Spell Wheel

A wacky broughlike made for the Seven Day Roguelike Challenge of 2019.

Controls

• Movement: WASD
• Cast: Arrows
• Spin: QE
• Confirm: Enter
• Mouse can be used on Augment menu

Synopsis: Take Emmysaurus through 6 levels of THE PEN and use your SPELL WHEEL to battle everything from Jellies to Milk Bottles. Run for the exit or try to get a high score.

Your Spell Wheel has 4 spokes. Cast in one of the cardinal directions to activate one spoke. Each power on the spoke corresponds to a tile on the map itself and they are activated in order until hitting walls. Each power enhances the current spell and spells can branch into different paths, evolving independently.

Vending Machines: You can attack vending machines to get candy. Candy heals you or gives score if you are already full health. When the vending machine produces a piece of candy, you'll have to try twice as hard to get the next one but technically there is no limit.

Tips below, but they are spoilery!

Spell power descriptions:

• Damage: adds 1 damage (the spell starts out with ZERO damage)
• Multipliers (2,3,5): multiplies the power of  all spell effects previously added
• Poison: does 2 damage per turn. Power => number of turns
• Fire: does 1 damage the first turn, but 1 extra each turn after. Power => number of turns.
• Sleep: immobilizes the enemy. Power => number of turns
• Confuse: randomizes movement. Power => number of turns
• Recharge: recharges the wand itself
• Rotate: spins the wheel clockwise or counterclockwise, one time per power block.
• Pass through wall
• Bone: summons your faithful companion Rosie. Power => Rosie's HP
• Heal: heals affected monsters for the power of the spell
• Explosion: applies spell effects to a a radius dependent on spell power
• Heart: makes an enemy friendly, if the spell has power at least equal to their HP.

Tips:

• You don't have to pick up the spell powers. Each one will spawn a new monster.
• Remember that multipliers on the  beginning of your spoke will have no effect since the spell starts out totally unpowered.
• Spin your wheel to skip a turn.
