keep your party members healthy and your foes at bay! party members can be reconstituted by healing them after they've been downed (with a longer cast time).

About

you are the faithless embryo of an ancient rot. your body has been imbued with magic to, once more, grant it proper form. you, and three others like you, have been tasked with confronting the oncoming threat, regardless of the risks. keep your party in fighting form and strike back at the endless monstrosities of the murrain!

this is my first Pico-8 project and it's been a LONG time since i've played around with game development, so lemme know if you find any bugs, thanks for checking it out !

finally got around to playing this!! vv good time, the art and music scritched my brain and the gameplay had me Zoomed In.


after a couple tries i made it to 74 abominations. my left hand hurts from mashing the heal button. 100% worth it.

i had a really good time with this! My little mouse wizard at the top there eventually just kept getting one shot though and that was a little frustrating. Made it to 55!

Very fun! Love all the designs, and especially like how the abilities are tied to your party members instead of just having the player be the omnipotent damage dealer/healer. How far do you think the score can go?

hey! so glad you enjoyed it ☺️ the enemy damage ramping is pretty mean, getting past 75 is quite impressive. I'd say 80-ish might be the limit before all enemies start one-shotting folks

love this! really fun and easy to grasp. In lieu of a leaderboard, my end score was 71 abominations purged 💪
