Elspell

Elspell is a magical game where you face monsters and other challenges by casting elemental spells. Each spell requires a particular sequence of arm and hand movements, and performing them quickly and smoothly helps you cast combos more efficiently.

Spellcasting

The game has 16 spells, each with its own motions. Some sequences are longer or more complex than others, involving multiple movements or both hands at once. An in-game spell list remains accessible, with visual instructions for casting each spell.

Enemies and progression

You encounter two enemy types, each with elemental variants and stronger versions that have visual changes. Experience and level-ups let you customize your stats; these upgrades are permanent across play sessions. Status effects can affect both you and your enemies over time. For example, fire-based spells can burn enemies, and temporary effects can increase your damage.

Equipment and items

You earn money to buy and equip gloves and charms with different stats and abilities. Spell gems can be bought and equipped to change the effects of your chosen spells. You can also interact with the world by grabbing and throwing elemental devices, picking up and storing items, and consuming active items.

Learning the game

A fully voiced tutorial and a lengthy instructional page explain the basic mechanics. The in-game spell list also provides visual casting instructions for all available spells.
