The hook of dialing a spell by typing in up to 5 elements with 8 keys is really novel, and makes for a very cool hook. However, as a game? It's very lacking. As cool as dialing a spell is, in combat you don't really have enough time to really think through what spells to dish out, resulting in combat that feels very spammy and crummy. The boring and repetitive enemies just aren't fun to fight even with neato spell casting and you get tired it long before finishing the second level.
