- Nice simple art style and choice of colour palette. Maybe I didn't have time to progress far enough, but I can't see how alchemy was incorporated in the game, even after reading the GDD. Interesting use of shadows though, however I felt that, especially in the beginning, the game was a little clunky, and the spell controls were a little intuitive with a little too much delay. Overall, this is a really good start, well done!
