Reaper Blob

Shoot at at foes to weaken them, then dash into them to absorb them. Gain experience, level up, and become an unstoppable slime god. There's an NPC somewhere who'll tell you why you're doing all this, but, let's be honest here, does it really matter?

Generally speaking, your goal is to keep moving north to reach the boss at the top of the map. (The map is the image just to the right.)

Controls:

• LEFT CLICK - attack
• SPACE - dash
• WASD/ARROWS - move
• ESCAPE/TAB - stat menu and inventory
• NUMBER KEYS/RIGHT CLICK - abilities (as you unlock them)

Stats:

• STRENGTH - projectile power
• DEXTERITY - dash power and post-kill invincibility duration
• AGILITY - movement speed
• INTELLIGENCE - experience gain
• CONSTITUTION - maximum health

Unlockable abilities:

• RING: Create a rotating ring of projectiles around yourself. The projectiles in the ring block normal enemy projectiles and damage enemies they come into contact with.
• DECOY: Drop a decoy at your current location. Normal enemies will target it instead of you for as long as it lasts.
• STUN BOLT: Fire a slow-moving bolt that stuns the first enemy it connects with, leaving that enemy vulnerable to a dash-kill regardless of its current HP. You can shoot the stun bolt with a regular projectile to detonate it early, stunning all enemies in a small area around the detonation.

(There are several tiles in the map that don't match with their surroundings. This is a bug and we're not quite sure how to fix it. It's just a visual bug, though, with no effect on gameplay, so aside from being a bit jarring to look at you should be able to safely ignore them.)
