Bound by Soul by Chili Turtle

[raw]
made by Chili Turtle for LD 44 (COMPO)

You are in purgatory, the only way out is to collect souls. You can channel your soul to fire soul shards.

Controlles: wasd keys = move left mb = shoot 1, 2, 3 Key = change shards (bullets)

The first shard goes threw eniemies, but is weak. The second shard hits like a truck and the third shard is slow, but explodes. You shard is also your hp, if you have not shard left you die in one hit

Music: background music was made with an rusty old sheet puncher (I reversed the sound) and a Piano in Fl studio​

bugfix when shooting enemie with 2nd weapon game freezes

There's a strange atmosphere in this game, i like the mood. Good job!

Playing on a french keyboard I don't have WASD keys but ZQSD, making it difficult to play.

I like the ape's out vibe in the way you get surprised by the enemies ... thought it would be easy because enemies stop when you target, but it seems I died quite a lot lol

game sound is completely bad programming is good graphics are normal. Improve sound effect and add background sound.

Visually it looks pretty cool, sounds are fun. Was I supposed to die if I use up all the shards? That would fit the theme better.

It's pretty basic. Not a lot to say about it, would have been slightly better with a final boss.

quite interesting little game, i think it could become something cool if you invest more time into it
and why time stops when character casting his spell?

Interesting take on the twinstick shooter - world freeze when shooting is a bit weird (not sure if its a bug or intentional, as it was on all weapons for me not just the second one) and makes things a little easy.

The LoS visualisation is very subtle, but a nice effect.

Was slightly disapointed I didn't get the boss fight I was expecting at the end... but hey, compo entry, I know how these things go, I figure the abrupt end was that contest deadline hitting.

@korteh @mrnyarlathotep first the freez was a bug, but because of time constrains and I thought it gives spells weight, power its a feature now

@chili-turtle now it just pauses the game, you can add weight to casting by freezing only player

@chili-turtle The different projectiles were fun when I got them to work. Sometimes I would just get one-shotted and it would be frustrating, but nice work, especially for 48 hours!!

*Besssooooweesshooooosh*

I just kinda uhhhh... walked around all the enemies. I also didn't find use for more than one weapon when you can round them all up and fire one bullet to kill (most) enemies right in a row. Otherwise good job!

this is a nice small game. I would have liked some music though.
