This was kinda neat, the spelling combat was pretty fun and I liked the character sounding out the letters. The art was nice and the movement felt nice, though the lack of backwards movement was a bit odd.
I sadly didn't get through the whole game, on the green floor the way to the next level was seemingly blocked and I couldn't clear it. I feel like I got the gist of the game though with the typing out spells to cast, and then acquiring new spells and health increases with each level.
I agree with the other commetns here about shortening the enemy turns, because the couple seconds of down time really adds up after the first few encounters.
Overall I think this was quite nice, though the combat did feel a bit repetitive after a while. Perhaps it has some interesting twists in the higher levels that I missed? For a jam game though I think the scope was appropriate, and I mean that as a complement as someone who sucks at handling scope.
Good work!
