Orb of Recursion

The Orb of Recursion continuously spawns waves of enemies, and your job is to survive as long as possible. But the orb doesn't just spawn: it transforms existing enemies into other creatures, most friendly, some hard to fight. Can you survive long enough to make deals with the Big Man?

Made for the Acerola Game Jam 0

Controls:
WASD for movement, space to dash. The mouse is used to aim your club, which you swing with M1 (left mouse button). You can also grab enemies and small rocks with M2, and throw them with M1. ESCAPE closes the game (I ran out of time, sorry). Interact with things with Q or E.

Tips:

• The snakes can be stopped by throwing rock guardians at them (normal rocks wont work). Make sure to save some enemies from the first phase so that they can transform into rock guardians and be thrown at the snakes.
• Without any money (dropped from the first monsters), you can't get health from the Big Man, so don't save too many enemies for the second phase.
  
• The big red monsters have good aim, so take them out quickly.
• The yellow monsters won't attack you unless you get too close, but will circle around you to cut you off.
• If you're quick, you can get close to a small monster and grab them before they can attack you.

This is the first game jam I've managed to complete, and although it's not original (topdown wave games have been done to death) I'm proud of how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by and playing it!
