A downloadable name

True names have power. The resonances of a name with the words around it define the shape and abilities of ones being.

Game of the Name is an auto-battler where you summon forth creatures to fight an eldritch entity. The names of these creatures are systematically connected to their stats and abilities. For example "walter" has an elemental affinity with "water".

Each creature has two abilities that can be combined with the abilities of up to 4 other teammates to create countless combinations.

Controls:

Use the arrow keys to or click on the circles to select which circle to summon in.

Number keys 123 for 1x, 2x, and 4x playback speed, respectively
