Deep Breath by Crumpet
While going for the whole (maybe predictable) thing of fitting the whole game on one screen, I decided that I would also have the theme "Entire game in one scream", because that's a more inspiring theme to me.
Necromancers are beings whose powers over the living and the dead hold almost no limits. In fact, the only real limit is that they can only cast one spell a day.
Meet Lilith. She found a loophole. She just casts very long spells after taking a very deep breath.
Inhale deeply, enthrall the populace, challenge authority, and find out if you're a bad enough dudette to kill the President.
CONTROLS:
-WASD/Arrow keys to move
-Left click to fire
-Space to breathe
-Esc to quit
-F4 to fullscreen
-F9 to screenshot

Also, let me know in the comments, or at @benjawells on Twitter if you plan to stream, or make a video with this. I want to see you play!
The game hit some poor framerates during development at a time when I was accidentally running 15 copies of Chronolapse. If the game does lag too much for you, let me know and I'll get off my lazy butt to make a version for slower machines :) The same offer applies if someone wants to test this on a screen smaller than 1080 x 800 (do those even exist?)
