Fever Pitch

A short top-down roguelike made for the Playgama AFK Summer Jam using Theme #6: Beat the Heat

The mirage warden has stranded you, the legendary swordsman, in the vast Sadarican desert. Survive the brutal heat of the desert and waves of vicious enemies to enact vengeance upon the warden at the heart of the desert. Be careful, though, the magical heat may drive you to see flickering, wavering mirages: technically harmless, but an astute hero should best learn to tell them apart. Still, the twelve blessings of the desert may let you turn the heat to your advantage. Choose carefully...

Notes to Players:

The check behind you blessing kinda sucks and wasn't balanced in time for the submission, so don't pick it :p
