A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Game made for the Godot Wild Jam #61 - made in 9 days

Theme: Ascension
Wildcards:
- Naturalist - Control the environment instead of a character
- Diplomatic - Achieve goals without killing
- Icarus - Have a great power that can lead to doom

For help spoilers, check bottom of the page.

Fixes after the jam: music wasn't looping, now it is, and hints added for how much mana each button needs.

--------




In Overthrow, you don't see yourself. Instead, you see your enemy, who is trying to find his way to climb the hills and get to your castle.

Watching from your crystal ball, use your spells to try to make him give up out of frustration.









SPOILERS BELOW - in case you're finding it difficult to cause him to give up

He will panic and use a return scroll in a number of situations, the most common being:
- Has to go through a path but it's blocked, and jumps won't get him through and there is nowhere else to go (there are known bugs in this)
- Stuck on a loop, walking in circles


The easiest way to cause him to panic is trap him somewhere.

Very interesting on a technical level, I'm impressed you got this done in 9 days. Soundtrack was good. It was a little hard to aim the spells. It was a lot of fun to mess with the AI. Good use of the wildcards. Well done!

Thanks for playing!
