Out for Blood

A game where your health and your mana are combined!  Balance your damage and survivability and last as long as possible.

You have 4 spells at your disposal.

A blood spell that damages you but heals you more the more enemies you hit with it (try lining them up).

A water spell that wets and slows enemies.

A fire spell that burns enemies and damages them over time.

An electric spell that electrocutes enemies and periodically does chunks of damage.

Water and fire will cause a steam explosion that does big damage!  Water and electricity will electrocute the enemies and slow them down even more.  Electricity and Fire tick the enemies health down slowly over time.

Killing enough enemies will cause you to level up, upgrading your health and all spells and giving you the option to further upgrade a spell of your choice.  Be careful!  if you focus upgrading just one spell you may find its cost in blood rises higher than your health and will make it impossible to use.  Spread out your focus and use the synergies of the spells to deal damage while using the blood spell to top your health back up!

HAVE FUN and let me know what your highest score was! :)
