- I think that this game has potential, but it is obvious that its very incomplete. Also the theming doesn't really do anything mechanically, like you don't combine anything and there are no real shadow mechanics. So not a great game jam game, but I can see your vision and I think you should keep working on it!

Extra Notes
I was only able to really work on the project for the first week, so I didn't want to join another group with this huge restriction. Overall, I took advantage of the "prototype" requirement and focused on good gameplay and feel. There isn't any sound and it's lacking in a lot of areas; I just didn't have the time or energy to finish it all last minute. Overall, it was a great prompt that inspired me to use mechanics from some of my favorite games.

The earth spell looks a bit like poop which made the game very fun for me thematically! 10/10 poop wall is best meta
