Savior: Saver of Souls by John Drury
Welcome to my best project to date!
Savior: Saver of Souls, is an Endless Arcade Action-Platformer. It features multiple powerups, outrageously fiery hazards and a leader board!
A small village is set ablaze and the inhabitants are running around frantically for their lives. You come from a parallel plane of to transfer the souls of the villagers to safety! Armed with your cosmic blaster, you will release the villagers suffering poor souls into a new world of freedom.
Tips--
+ Focus on SAVING SOULS to achieve SUPPLY DROPS
+ Utilize SUPPLY DROPS when your current POWER UPS expire
+ Effectively wrap around the screen to avoid HAZARDS and SAVE SOULS
+ Utilize DROP-THROUGH and AIR-JUMP to reach POWER UPS floating above LAVA
+ Destroy BIG ROCKS to have a chance in obtaining a POWER UP
+ VILLAGERS may be used to block ROCKS
+ Utilize the shield to run through HAZARDS to escape sticky situations
Please provide feedback and suggestions on how to improve this game!
Thank you for your time and ENJOY! :3

Loved the graphics, sound/music and gameplay :)
Thanks for rating and commenting! It's nice to hear everyone is enjoying it. I have wiped the leader boards so enjoy :3
Really brilliant entry.
I loved that the game was about rescuing people by shooting them in the face! Made for such a great experience.
Great concept and a real joy to play through. You should definately take it further!
I look forward to spending more time with this after I try play the remaining 2487 LD30 entries I haven't got to yet.
It most definitely has a "one more go factor". I died lots, but kept coming back. It's reminiscent of Super Crate Box whilst being very different. I love the powerups, and it's incredibly polished.
Cracking good game!
Amazing game.
Good:
+ Furious gameplay (and fun)
+ Upgrades that really change game experience
+ A leaderboard in a 48 hours game. How cool is that?
Bad:
- Loose theme connection
You created a likeable visual style and the sound effects work perfectly!
Going back to play more!
As for improvements, just make the controls tighter maybe. Also, I kind of dislike that when you go off to one side you appear in the other. It is rather confusing, but that's just a personal preference.
P.S. I think you need to share your source code too for the 48h compo.
It's now up, along side a windows and mac client version for your pleasure! :D
the "save souls by shooting them" is a bit of a stretch to fit the theme but loads of fun all the same
gameplay bug
Position too the right or left side of the screen and shoot you observe that you shot in all direction and never lose
I agree with others that the connection to the theme is a little lose, but I've got no other criticisms - this is great!
