I Swear I'm A Pacifist
A downloadable game for Windows
Survive as long as you can before the weight of your sins crush you
WASD to control camera, This is a vital part of gameplay.
Mouse Hover to highlight tile, Mouse Left Click to Select tile.
Left Shift to pause Spell Spinning Animation
Killing enemies gives you health and their spells
Killing enemies spawns more enemies
Killing enemies drives you insane, driving you more insane the less mana you put into the spell that killed them
Going completely insane kills you, Focus to stop this from happening, and plan your kills carefully to make sure you dont die in one shot!
Certain Spell Tiles have special effects, experiment! The spells are fully shown to you when you hover their tile, you can try to decipher their code, but good luck! (As a hint, look for the Black Tiles)
Sound coming in next build before jam ends (hopefully)
Please Report Bugs, but especially Crashes!

I have manage to decipher some codes!
Would appreciate an option to examine spells when they are still.
It's a bit hard to play. With a timer and spells moving around you I'm just opting out for random action opposed to a calculated planning.
Thanks for the feedback! In the next patch I’ll make Shift pause the spell spinning animation, Doing this with the highest camera setting and the spell centered on you, should let you see most spells in their entirety still.
The game is meant to have a high skill ceiling as a roguelike, encouraging learning spells over time with random action not getting you very far. If I have time I might see if I can tweak some parameters to de-incentivize random action.
