Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!

Um, that would be my app: iLightning. http://www.shinyfish.com/ilightning

I'm surprised you're marketing it as a wizard thing. Maybe the audio should use a gravelly voice to say: "Gooooood" or "Something something something darksiiide. Something something something COMB-plete."

Also... this is a nitpick, but I must ask you to rethink the ComicSans font. Just a suggestion.

I downloaded it and tried it, but the UI was way too "productivity app" and not nearly immersive enough. It felt more like checking my Mail than dueling wizards. I already deleted it. For the price, I can't say I wasted my money though.

I think it's pretty cool; way better than any of the mafia wars clones

I do agree with jcromartie that the UI needs to be updated with some harry potter look, but I think the core of the game is good - that's the main thing that counts

I agree the UI is a bit bland- but I'm not too hot on design. Glad you prefer it to Mafia Wars though

(I'm the developer btw)
