The fact that range mobs can attack through wall and we don't is a funny injustice!
There were some obvious graphical glitches, like the game only using part of the screen and that some of the tutorial boxes were just sticking around and being in the way without a way to dismiss them. I also felt like the hitbox for the character was a bit too unforgiving. It probably was the outline of the sprite, but fair feeling would have it shrunk in a bit in my opinion. It would also have been nice to toggle auto-shoot to not have to hold mouse button pressed.
All in all though, a fun entry. I think if the collisions weren't feeling a bit unfair and if it wasn't so fidgety to put stuff into the cauldron while avoiding the enemies, I would probably have attempted the rainbow at least one more time.
