Aldarix the Battlemage is a puzzle roguelike (similar to Hoplite or MicRogue), but focused on spellcasting. Defeat hordes of enemies using powerful spells!

The game is primarily targeted towards mobile, but can be played on desktop as well. The link has an executable jar for windows, linux and mac, and an apk for android devices.

There are two modes: Campaign and Survival In campaign mode, life and mana is restored between levels and you can retry a level if you are defeated. In survival mode the levels are more randomized, your life and mana (or lack thereof) is carried to the next level and death is permanent.

The game is not content complete, even if most of the mechanisms are in place. I plan to add more levels, enemies and spells. So I'm primarily interested in feedback about the balancing and gameplay.

How is the difficulty? Do you find that the game advances too slowly or too quickly? Any spells that are particularly fun or boring? Enemies? And the main question: Does the main character sprite look like a badass battlemage with flowing white hair (think Elric of Melniboné), or (as some claim) like an old lady?
