Seems really awesome but hard to understand how to play. Hopefully with more instructions this can be a really fun game!

Pleasing to the eye picture!

The abilities icons were hard for me to figure out — you could make it more clear how the elements align with the abilities. Also, I came across a bug in which I was stuck in a wall, and couldn't move (see screenshot). Other than that, this is a solid entry. I like the music and graphics a lot. This game has a nice feel to it. I also like the way in which the abilities change after a few seconds (hence the theme), and you did a good job of incorporating the different elements.

The music is really nice, as well as the graphics! Some instructions would've helped though. I just read in the comments above about how the ability is according to the elements; I hadn't understood that but its really cool!! Some animations would also add a lot, as well as sound effects.

A little confused with the abilities at start like the other but I really like the nice little character and the music :)

Looks great! Felt very subject to randomness since I couldn't control my power set or the enemies I encountered.

I was really enticed by the wizardry theme and spell system! I would have liked a little more room to explore the cool gameplay systems before getting overrun by enemies. When I did get a chance to use abilities I didn't really feel like I knew what I was doing but it looked really cool. I also like how the character's robes change color. Great work and hope to see more games by you in future jams!

Nice game. You forgot to mention: HOLD SHIFT to walk faster. Pretty interesting concept but the idea of being fully powerless until you get another randomly chosen element was really discouraging. Some more explainations about how the game mechanics work would be nice. Also there is a bug where the goal counter becomes negative if you keep clicking on the topmost option.

I really liked the music! But the controls are a little bit off...

I really like the style of the game, everything from the colours to the character designs. I struggled to figure it out though and would've loved a tutorial of some sort. If you update this with instructions please let me know. Also some of the UI items weren't in full view, perhaps I missed something on the edges
