Soul Catchers by hirngespinst

[raw]
made by hirngespinst for LD29 (COMPO)
You are the Lord of Darkness and you need fresh souls. Catch the pilgrims before they reach the church and go to heaven. Unfortunately I came late to the party and basically had around 12 hours for this. So expect 0 polish and also only one level - more were planned. Hope this is some fun anyway.

nice experiment! i would skip the installer next time if you can, 'web' is usually for games that can be played online directly

Hi. Not played as web link just goes to a .exe file - should be playing in browser to be a Web link...

okay sorry, I misunderstood how the web link was meant - first LD this.
Will remove it to avoid confusion.

Hey man, why won't you share a single .exe file (not an installation) way more people including me, would like to play it~

nice job man, Liked the audio overlapping like that, nice effect. Next time you might want to compile as a pure exe, with game maker you can do that when hitting the compile button and saving it, theres a drop down menu to save it as single run executeble. That will get much more people wanting to play! :)

12 hours, first Ludum Dare, good job.
I like the idea and actually think the graphics are nice. If the letters would have been the same style as the rest I think it would have been better.

I almost didn't because I had to install. If you find a way to avoid that I think you can have more people playing.
You could change that on your game now without breaking the rules, I think.

thanks for all the feedback - I changed the installer version to a zipped one now. Did work when I tried it - please report if there are any issues.

Man the audio was creepy as hell. This was fun to play, but not sure about replayability.
