You play as a nameless mage who has sacrificed his life to the devil for power. He must adapt to his newfound powers to traverse a dungeon that only has one floor for some reason.

The only true currency here is health. Casting a spell means wagering a portion of you health bar to the devil(the blue part of the bar in the gif). You'll need to keep your wager by dodging the incoming enemy attacks. Get hit once and you'll lose all of the HP you've wagered.

To keep things fair, the devil has thrown in a special artifact, a lifegem. This rare gem will slowly restore your Health and even bring you back to life a couple of times too. But don't rely on it too much.

There are also powerups to keep things fun. Every powerup will decrease your max HP. So pick and choose the ones you like best.

Controls:

*WASD* to move.

*Left click* to melee attack.(Hold to charge)

*Right click* to cast spells.

*Left Shift* to dash (Once dash is unlocked)

The art for the game was done by Cardwise

The explosion asset was made by Sinestesia from OGA

I handled all of the code.

NOTE: In the older version there is bug that spawns enemies outside of the room and thus blocks your progress. you can try the fixed version(which has minimal changes outside of a small fix) or try to attack the enemies outside of the room with ranged attacks.
