HellWard

HellWard

HellWard is my entry for the Ludum Dare #55 which has for theme : Summoning.

Pitch

Step into the role of a divine ambassador, tasked with defending against a wicked ritual that threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Confronted by a towering pentacle and an perfidious necromancer, you stand your ground knowing that the end draws near. With only the holy light within you to rely on, brace yourself for relentless waves of monstrous foes sent by the necromancer. How long can you withstand the onslaught and protect the realm from ultimate doom? Prepare for a survival-defense experience where your faith and resilience will be put to the ultimate test.

How To Play

Use the mouse to move the shield (only horizontal movement matters). When the manabar is full, press space to unleash the Holy Mantle!

The team

Me.

When starting this jam, I wanted to compete in the Compo. Unfortunatly, I am not able to produce (good enough!) art and music for games I enjoy doing and am proud showcasing to others so I didn't opt for the Compo. Though, I still decided to work alone, and to only work within 48h (In fact, I worked for ~20h) on this project as a challenge.
