How it feels

A methodical and creative metroidvania where you build your own spells by connecting programming-like blocks, rewarding experimentation and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the spell-crafting concept but find the execution lacking, calling the game more of a proof of concept than a full title. It is short at 4-5 hours, and the metroidvania platforming barely uses the magic system, leaving players wishing the game leaned harder into its unique premise.
