Probably the best theme implementation of the whole Jam!
Really enjoyed this, those red fast armored guys are fast! I had a problem with the first level they appeared I think it was level 6, Finally managed to do it only to die a couple of levels later to a massive Mage in a ?cave?.
Most of the things I would like to see improved upon have been mentioned before, as GarbageBunny69 said spell icons instead of books would be nice.
And I kinda ended up doing the same thing as shano19 just mashing all keybinds to remove the gimmick. I have no idea how that could be fixed tough.
Would have loved some sound :D
Overall Good job and thanks for making this.
