Gloomsday

Gloomsday is a dark roguelite action-platformer where the mana is literally in the air. Survive the ever-shifting halls of Colwell Academy by spending its precious mana wisely. Your enemies will.

THE WORLD IS YOUR MANA BAR

There are no mana bars here. Charge your spells from the mana hanging in the air. Casting drains the region around you; stay still and the world greys out, your spells die, and then you die. But it recovers, slowly. Enemies cast from the same field, so every fight is also a fight over ground: bleed a caster's corner dry, or watch him do it to you.

BUILD YOUR WIZARD

Fourteen spells and counting: beams you charge, heals you channel, fire you wear, summons that fight beside you. Layer on the glyphs, enchantments, and pacts you find along the way. Train your meager thief skills into real mobility. Thousands of combinations, and every build comes out different: glass cannon, tanky summoner, invisible assassin.

WEAVE AGILITY AND SPELLS

Standing still is how casters die. Movement feeds everything here: repositioning keeps your mana flowing, a double jump refunds spell charge, and tight platforming is how you line up the perfect cast. Find your own rhythm — move, cast, move — and turn the room's hazards against your enemies.

COLORFUL CAST

Mora has a plan. "Hat", the hat that talks, has... suggestions. And of the horrors in the academy's depths, some are beginning to remember Gary's name. Triumph or die, friends and enemies alike will have things to say.
