The Arcane Counter
This game was made for GMTK Jam 2023, which had the theme "Roles Reversed". Unfortunately we were not able to finish it in time and there are still some bugs lurking in the shadows! Nevertheless, we had a bunch of fun and learned a bunch.
This is what the game wants to be when it is all grown up:
You play the NPC (non player character) villain of a dungeon crawler RPG! But you are also the shopkeeper who is selling equipment to the players. This puts you in the unique position to send just enough monsters towards the player group to have them use up all their items, but without killing them! This way you can profit from them again and again.

Game does not start. It says: "indirect call to null"
sorry to hear that! maybe try the Windows build if you want/can.
Loading bar fills most of the way, then I get a "null function or function signature mismatch" error message on Chrome.
Kind of worked in an incognito tab, but after a party survived the dungeon it softlocked and I was unable to continue.
yep, unfortunately there are still some bugs in there. i hope you had fun still
The art looks fantastic! Also the subtle parallax when scrolling between screens is a great choice. 48h is a very short time - you did pretty well within this limitation. The skeletons were too OP in my battles - they wiped all my customers ;-)
hey, thanks for the feedback! balancing is a bit off still, the skeleton is not even the strongest enemy xD
