Psiral - Javascript/HTML5 game

.o0 Psiral 0o.

HTML5/Javascript web browser game. GitHub game-off-2013 challenge entry.

What we want to do here is to create a turn based strategy game in which four wizards battle to reach the fountain of endless energy.This, of course, will bring them eternity and power beyond human imagination. Each wizard controls the powers of one of the four known elements - earth, water, fire and wood… uhm, I mean air. So, which one will get there first? Choose and find out.

Q: What does this have to do with the "change" theme?

A: Well, tiles change when you cast spells on them, so I hope this one counts. :))

To be continued ...

We couldn't really finish this game in time. Four weeks were (as expected) not enough to complete Psiral. We do, howerver, plan to continue working on this title after Game-Off 2013. We have on our TODO list more graphics and animations to add, improved AI with learning capabilities, improvements in spells and game balance, add coop. and network play and much more. So, stick around if you're interested in the Psiral saga.

See you soon! ;)
