. The shortest spell is Spark (right/left/right). The problem is that spell key combinations are not allowed to "overlap", so having a really short spell blocks alot of possible combinations. I probably redo the hotkeys eventually, maybe even let the player choose the combination themselves.
But right now it's very difficult to play. Easy upgrade: you could display the selected kets during the main phase (I didn't remember which color was for which key).
Also I didn't get the tempo right, but I guess it's something to discover alone :p
I added a display for the hotkeys as you suggested.
I also made Fireball a little easier to cast: Press and release button1 on the first note, press and hold button1 on the second note and release on the fourth note( It would probably be easier to explain in a video xd. Or I might add a tutorial.)

it's a cool game with a few other spells, great enemy sprites and gameplay!
but i wish the note explode with some effects when it's been hit.
great job!

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting idea. Pretty hard at first, but I like it. Well done
Nice game!
Much easier than DotA 2 's Invoker , so fits very well for noobs like me!
I've done approximately the same thing (combining keys) in my game.
Love the idea! And it's pretty well done!
