Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- The theme was not obvious enough. There could be some balancing, for how difficult it is to cast a spell I would expect it to do more damage. Melee just seemed way easier and only a minor dps loss. Appreciated the unique spell casting mechanics. Some balancing and background music would engage players longer.

Tell us about your game!
Controls are demonstrated at the start of the game for you!
Input m1, m2, shift, and space to cast each element
Input and swipe the mouse to throw the element
Input and swirl the mouse to cast an alternate spell for the element
Input an element and then input a different element to combine them (if you have the combination unlocked)
The world is procedurally generated with preset rooms. each room has enemies, some rooms have items that increase stats, and some rooms will grant you new elements to play with.
Find the final room to open the portal to a new floor (another generated level). At these new floors, enemies get harder and new elements can be found.
You start with fire. at the first level you will then find air. At subsequent levels (or game overs), you can find the rest of the 4 basic elements. On subsequent generations you can find combinations of these elements. (currently only lava, metal, and light, are implemented)
Extra Notes
hit escape to open the "Jam" menu for fun stuff
Known issues:
- Room generation doesn't update between levels.
- After unlocking elements, refresh the browser page to generate new rooms to unlock new elements (unlocked elements will be saved)
- or just use the jam menu :P
- combination element rooms don't generate even when required elements are unlocked
- use the jam menu to unlock them to play around with

Very cool game. I like the different spells being tied to mouse movement. Could see this getting a much bigger release!
Didn't get super far, but really fun main mechanic! I think it could be a bit easier, maybe make the enemies less aggressive and plentiful. But I really loved swirling the elements around and tossing them. Especially the tossing, it just works and feels so fun.
I also think giving the spells a little knockback help make them feel powerful. Good stuff.
