A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Created by Matthew Jung

Play as a Barbarian with a mysterious magical cannon. There wasn’t exactly a user manual when you found it in this dungeon, so you’re not entirely sure how to unleash its full potential… yet. Now the demons guarding the cannon have awoken! Experiment and build different spells to see what works (and what doesn’t!) as you defeat the demons and discover that magic is, in fact, hard.

Load the cannon by combining different spell groups, and release the spell to create a variety of effects. Progressing through each level will increase the length of the spell you can create, unlocking more spells for you to discover, starting from a spell length of 3.
