Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to play this entry! Hopefully this is a ~5 maybe ~10 minute game.
The basic story is that you're entering a jungle temple that has become a bit overrun with bad guys.
In keeping with the duality theme, everything you interact with will give you two options.
There is a 'physical' attack/defense and a 'magic' attack/defense. If you choose to attack with 'sword' you'll get a random damage amount out of your sword array and you will defend with a random amount against the monster's attack with your shield array. (Viewable in the pause/escape menu). Likewise, you can attack / defend with your magic arrays, at the cost of magic.
There's also the option to talk to the monsters and either bribe (costs gold) or charm (uses your charisma).
There are two endings depending on your reason for entering. You can lose by running out of Health.
Good luck, and thanks for delving The Tatterdemalion Temple!
PS: I finally got the windows executable to build (needed a smaller icon), and I will add that to the game page after the judging period (uploads currently disabled).
