Tomb of the Puzzler

This game was created for Retrograde Jam 4.

Introduction

After days of travel, you've finally made it to the Tomb of the Puzzler.

Legends are told of an impossibly valuable treasure found at the bottom of the crypt, but these rumors are difficult to prove — before he passed away, the Puzzler filled his tomb with countless patrolling monsters and guards, ready to stop anyone who tries to take his gold. Other adventurers within the tomb will also provide tough competition.

Making matters worse is that, in the Tomb, a curse is laid upon all who enter: before they can act, they must arrange mysterious tiles found on the floor, building up magical energy to empower a strike or a spell.

Only those strong of sword, quick of wit, and able to decipher the puzzles and slay the monsters within will discover the truth of what lies at the bottom...

Gameplay

Explore the Puzzler's tomb, fighting off monsters and looking for treasure. In battle, select an attack and a target, then match the blocks the fall from the top of the screen to charge up and attack. Defeat all the enemies in battle before they beat you!

Search the levels, solving the puzzles before you. You'll need every last potion and consumable item you can find to stand a chance.

Controls

This game has configurable controls. The defaults are arrow keys to move, X to select, Z to cancel, and Enter to open your pause menu outside of battle. You can find more information in the comments.
