Qwirk

Qwirk is a small proof-of-concept Metroidvania game with a spellbinding twist. Instead of the extra abilities you gain being permanent, you cast them like spells to gain the respective ability for a short time.  These abilities can then be used to overcome the obstacles in the game world, all the while hunting for collectibles.

HOW TO PLAY

In Qwirk, your objective revolves around finding the two spells in the game world and using them to find the exit. There are also collectibles to find, but finding said collectibles is not mandatory for beating the game - they merely exist as a completionist incentive.

The bar to the top right is essentially your spell timer. You can cast a spell when the meter is full. Upon casting a spell, the meter will start going down, and a new spell cannot be cast until the previously casted spell runs out and the meter is refilled. Only one ability can be active at a time.
