49 Days - Jam Version

This game is made for ludum dare 54.

Introduction

Taishang Laojun threw the monkey king in his alchemy furnace in hope that it will kill the indestructible monkey in 49 days.

Use arrow keys to move the monkey and help it survive 49 days as less and less space are available.

Game Mechanics

There are five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Metal counters wood, wood counters earth, earth counters water, water counters fire, and fire counters metal.

Everytime you move, The cell on your previous location will get destroyed, and depending on the direction you are moving to, all cells will try to move in the same direction and destroy at most 1 adjacent cell in that direction whose element is countered by it.

In addition, if you step on void (an empty location) or a cell that counters your element, the game is over.
