Idea

Uh-oh! Your safe and sweet magic lab is under attack of monster hordes! Ain't no way you're getting your hands dirty yourself! Let's summon some creatures — they will help you instead!

How to play

Drag jewels to the magic circle and drop them into empty slots.

Drag placed elements again to rotate them.

When two or more arrows with the same color face each other a link between them will appear.

The more connections you have — the more powerful your creature will be!

When you're done drawing your circle, press summon button on the right side of the screen.

Don't let enemies defeat all your creatures, otherwise say goodbye to your neat and sweet magic lab!

FAQ


Q: I keep getting a rat, what should I do?

A: There are 8 types of summoned creatures in the game. When you pass a certain threshold of stats, you get a new type of creature.

Q: Why gameplay is so slow?

A: The balance has been specially adjusted so that it is easy for a beginner to figure out what to do.

Q: What determines the strength of the opponents and the number of slots?

A: You get score points for defeating monsters. The more points you have, the stronger the enemies, the more cells and the better the runes.

Q: I barely can see the lines on gems!

A: For whatever reason, WebGL doesn't properly render them :( There's nothing we can do just for now. Windows version of the game doesn't have this issue however!
