Very much Magicka inspired it became :D
I know exactly what you mean with the controls. I think it is the navigation agent that flips out and makes the char run in another direction. It would have been better if it just ran in the direction of the mouse there. And it is terribly hard up there in the wind zone. Even with wildfire and melee I think :D
We had fun trying to figure out what different sort of applications the spells should have, and wildfire turned out nice I think =)
Glad to hear you had fun, and good thing you never saw the last boss, lol!
