Monster Mash

Monster Mash!

Description

My entry for Ludum Dare 33. The theme was "You Are the Monster". In this game, you play a Necromancer who has been shunned by the community. So you will destroy the community! See how long you can last, and destroy as many villages as possible with the spells you will acquire along the way.

Controls

• Left Mouse Button - Cast Spell

• Mouse Wheel - Cycle through spells.

• 1 - 8 Keys - Select spell.

Spells

• Eldritch Bolt - A simple, fast spell that does little damage.

• Fireball - A powerful crowd control spell that damages everything around it.

• Lightning Bolt - A very powerful spell that will jump to up to 3 surrounding targets.

• Blood Siphon - Low on health? Hit someone with this and you'll feel better.

• Skull Barrier - Are Archers becoming a problem? Cast this to create guardian skulls that will absorb one arrow for you.

• Summon Zombie - A dumb, weak undead for you to terrorize the townsfolk with.

• Summon Skeleton - A fast, powerful undead that will tear those soldiers to shreads!

• Summon Wraith - The fastest, most powerful undead, for when you're in over your head!

Enemies

• Peasant - Your every day, run of the mill peasant. Look at them, with those dumb, smug faces. Kill them all!

• Soldier - The dumbest of them all. But watch out! They make up for the lack of brain power with some muscle.

• Archer - Cowards. Every one of them. They won't ever get close to you. They will just stand back and pelt you with arrows.

• Priest - A force to be reckoned with. Let them get near your undead and you will be sorry.

Additional Details

The little pentagrams beneath your experience bar show how many summons you have left. Each summon spell consumes a specific amount of these. Spend them wisely! To case a Summon spell, you must click a grave from a fallen enemy.

• Zombie - 1 Summon Point
