You're a Cat Wizard. You enter The Catacombs.

A roguelike turn-based battler. Learn new spells, find magical trinkets, and fight as long as you can.

Made in a week for Godot Wild Jam #95 with theme "Retro". This version doesn't have a defined ending, try to survive for as long as possible!

How to play

You can figure out the mechanics as you go, but if you're confused, here's some info:

You're met with a series of battles, each of which has several enemies to fight. You alternate turns with the enemy. 

You check the enemy's planned actions with Assess.
Cast spells at the cost of Mana points. 

When your health reaches 0, you lose. You (or the enemy) may block some damage with shields but these are not persistent across turns. 

There are two status effects you may come across:

Burns - Deals damage at the end of you/your enemy's turn and expires
Poison - Deals damage at the end of you/your enemy's turn, lowers its value by 1 and persists into the next turn

After every battle, you get to choose an upgrade. Some take effect immediately, others are new spells and other are trinkets which give you permanent buffs.
