Death Death Resurrection (Ludum Dare 55)

Note: If it laggy, turn off Weather effect in setting (press esc)

Defend your lair...

It is not as easy as one would think, being an evil necromancer in a hellish fortress.
Every other day, it seems some heroic paladin or another marches in, intent on 'cleansing' the place you live.

So prepare your spellbook once more, and summon your minions to ward off this latest annoyance.

Like any evil wizard worth his salt, you can modify your spells to adapt to the challenge, using both magical prefixes and suffixes to summon just the right beast for hero-killing.

Gameplay  

* The crusader will move through your lair, cleansing ritual sites. If he gets through all of them, it's game over

* Use WASD to input spell combinations
* Take 'prefixes' from the left and 'suffixes' from the right for unique results
* Space bar locks the spell in, click to cast

Tips

* Our shiny hero adapts to what you throw at him - swarms of weaker monsters will turn him into a reckless horde killer, and stronger ones will make him armour up. Strategise accordingly to bait him into letting his guard down.

Known issues

* SFX/music volume balance (just turn the SFX slider down to about 1/3)
* The game is hard. Yep.
