I saw this game at ECGC 2023 and talked with the developer. I'm a sucker for elemental magic systems, and this game has a good one. It does a good job making the spells feel like actual spells, where each one has a variety of uses, instead of the standard "magic is only for combat, and every spell only does one thing".

User Reviews
As a Steam indie developer who uses Unity, I'm always curious in seeing other projects that use Unity. Even better when they have that hack and slash / fantasy vibe! This is a cute top-down game with an interesting application of Four Seasons by Vivaldi. The game has a great sense of direction taking the player to their next goal. Definitely recommended if you're into top-down shooter indie games!
