Overall, really good game! I have 3 major complaints though:
1. Your position in spell merger menu is really not clear at all (I'm using a controller btw), maybe consider adding a white border around the currently selected cell in the grid?
2. The basic spells feels waaay too weak (Even for a basic spell) when you start the game, maybe bump the damage up a tad bit?
3. The game also feels kinda rough, I don't really know how to explain it but it's like you can feel it's a demo (But that should hopefully get better as development progresses)

Otherwise, I really liked the art, music and gameplay so great job on that! I hope that you manage to put out the finished product :D

Hi Vlosyros,

Thanks a lot for the feedback! 

 1. It's weird because there should be a white border animation showing currently selected UI element.

2. Basic Spell is like that because he is used mainly for regenerating mana. The thing is that before his base damage was 2x higher and it was already enough to not feel the need of casting the special spells that you're creating, especially with few Perks boosting it. Balancing it is a problematic stuff. However in the main game it will be possible to boost base damage of the Basic Spell in the meta progression.

3. Hmm, maybe because there is so little content available? Like only 1 level which you can finish pretty quickly. Also enemies on level 1 are really weak too because I didn't want players to hit the wall with too strong normal enemies right at the beginning of the game :D

It does appear when I have no spells, but once I get some the border disappears :/

I will take look at it, really weird stuff :(

Good luck!
