Plight of the Skeleton Lord

In Plight of the Skeleton Lord, you take on the role of the dungeon boss, and have to fight off the many adventurers seeking to slay you for fame and fortune.  You start at full-power, but as you level up you'll find yourself becoming weaker and your foes becoming stronger. Choose which abilities you are willing to sacrifice for larger multipliers, and try to earn the highest score possible.

Plight of the Skeleton Lord was made by myself for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 and is my first ever game jam entry. The theme was 'Roles Reversed'.

Controls: WASD to move, Mouse to aim, Left Click to Fire.

Tip: The only bonus for surviving to the end is a small increase in score, so focus on stacking those multipliers.
