Minerva finds herself in a forest clearing, surrounded by trees and bushes crawling with fire-breathing salamanders. Defenseless, she needs to learn to harness the magical forces emanating from strange statues dotted throughout the forest.

Retrospective

The plan for this game, which is still unchanged, is to have a small variety of spells that interact with each other in chaotic ways, resulting in flexibility in playstyle.

Also, I'm thinking I should switch out the first spell from a single firebolt projectile to a kind of saber. Maybe like a flamethrower thing? Something that doesn't need such precise aim.

There should be 7 areas in total. I was planning on putting together two for this jam, but I got caught up trying to make the bush walls autotile.
