SPELLBOUND

Browser DOOM-style roguelike in a procedurally generated skyscraper.
Craft and cast spells through mobile controller and climb the leaderboard

โœจ THE HOOK: For a deeper dive, pair your phone as a live spell controller (Built for the GameDev.tv Jam theme "Connections")


๐ŸŽฎ How to play

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Phone paired (recommended for the vibe, but optional!): Paired phone becomes a spell controller — use motion, touchpad, or air-tap for casting!
  • โŒจ๏ธ No phone paired: Mouse-look on the game canvas. Hold Space and draw spell patterns on the on-screen 3ร—3 grid.

Pick Normal mode and you can save progress sitting on a toilet.
Pick Hardcore, and you will die ... alot ...
