Spirits Unleashed

Updated! Changelog at the bottom.

SPIRITS UNLEASHED A GAME BY BETELJUICE

Beatrice the Alchemist sought to create artifical life, her own homunculus, only to be hit with a snag - the process caused an explosion that freed her harvested spirits! Armed only with her shadowy homunculus, Beatrice must survive the spirits wreaking havoc in her lab!

Note: The game ends after beating 10 waves of enemies. 

Additionally, there are 10 unique elemental attacks that each have different abilities so be sure to experiment freely.

Post-Game-Jam release Changelog:

- Added ambient music!

- Added a progression system to make the game more interesting via upgrading health OR damage

- Added a tooltip feature that will describe the resulting combined element and what it does

- Adjusted and tuned several player attacks

- Fixed several annoying bugs regarding enemies

Overall it's still pretty easy but:

1. It's nice to have the player be able to see *every* element and possible combination in a demo format like this.

2. The demo should be beatable! This is a showcase of the potential gameplay.

I wanted to add the cut enemies and change up the elements players have access to in the post game jam version, but it's probably better to leave this as close to the game jam version as possible here.

I'd like to take this project and make a full game out of it instead :)
