- If the music isn't working, set it off and on and change the volume.

- Game is set to easy mode to help game jam reviewers quickly assess the game.  So, there's no levelling up or recruiting characters to your team.  You start at a higher level with 3 characters instead of building up to there.  You're thrown straight into the action.

- The game was inspired by Vampire Survivors, Left 4 Dead, Dwarves Glory Death and Loot, and Plants vs Zombies.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

- One of the criticisms of real time auto battlers is that there isn't much for the player to do.  So, I added the ability to move the players and select from a variety of powers.  Players are incentivised to move to acquire items dropped by enemies.  

- The game also goes easy on characters dying.  In the XCOM series, players often complain about a well crafted and upgraded character getting killed off in a mission.  Dwarves Glory Death and Loot was also heavily criticised for that.  So, in my game, characters come back if a battle wasn't lost.

You can get a rough idea of the main game loop in just 5 minutes.  A full run roughly takes around 30 minutes.
