when you make the main character run around, he really exerts himself... you should let him go at his own pace unless you gotta get somewhere quick.

giving gwendolyn the levitate spell makes her knight a lot more dangerous but she still keeps cornering herself

the further down you go in the wellkeeper's well, the more difficult the battle layout becomes... a lot of these end up being fairly interesting puzzles

the wellkeeper is one of the last few characters im making for checkmage. he spends his time drawing faces on cardboard and pretending to have friends.
his battles are all randomly generated and its kind of a lategame way to get cards and experiment with weird pieces

this is the earliest video of checkmage i have i think. the sprites have stayed the same this entire time
