MONSTERS:

Ghosts will wander until being provoked. When angry they will chase you and cast fireball spells in your direction.

Spiky aliens don't move much because they can't see well. If you get too close they will chase and spray fireballs at you. Watch out for their electric spell if they come too close.

Tentacle beasts have the most health of all. They spray fireballs, chase you, and swing their tentacles (don't touch).

STORY: 

You've emerged from the woods tasked with vanquishing the monsters that invaded town. Their leader has locked itself in a grove while the minions wreak havoc. You must find the hidden chest to unlock the gate to the grove. Defeat the leader so you can return to the spooky woods you were summoned from.

MECHANICS

The playing field is generated randomly each time you start anew. Each row of the grid has different probabilities for how many of each type of objects and enemies spawn.

Enemies have randomized attributes such as attack power, movement speed, and max health.

You further you progress away from the woods, enemies are more likely to be powerful and fast.

The final boss and key chest are placed in random sections of the grid, the boss along the outside and the key chest in one of the main areas.

In normal mode the playing field is an open grid. In maze mode gates are generated  throughout. Set a seed if you want to try the exact same setup multiple times (seeds can be text to make it easy to remember).

---------------------------------------------------------------

1.1: Optimizations for larger grid sizes, mouse and keyboard support, and menu bug fixes.
