Power Word: Quest

Description:

Made for the 2024 Pirate Software Game Jam. Power Word: Quest is a dungeon crawling puzzle game where you, the bardliest of bards, use the power of language to interact with the environment in novel ways.

Note: I had to reupload the game, because sleep deprivation made me think something was wrong with the original file, and it was just past the game jam deadline. There were no changes in the versions, but I understand if that disqualifies the game from being judged in the Game Jam.

Controls:

Interact with items by clicking the Left Mouse Button. 

You can ready a spell by holding the Right Mouse Button and then click the Left Mouse Button.

Use the number keys to swap spells.

Spell Descriptions:

Absorb lets you absorb the essence of an interactable item.  Typically these will glow red when highlighted.

Place allows you create a copy of the absorbed object at the mouse location. This can be used to trigger floor switches or place energy into power pylons.

Missile launches the absorbed item as a projectile in the direction of the mouse cursor. This can be used to activate remote levers or to fight enemies.
