About this game

Spell Caster is a glyph-tracing arena game for Wear OS.

You are the rune. Your finger is the wand.

Creatures drift in from the bezel toward your core at the center. Above
each one floats the glyph that destroys it: a circle, a slash, a V. Trace
that glyph on your watch face and the matching enemy detonates in a burst
of particles.

It sounds easy. It isn't.

When the screen has three different enemies all heading for your core,
you have to pick which to kill first — and trace correctly under pressure.
The recognizer is forgiving but not blind. Sloppy circles get rejected.
A real V that bends at the bottom works; one that's just a wavy line
doesn't. You learn the gestures fast.

Wave 1 and 2 use just two glyphs: circle and slash. Wave 3+ unlocks the
V. As waves progress, enemies are faster and spawn closer together. Every
three waves grants a FREEZE — enemies stop moving for a full second and
a half. Use it to clear a swarm in calm.

Features
• Gesture-recognition gameplay (custom unistroke recognizer)
• Three distinct glyphs unlocked progressively
• Wave-based progression — enemies get faster and more numerous
• Combo multiplier for chain kills
• Freeze power-up every 3rd wave
• Particle effects on every cast
• Star-field atmospheric background
• 3 health (core hits) before game over
• Persistent high score
• Standalone — no phone required
• No ads, no IAP, no internet

Controls
• Drag on the screen to trace a glyph
• Lift your finger → cast the spell
• Tap on Ready/Game Over → start/restart

Tips
• Trace big and confident. The recognizer prefers strokes that fill
most of the screen.
• Prioritize the closest enemy to your core, not the highest scoring.
• Combo multiplier resets if you hit nothing — don't waste casts.

Built for Wear OS 3+. Standalone, offline, no tracking.

Why drawing on a watch?
Drawing on a phone is easy and not novel. Drawing on a small, round
watch face under pressure is a unique tactile experience that doesn't
exist on any other device. Spell Caster makes that the core mechanic.

Best played in short, intense sessions. The first 5 waves teach you the
shapes; the next 10 test your speed under chaos.
