The Smattering

The Smattering

Overview:

This game was made in 2 weeks for Pirate Software Jam 15, and the theme was Shadows and Alchemy.

Life got in the way during the jam period, so the game is missing many of the core features and polish elements that I had initially planned. This serves more as a mechanic demo than a completed project. Regardless, I hope you have fun with it! Design doc below, leave a comment if you can't access it.

Combine chemicals to defeat enemies and advance through the level. List of Combinations: 

Triangle -> Circle: Glowing potion, use to light up dark areas

Triangle -> Square: Basic attack

Square -> Triangle: Heavy attack

Tablets with symbols on them must be hit by a potion made up of the two shapes depicted on the tablet, then they will open nearby doors. For example, if a tablet depicts a Square with a Triangle below it, the player must combine Square -> Triangle (In that order) and hit the tablet with the potion effect.
