Somehow, I have more work to do while things are shut down than during the normal course of the week, but I will try to revisit this game and add animations when the chance arises. I am not sure how to balance working from home + schools being out, but this has been a good distraction from events and your comments are much appreciated.
You get one point for each orb you pick up, and use up one point to cast a spell.
Mercy counts the number of monsters you chose not to kill
The spells of each character to the best of my knowledge are:
elf: kill monster red blob: poisonous gas sprout: switch characters blue kirby: paralyze monster a turn butterfly: pushes monster away page with 2 eyes: ? purple thing: replace self with potted plant hydra: swap with monster mr. skipped leg day: monster reverses direction for a turn
The butterfly also heals the character you transform into. The page (?) steals an orb. Not all abilities cost 1 full orb. As you gain mercy abilities, some new things can happen and you become more and more powerful. Mercy let's you explore more stages as well.
Very intriguing game, but there needs to be some reference either in game or on your game page for the behavior of each character. Even P1 select had it's own symbolism for movement behavior.
I managed to figure out a couple of them, but it was a bit too hard to remember them in addition to tactical positioning. Great stuff!

Here is what I have figured out of the mechanics.

Thanks for the feedback. I will think on it for future versions.
