Saoirse, a necromancer in training, goes on a quest to defeat the Skellords of Spelleton and prove to the world that they are the most powerful necromancer to have ever lived… or died. Take control of undead creatures and assemble a powerful skeletal army, or destroy their bones to empower yourself with necrotic energy. Will your sacrifices be worth it, or was the true magic the boney friends you made along the way?

Pretty fun game!

Although the controls felt a little weird for my liking, this game is really good!

Graphics are great!

The shooting kind of needs some work too, cuz when I shoot and my cursor is in a location, it shoots a little too much to the right or too left and I can't kill the enemies.

Hope to see you improve from this!

This is the kind of quality I would not expect from a game jam (no offense to other participants)! I'm not good at playing it so I only got 2 cats (and then lost them to an invisible enemy :/), but I really like the art, the maps, the catchy sound and all the graphics in it. I'm still figuring out how exactly the E/R commands work, but it's great to have them all permanently shown on the screen. And the skelefriends are really cute!

Love the game! It hits all the right ARPG spots and more.

I think a few things that would make the game a bit better is a bit more click feed-back when you move/where you are moving to. So its not perfect, but super impressive overall. The tunes and art are so bouncy and I love it all. Especially the tree tile/cube, just love it. I got lost a few times because I backtracked to spend my bones... I just had so many bones.

I couldn't figure out what the spell upgrade does... but I managed to solo a elephant by kiting it with one point of speed. It feels so wrong yet so right.

Very polished and complete game! Graphics and audio are great and it feels good to play.

The moving and shooting could be a bit less clunky - you feel like some encounters should be very easy but they are actually pretty hard due to having to click to move a little bit, shoot of one fireball, then haae the character stop and get attacked etc

Cool game! Really hard but fun to play. My troops don't try too hard to defend me when enemies try to overwhelm me, they mostly just sit by unless I tell them to go somewhere. I would make it easier for the player to get back health too, since they can hardly avoid taking damage from even the weakest guys.
