Very well fleshed out fire emblem style controls and I loved the voices. Really cool puzzle, although I suppose I wish maybe the elements interacted more? One particular time I was sure I'd beaten a puzzle because I'd blocked the way of the ice wizatd with fire, and then when I used ice to clear the fire, the fire and ice both stayed on the tile.

I know most strategy games are unforgiving about this type of thing, but an \"undo\" button--even for only one move--would be really helpful, especially when one of the wizards' pathfinding put him on an ice patch going the wrong way (I thought he would take the non-icy patch around the corner but he ended up using some precious movement to just slide across one ice square).
