Post-release changelog:
-Fixed a breaking bug where the game would not properly restart on second run, and somewhat reduced required energy thresholds.
-Updated the splash image to ruthlessly sell the game on the witch angle.
-Expanded the How To Play
Welcome to the magitechnical installation for Witch Activation by Interdimensional Flux (Unstable), which is definitely not just a metal box suspended by a dubious cable over a gaping, seeping wound in the very fabric of reality. Summon witches by channeling the entirely fathomable energies of the eldritch rift through the Witch Reactor. Ensure you have enough shielding to descend into the depths, and enough power to summon new witches to keep ahead of disaster or else you may explode or summon something that isn't _quite_ a witch.
Elevator Buttons - Click these to lower or raise the reactor.
Rightclick witches to look at their card.
Click/Drag witches to move them from the list to the magic circle positions or back to the list.
ATK increases power, from witches placed beside the main ring. Get this higher so you can summon witches!
DEF increases shielding, from witches placed on the main ring. Get this higher so you can go deeper!
The very central node is for the leader of your coven, who can benefit both power and shielding.
There are additional mechanics and hazards that you will discover. Be alert as you descend into the depths!

How To Play
The goal of the game is to accumulate enough Energy to summon witches within the time limit. Your energy generation rate is your Power, which is generated by the witches you already have, positioned on the Magic Circle. Witches on the outside of the circle convert T-flux to power. Witches on the inside convert Y-flux. Witches placed exactly on the circle instead strengthen your Shield, which allows you to go deeper (where there is more flux, and so more power) without overloading the reactor.Elevator Buttons - Click these to lower or raise the reactor.
