You Are Now The Boss

Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2023 "Roles Reversed"

You Are Now The Boss is a dungeon crawler... with a twist! You're not actually crawling a dungeon, and I lied, it's actually a card / tower defense game!

Instead of playing as the hero trying to defeat the boss and clear the dungeon, you are the Dungeon Master, tasked with stopping the force of heroes from clearing your dungeon by positioning enemies, traps and abilities in their path.

Best of luck, demon lord!
