You're a shape-shifting magician from the land of Shiftopia. Your job? Navigate through the shape-shifting, labyrinthine dungeons to reach the end and ensure the legacy of the ancient magicians for the next generation. Don't get ambushed by the threats found in the dungeons though - use your magic to fend them off!

It's WASD to move around. Hop into a portal to travel to a dungeon.

In dungeons, press the left mouse button to shoot magic at enemies.Certain powerups have certain properties too:

- The axe is a melee weapon which deals huge damage and buffs your defense.

- The slime lets you shoot sludge balls to slow down and poison enemies.

Note 1: The slime is currently buggy, and doesn't really work. I'll be fixing it soon (read note 2!).

Note 2: The competition entry has a horrible bug that means you get stuck in the first dungeon's treasure room. I'll be fixing that shortly, but I'll leave the original, buggy version up for people to rate.

There is a postcomp version that adds a couple new features and fixes a few bugs (the slime is still broken, but the game doesn't get stuck on the first dungeon now), although not everything I wanted in the compo entry is there yet. Feel free to try out the post-comp version, but please rate the compo entry!
