The Lair of K'olekto

Made for LD58 If you get stutters on the web version, try downloading the Windows build. Defend your lair from an invading human army by killing them and collecting their souls! Souls are your equipment, HP, and Mana, so you have to determine quickly what's for wearing and what's for fuel! It's important to collect every soul you can, and judge their usefulness in the heat of battle. Can you defend your lair against the onslaught or will the humans send you to your eternal rest? HOW TO PLAY Defend your lair from invading humans! Survive the onslaught to win the game. Defeated enemies can drop souls. Souls are used to cast spells, but can also be absorbed to empower you. Gaze into the Soul Lantern by holding the Spacebar and select a soul using the Left Mouse Button to absorb it. Absorbed souls are placed on the Soul Queue. The Fortitude of the oldest soul in the queue is damaged by enemy attacks - and once it reaches 0, the soul is destroyed. If an enemy hits you without a soul in the Soul Queue, it’s Game Over. Click the Left Mouse Button to bonk enemies with your staff. You’re a gangly lich though, so doing so costs some Fortitude - whether you hit anything or not!
