Hi Wizards ⚡

BIG NEWS AGAIN: Our demo will be featured in Steam’s Next Fest (Oct 13-20)! 

Join us for some fun streams, exciting announcements, and maybe even a competition where the prize is having a mini-boss named after you 👀👀

For the past 2 months, we’ve been busy cooking up tons of new features and improving the game’s feel and polish. Excited to see what you guys think! 

Unlockables

Our most requested feature is finally available - You can now track all of your crafted spells, unlock crazier arcana, and build the ultimate collection in your spellbook.

New Rune-Based Fixed Cost Mana & Cooldown System

You now have full control over knowing what the cooldown and mana will be when you’re crafting a rune combo. This also addresses a common piece of feedback about wanting to see a spell's mana cost in the tooltip.

Tutorial

Feeling lost when you start our game? Don’t worry - our Shopkeeper will now walk you through all the mechanics in our new thorough tutorial!

Polish

New damage numbers 💯

Knockback 💨 and Screenshake 💥

Spiffed-up UI: difficulty tier menu, borders, backgrounds 😻

Holographic shader for enchanted runes ✨

~Tree wiggle~

Other New Features

  • New slow, burn, and stun status effects

  • Health drops

  • New cooldown arcana

Thank you for all of your support, and get ready for Next Fest!!
