The controls could be a bit more friendly for switching between abilities, but this is still pretty fun.

From the very beginning you are using a massive fire spell to take down waves of enemies, and you only get stronger from that. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"glowingredhue","author_uid":"3634","time":"Jan 6, 2012 @ 4:03am","epoch":1325822280,"text":"It's a fun little game!
