Runelighter

Disclaimer

This little "game" (obviously, it's not really a game)  is my contribution for the DragonRuby Boss Battle jam. It was an opportunity for me to test an idea of a type of combat that was going around in my head and maybe, if this mode works well, make it a more complete game afterwards.

But it's an absolutely unfinished game. There is still a lot of things missing (including the sound)... Lack of time.

Story

It's time for you to fight the boss... your only weapons are spells. You gain your power from the runes you step on and absorb power from.

Each combination of two runes gives you a spell which you can then use to defeat the boss. But beware, some combinations are inactive

You will have to work on your memory to remember the effects of spells and the most suitable combinations for your fight.

Game after game, the rune / spell combinations are randomized... so that you can fight again and again without getting too bored

Controls

Move with arrows (or WASD), dash or launch spell with space bar

I used a enhanced SLSO8 color palette made by Luis Miguel Maldonado

Some visual effect  (due to a lack of time) came from amazing Ninja Adventure assets pack by Pixel Boy and AAA.
