Demonstrating one of the spells you have at your disposal; Tornado! Tornado creates a vacuum that draws enemies into the center, and damages enemies caught in the center.

The cast button can be held down to control where it will be unleashed. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

Thanks for all of your great work on the art! I still like to stop and stare it from time to time.

There's a lot more to do for the game, but I'm excited to start getting it in the hands of more players.

Help Princess Nala figure out who is inviting all of these people into her home, and get back to her peace and quiet.

A huge thanks to @getinthegustaff.bsky.social lending his talents to this project.
