• The core gameplay loop of translating the wizard's text into the proper combination of gems is challenging, but fun! The turn-based nature lends itself well to this puzzle aspect, and I could see it being expanded to include more effects and attributes. It appears as if more concepts were in the process of being made, such as the timer that appears over the goblins' heads. I think in future gamejams it would make sense to add a victory screen when the player obtains all the spells there are to learn, otherwise they're just sitting at the end. The sound design is appropriately done and very satisfying, especially with the crystals ("clink!"). The GDD is organized well. The different heading levels lend themselves well to the Google Docs' automatic Table of Contents navigation. The indentation was also an excellent choice, allowing anyone's eyes to see what their focus is at a glance. The graphics and inspiration show that you know the genre you're aiming for quite well! Well done!
