Tumulus (r22) (A2600 Game)

In Tumulus by yllawwally you are an adventurer, out to stop the fiends coming from Tumulus. This game is inspired by Golden Axe.

Release notes:

It took just shy of an hour. But I think I finally got the will o wisp breaking into 2 creatures fixed. It was related to the RNG. I was using 0 based RNGs, and 1 based lane numbers.
