About
Alchemical Garden is my take on a Roguelike survivors game. Slimes start pouring in as soon as you hit Play, your weapons fire on their own, you run, Grab XP, pick weapons and passives, and find the pairings that evolve your weapons. Chain lightning, throw fireballs, leave spore clouds, or orbit blades while you weave through the swarm. Bosses arrive during the run; beat the last one at 20 minutes, then stop or keep going in endless mode.
Gold carries over when you die. Spend it in the Greenhouse, try another keeper or turn on a modifier, and see if the next round goes a little further.
Controls: WASD to move. Mouse wheel to zoom. Weapons attack automatically.
This is my first game jam. I ran short on time, so there are things I’d still like to improve, but I’m happy I got the game out and joined in. It’s been great seeing all the other games submitted! If you play, please leave a review! I’d really like to know what you’d change or want in an update.
