There's something to rolling die and matching sigils\/symbols that I find fun. Dragging the die felt like they weighed a metric ton, though. The play area also felt very constricted. A lot of screen space wasn't interactable and was devoted to showing enemies. Their position or proximity didn't seem to matter, though.\n\nAs others mentioned, the description was helpful.

Except the dice weight mentioned above I would also suggest making the casting circle particles end more tightly and mushrooms to despawn quicker to strengthen the action effect.
