why didn't you release this little gem on Steam?

E.T.C.Lundberg2 years ago

There's so much I want to fix with how the runes work. Make them stand out from each other, both visually and mechanically. How they combine with rune words and find some subtle way to give hints to players about rune words. +add different environments and enemy interactions. I would still like to improve it someday, but yeah, the core system required more refinement then what I initially expected.
