Welcome to NecroLooper, the death-defying inverse wave defense title made for the GMTK Game Jam 2025.
 

There are a whole host of bugs at the moment, and for that we apologise, though we hope that it's still playable. However, the controls screen never made it in, so it has been reproduced below:

  • ESCAPE to pause, flee and return to the main menu
  • WASD for overworld movement
  • SPACE for moving through cutscenes
  • 1-6 for selecting units in battle
  • Q and E for casting Mana Pull and Focusing respectively
  • SCROLL and MIDDLE CLICK to zoom and pan in battle scenes

The cutscene can be skipped via the pause menu, though it's inadvisable as we forgot to let you go back to the tutorial, and as such it's the only exposition of how the game works.

Also, there is no saving or loading sadly, so closing the game is final! We apologise to everyone who does this without realising, trust me it's the first thing we're doing after we've cleaned up all the code we wrote on Sunday

Unzip and run the .exe, because we didn't pay Microsoft $500 for a signed certificate it may trigger antivirus alerts, you can run anyways! (it's not a virus, we promise :3)

For Linux, well, if you want to run this on Linux I'm sure that you're smart enough to figure it out
