Play: The Unfortunate Necromancer 2

This week’s game is the sequel to The Unfortunate Necromancer. After raising his pet cat from the dead, our fledgling necromancer battled off the first wave of the undead army he’d (accidentally) released… but the situation remains grim as another wave of ghosts, skeletons, and liches approaches.

Fortunately, the necromancer’s master has sent along his manservant, Igor, to help this time. And, the necromancer has a chance to upgrade his skills in between the waves of fetid undeath rolling towards him.

Version 1.2:
- Gold now remains on the screen after the end of a level
- Thieves will appear to steal gold and healing potions which have been left on the ground
- Thieves cannot be killed, but they do not hurt the Necromancer — all they do is steal
- Prices in the shop have been reduced to 50/100/200/400/800
- Some levels have been made a bit easier

Version 1.1:
- A quick tweak to Igor which should (hopefully) keep him from getting stuck and / or doing the “Igor Dance”
- Just for fun, two new stats: “Most fireballs thrown (one game)” and “Total fireballs thrown (all games)”

Short-short version:
Click to shoot, press S to send Igor to collect items.

Details:
Click to shoot fireballs. Use these fireballs to destroy the undead.
Keep an eye on your blue mana bar at the top of the screen — if it is
empty you will be unable to shoot fireballs; your mana will refill over time

If a ghost reaches the necromancer in the center of the screen you will
loose one heart from the health meter at the top of the screen. If all
your hearts are lost, the game will end.

The necromancer must remain still to cast his spells, but pressing
“S” will send Igor to collect any item you’re pointing at. Collect
gold to use in the shop, and red potions to recover health.

After each level you will be allowed to purchase upgrades in the shop
using any gold you’ve collected. These upgrades can increase your damage,
improve your rate of mana recovery, add hearts to your health meter,
and improve Igor’s speed.

Complete 25 levels to win the game.
