Bloodshot

You are a dark wizard betrayed by your own soldiers. With no allies left, you turn to forbidden blood magic to slaughter the traitors. But your power comes at a cost, as each cast drains your life. Survive long enough to face the demon king, and destroy him before you bleed out.

Level up by collecting orbs from fallen enemies. Choose one of three upgrades each time: 

1. Bloodletting: Your blood magic becomes stronger
2. Magnetism: Collect orbs from further away
3. Fortune: Blood magic may not cost health points

Use the arrow keys to move around the map.

Hold Z to use your blood magic. Every use takes 1 hp from the player.

Collect hearts when they drop to restore health.

Once the player reaches level 10, the boss is summoned, and the real fight begins.
