(Goal : Survive 21 rounds.)

Controls
Recommend to Play with NUMPAD.
but, You can Use QWE, ASD, ZXC to Move/Attack instead.
You can check your Power, Rampage, Regen per right under the turn counter.
(We're getting feedbacks about Mouse/Touch controls.
This will be done in few days with some other updates.)

Rule of the game
- Each turn, you can make decisions and moves
- You can Move/Attack to 8-Directions. enemies also can Move/Attack to 8-Directions.
- Everytime after you make move, the Enemies will hit you if you're on danger zone.
- if your counter reaches the 0 or you lose all your health, you lose the game.
- Guard stat works as Extra health(up to 2). Some armors give you guard every round.

Notes
-  Survive 21 rounds.
-  after round 3/9/15, your health and Turn Counter will be fully restored, and you will encounter stronger enemies.
- To win the round, take advantage from Enemies with AoE.

if you're struggling with gameplay
Try to minimize your turns for each round.
figure out how weapon abilities, tanking small damages, and how does Enemy AoE works.

- The Manticore now Cast its ability to give you Barbs Status Effect. In GMTK Build, The Manticore gives you Barbs when you finish your turn straight lines in 8 directions of the Manticore.
- The Orc warrior now hits Every Units on Area with its attack. In GMTK Build, it only damages first one on the line.

known bugs
- On GMTK Build, Ironbound Convoker(The one with Yellow Cape)'s ability isn't working.
- The Manticore's Status effect deals damages when you start the round.
- The Weapon "Skullcrusher" occasionally moves you into enemies. :( we thought we fixed it.

As someone who never finished a project, last 94 hours was one of craziest days that i ever had. With a great Love towards DCSS.
