The Three Rituals by Birchmountain

[raw]
made by Birchmountain for LD24 (COMPO)
I'm quite proud that i actually managed to finish it, and still get some sleep! Please feel free to post spells in the comments to help each other out, but please post a *SPOILER* if you post a spell that summons a demon king! *SPOILER*.

I have really tried to make the Demon kings worth the effort, so hopefully you'll enjoy them! ^^

You get health from killing enemies, forgot to mention that, and it feels quite important.

I think hosting the web build on dropbox might be messing with it. It's telling me to install the Unity web player even though I've already got it.

I've seen some other games with the dropbox problem. It doesn't work in Chrome, but I can load it in Firefox.

Works fine for me, both on my mac and in parallels desktop. I'll upload to Kongregate just to make sure though, thanks!

The floaty movement makes meaningful combat a bit difficult, but summoning things through typing is a really fun idea!

Cool concept, but really hard to control.

Good idea, but it lacks feedback. For instance how much health the opponent has. I wasn't able to get very far, evolved into a fat cat and was a sitting duck haha.

But when I evolved my max health was like 5000 but i still just had my current health. Need some form of healing option otherwise you will just bleed out in the long run.

I will have to get back to this and spend a bit more time, seems like I'm missing out a lot on the game.

Hmm, I'm not really sure what's going on - when I start the game I can't move (w,a,s,d doesn't do anything) - so I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing. Tried in Chrome and Firefox using both links.

Yeah, i was considering introducing a healthbar system for the enemies but couldn't figure out a smooth way to do it when facing multiple enemies, but i still made a health bar for the more challenging enemies ;)

And i forgot to mention that you get health from killing enemies!

It seems a bit too random to be able to do much good. I either get slow creatures or creatures without any offense.

Ooo. I love the graphical style. Very unique.. and I mean that in a good way. Music was nice too.

A bit hard to control though, felt like a space shooter in that respect.

If you were having issues with Unity -> Dropbox before, the trick is to remove the "S" from the httpS public link before sharing it.

This was an interesting concept, though I have to confess I had no idea what I was supposed to do or how to do it :/
