Demon Soldier: menace from the outer space by comrad_gremlin

[raw]
made by comrad_gremlin for LD27 (COMPO)
You are a demon soldier who is boarding the alien ship. Sadly, you have only 10 seconds left to live.
Do your best with the given time, destroy the ship or perish.

Use drain ability to extend your stay on board and try to bring it down.

Controls are displayed on the screen, just press the corresponding button to perform the action.
Every action (except upgrading) takes 1 second.

Walking straight gives you more chances of random encounters.
Walking left gives you more chances to enter storage/recovery room.

Every action (room action or ability) requires 1 second to perform.

All abilities, except for attack, cost 1 energy.

A nice, fun little concept, and cute graphics XD
But maybe there should be a more comprehensive way of knowing how the player died, since sometimes the RIP screen just comes up without me knowing exactly why. Just my opinion.

Interesting, the upgrades are what makes it fun. Didn't really understand what drain actually did - it seems to increase the time, kill the enemy and sometimes unlock another option?

Nice concept and pretty well balanced for the mechanics it has. A larger and more polished version would have to cut back on the rng a bit.

Hey guys!

Thanks for the comments.
@blay09 - drain gives you time by draining the alien souls, but it takes energy to use it :) it also damages an enemy for 1 hp.

Room options are unlocked after the alien has been defeated.
