Tanatomino

You are a lowly reaper tasked with keeping the spontaneous Netherworld resurrections under control. For this you have to use your tetromino-shaped scythe spells (tanatominoes :D).

• attacks cost 4 HP, one for each square (“your health is your weapon”); when you attack an empty square, you leave a heart behind
• hitting a monster gives you 3 HP, while hitting hearts returns them to you (1 HP for each)
• each monster inflicts 1 HP worth of damage for each turn it stays on the board
• monster warnings appear on the board with one turn in advance (can be cancelled by attacks!)

How many turns can you last?

Click - place tanatomino, R - rotate

Note: I’ve only managed to implement these barebones (:D) runs during the jam (pretty RNG-ish), but I suspect the underlying puzzle system could be shaped into something more engaging. I might adjust and expand it for a more coherent game post-jam. Regardless, I am glad I pushed myself to submit something to a jam after a long time of not doing it :)
