Mana Wanderers

Mana Wanderers is a small game for Boss Rush Jam 2024, the main theme of which turned out to be Exchange.

The game is optimized for 1280x720 resolution and, unfortunately, may not display correctly in other windows.

Concept

The main gameplay is 2D side-view turn-based boss fights, in the Final Fantasy X style of combat.  This is a party tactics game where every character is important.

Theme

For us "exchange", it is a part of the game mechanic. The entire gameplay is built around the concept of three colors of mana and a global mana pool shared by all characters.

Speaking of them, all playable characters have skills that can accumulate, spend, or change mana. In fact mana is the main resource on which the tactical capabilities of your squad depend. And having lost one of the characters, you lose not only his capabilities, but also part of the mana pool that he provided.

Controls
