Fools to the Slaughter

You are a mighty lich! The depths of your forbidden knowledge are vast and existence itself is threatened by your reawakening!

Your powers must finish rekindling before your true wrath can be felt. However, mere mortals endeavor to disrupt your villainous revival and impending reign. Crush them!

You are big and mostly unmoving. The adventurers come to you, facing down your daunting spells. It's your boss room, after all.

Instructions

• Kill all the adventurers. All waves of adventurers must be defeated before progressing to the next level.
• Use your spells by either clicking the buttons on the right side or tapping the corresponding hotkey (Q through R). Once fully charged, the spell will target your cursor (or the last tapped location on mobile).
• Spells cost mana to use. If you run out of mana, you can cast spells using your health instead until your mana has regenerated as long as the cost wouldn't kill you. If you run out of health, it's game over.

Created in 48 hours for the GMTK Jam 2023 to fit the theme "Role Reversal".
