The selected assets and music are great. The UI is very nice and polished. I really enjoyed the combat mechanics, and it was fun to try to memorize all the spells. However, because I was so focused on the casting indicator at the top of the screen, I wasn’t able to appreciate the animations and didn’t have enough time to check my health regularly, leading to some surprising wins and losses. The first level was quite difficult, but the following levels felt a little too easy as I had more powerful spells. Overall, I had fun, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

Thanks for the response! Focusing on casting is definitely an issue. Ideally it would be solved by people memorizing their spells, but that takes a bit more time commitment than I expect most people will put in.
The issue of the game getting too easy is a big factor of why I added a difficulty system as well.
