And if you have too much mana... you may find it painful.\n\n__Stats:__ The critters mana cost, damage output, and HP are all linked. If a snake costs 8 mana to summon it starts with 8 HP and does 8 damage. As the HP is reduced, the damage output goes down with it. So if the snake is down to 3 HP then it only does 3 damage on the next hit.\n\n__Trample:__ If a critter does more than enough damage to kill another one, the excess continues on to the summoner!\n\n![screenshot.png](\/\/\/raw\/cde\/22\/z\/617d7.png)\n\n---\n### Tools\n- Engine: Godot 4.2\n- Art: Inkscape\n- SFX: Audacity\n- Music: Chrome Music Lab \n- OS: _Arch BTW_ :penguin: \n---\n### Known Issues\n- Missing a few animations: Gems popping off the stack, gems leaving the bag and repopulating the stack, etc.\n- Some error spam to console about bones that I didn't have time to fix, but shouldn't cause any problems.\n---\n\n\nThe balance is also way out of whack. :shrug: \n\nIt may be lacking a lot of polish... and some decent audio :wink: but I'm pleased with how much I got done in the time frame.","title":"Critter Duel","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/386501+386502+386503+386504+386505+386506+386507+386508+386509+386510+386511+386512+386513+386514+386515+386516+386517+386518+386519+386520+386521+386522+386523+386524+386525+386526+386527+386528+386529+386530+386531+386532+386533+386534+386535+386536+386537+386538+386539+386540+386541+386542+386543+386544+386545+386546+386547+386548+386549+386550+386551+386552+386553+386554+386555+386556+386557+386558+386559+386560+386561+386562+386563+386564+386565+386566+386567+386568+386569+386570+386571+386572+386573+386574+386575+386576+386577+386578+386579+386580+386581+386582+386583+386584+386585+386586+386587+386588+386589+386590+386591+386592+386593+386594+386595+386596+386597+386598+386599+386600+386601+386602+386603+386604+386605+386606+386607+386608+386609+386610+386611+386612+386613+386614+386615+386616+386617+386618+386619+386620+386621+386622+386623+386624+386625+386626+386627+386628+386629+386630+386631+386632+386633+386634+386635+386636+386637+386638+386639+386640+386641+386642+386643+386644+386645+386646+386647+386648+386649+386650+386651+386652+386653+386654+386655+386656+386657+386658+386659+386660+386661+386662+386663+386664+386665+386666+386667+386668+386669+386670+386671+386672+386673+386674+386675+386676+386677+386678+386679+386680+386681+386682+386683+386684+386685+386686+386687+386688+386689+386690+386691+386692+386693+386694+386695+386696+386697+386698+386699+386700+386701+386702+386703+386704+386705+386706+386707+386708+386709+386710+386711+386712+386713+386714+386715+386716+386717+386718+386719+386720+386721+386722+386723+386724+386725+386726+386727+386728+386729+386730+386731+386732+386733+386734+386735+386736+386737+386738+386739+386740+386741+386742+386743+386744+386745+386746+386747+386748+386749+386750+386751+386752+386753+386754+386755+386756+386757+386758+386759+386760+386761+386762+386763+386764+386765+386766+386767+386768+386769+386770+386771+386772+386773+386774+386775+386776+386777+386778+386779+386780+386781+386782+386783+386784+386785+386786+386787+386788+386789+386790+386791+386792+386793+386794+386795+386796+386797+386798+386799+386800+386801+386802+386803+386804+386805+386806+386807+386808+386809+386810+386811+386812+386813+386814+386815+386816+386817+386818+386819+386820+386821+386822+386823+386824+386825+386826+386827+386828+386829+386830+386831+386832+386833+386834+386835+386836+386837+386838+386839+386840+386841+386842+386843+386844+386845+386846+386847+386848+386849+386850+386851+386852+386853+386854+386855+386856+386857+386858+386859+386860+386861+386862+386863+386864+386865+386866+386867+386868+386869+386870+386871+386872+386873+386874+386875+386876+386877+386878+386879+386880+386881+386882+386883+386884+386885+386886+386887+386888+386889+386890+386891+386892+386893+386894+386895+386896+386897+386898+386899+386900+386901+386902+386903+386904+386905+386906+386907+386908+386909+386910+386911+386912+386913+386914+386915+386916+386917+386918+386919+386920+386921+386922+386923+386924+386925+386926+386927+386928+386929+386930+386931+386932+386933+386934+386935+386936+386937+386938+386939+386940+386941+386942+386943+386944+386945+386946+386947+386948+386949+386950+386951+386952+386953+386954+386955+386956+386957+386958+386959+386960+386961+386962+386963+386964+386965+386966+386967+386968+386969+386970+386971+386972+386973+386974+386975+386976+386977+386978+386979+386980+386981+386982+386983+386984+386985+386986+386987+386988+386989+386990+386991+386992+386993+386994+386995+386996+386997+386998+386999+387000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/b6\/b64c05b264ebaccdb24d37d1defdcd1ad8eae78471444eff78d524fa8f85ce98","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/95fd7de74cb7973c9ee4ffb2fd1b68848e3ba0b5a60e50206e56c6b01bb7f977.json","sha256":"b64c05b264ebaccdb24d37d1defdcd1ad8eae78471444eff78d524fa8f85ce98","source":"https","stored_at":1784022502}}
