Players express a desire for more diverse gameplay mechanics and spells, suggesting that while the current spells add challenge, the introduction of beneficial spells could enhance the experience and create more dynamic interactions within the game.
- “I'm hoping that there are more mechanics or even other spells that will come with future updates. The current ones make the game more challenging, but I feel there should be some beneficial spells added to mix things up, such as enhanced versions of a bolt that chains downwards in a line, or an enhanced fire bolt that immediately burns an orb instead of just keeping it on the board unusable.”
