I've hit a wall at level 15. (mild spoilers here) I can't figure out how to deal with the multiple spell counters required after a certain point in the level. Super mode is cool, and works, but doesn't last long enough for me to get through the double spells necessary. Some other non-spoilery content: for me, the controls aren't always consistent. Just double-tapping buttons doesn't always work, and the control paradigm of having to use two fingers to swipe and double tap controls was not obvious at first. I very nearly threw the game away before figuring out that I needed to use two fingers. Something in the documentation might make that clearer. Perhaps this is an IOS convention that I as an Android user didn't know about. Question: is the rate at which the supergauge fills affected by the number of spells you cast? I have noticed (I think) that if I screw up a spell, (choose the incorrect element, or aim wrong) that the superguage doesn't recharge as quickly. Is this a correct assumption?? It is bloody addictive.
