I was a bit confused by how the different elements came into play. The idea of needing to click reflexively is neat, I just think some more clarification was needed on certain things. Like the art a lot, cool vibe!

I'm guessing that different glyph combinations do different amounts of damage to different enemies, but can't say for sure. If that is the case the game ought to communicate it to the player, and which enemies are weak to which glyphs.

That was just a joy, almost theraputic. Thanks for the upload.
Certainly takes a bit to understand, but its quite fun once you get the hang of it.

Echoing the other sentiments. I have no idea what the different glyphs actually do. And I didn't even realize the green one was there because of the backgrounds. It doesn't help that everything moves so fast when you aren't in the summon wheel that I don't get a chance to register what I actually summoned.

Even so, I believe that there is something thoughtful happening there. I think some more onboarding / communication would greatly help.

The drawing style is lovely, and I like the relatively high-speed movement and the time slowdown when unfolding the elements

I'm not sure what I did, but on wave 6, and a few waves after, I started getting insane amounts of points, to the point where I had the full wheel maxed by like wave 11 I think. I was pretty much un-killable and chose to stop at wave 33. Really neat idea, was a bit confusing at first, the slo-mo when selecting is a nice touch. Some improvements could be adding shadows to the elements to see them easier(mainly the green one), and using the scroll wheel to select your element(s). Good Job!
