Yeah I wish we had more time to spend on the visual but the programming took the majority of our time
My one gripe is that after restarting it seems to make me go through the tutorial again, which was a bit long/slow.
Still, a fun core mechanic that might be even cooler if integrated into a larger game! It makes me think back to my days of playing DnD, where spells had both verbal and somatic components to them!
You can skip the tutorial if you hit the start button on the menu rather than the tutorial button
Glad you enjoyed it!
However, I couldn't experience this game. The tutorial didn't recognize my wand movements as correct most of the time, and the game wouldn't detect my voice correctly. I managed to summon something only one time out of the tutorial, after that - only skeletons. And I didn't know what was wrong each time. Maybe it'd be helpful to have a written hint why the spell didn't work (was it chanting or wand movement? Seeing how tutorial went, it could be both). It'd also be helpful if the game visualized the wand movements that it recognized (with arrows) and wrote the words that I was chanting (with text label), this way I'd have an idea if I was doing this right.

Maybe it's something wrong on my device. I'll try it with a different one later, and if something changes, I'll let you know. Game feedback would still be very helpful!
Anyway, that's a very creative, charming and fun entry! Giving you highest ratings. Great job!
Really good take on the theme and those wand movements just killed me x'D
Great job!
