Great game but not very friendly to left handed players if you’re using something like a handheld. I’m using the Ally X and I can’t change the controls to have the right joystick be movement so I can draw with my left hand.

The game has potential. I love the concept, but it becomes unplayable once you start ramping up to 45 minute runs and your FPS drops to 2. Hoping this can be addressed soon so we can really push through.

So far played this for a few hours on steam deck and it has worked pretty great, use the left joystick to do the WASD movement and for everything else use the touchscreen. It's a very unique and fun idea taking advantage of touch controls, I've enjoyed the game so far. I can definitely recommend picking it up if you enjoy survivor likes. Also the art style is super cute. And even after several runs I'm still unlocking new things like companions and a whole new set of spells. Very fun.

1. In my opinion, the game wasn’t ready for release. There are still a lot of unfinished and unpolished things, and the game occasionally crashes (the process simply dies), causing all the progress you’ve accumulated to be lost. Цhat’s the point of having a “Continue” button? On the bright side, the developers have released several fixes since launch. I hope they won’t abandon the game and will continue to improve and develop it. 2. The game also has a great mechanic where drawing a sign applies different status effects. HOWEVER, sometimes the sign appears on the ground very far away from where you actually drew it. This is especially noticeable with smaller signs. 3. It feels like some skills were added just to tick a box, because they are significantly weaker than other abilities. For example, Milk’s basic ability, Magic Missile, is much more useful and cheaper than Raise Dead. The monsters are extremely slow, and even upgrading them doesn’t make the situation much better. 4. There is some interaction between skills, but it feels quite weak, and the combinations don’t improve the abilities by much. Take Magic Missile, for example. If you combine it with Ink, the projectiles become black and deal around 25% more damage. But why would I spend mana on a second spell just for a 25% damage increase? Without upgrades, this combination makes some sense because Ink costs almost no mana and still gives you that 25% bonus. However, after upgrading Ink, it starts costing almost as much mana, while the bonus remains at 25%. For comparison, I could simply use Thunder Storm, which already has high DPS, and spending the same amount of mana on it would give me much more than a 25% damage increase. Having skill interactions is definitely a good thing, but once again, the balance feels rather weak. I’m not writing this review because I want to bash the game. I’m writing it because I can see a great concept and a lot of potential here. Thank you to the developers, and I’m looking forward to future updates!

I played it a little and it's really fun! Only problem i have is that my wrist hurts after playing, but then the loading screen showed some wrist exercises! I appreciate the devs having the wrist pains of the players in mind. Besides that there is a mode where you don't need to draw, you can instead use buttons. I still want to draw my spells myself, but having that feature is really considerate. I totally recommand this game!
