Demonic Powers by gilborn

[raw]
made by gilborn for LD 39 (COMPO)

Startbildschirm.png

Hello,

here is my Game for LD 39.

Turned out that it got a kind of Hotline Miami clone => WASD => Move Mouse => Aim, Shoot (left click), Melee (right click).

The Programms used: Audio: - Audacity (Spoke the words at the beginning backwards and played it then reverse to get a demonic voice. Got a russian dialect instead :-)) - Muse Score for Main title - Bfxr for Sound FX.

Engine & Language: - Unity & C#

Graphics: - GIMP

Enjoy!

EDIT: Created a timelapse, if somebody is interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gdvu4gyz3sfdz38/Timelapse_LD39.mp4?dl=1

Difficult but fun! Great graphics. Next time please include a linux build, had to run in wine and that gives no sound

I really enjoyed this game.

From the ability to destroy walls to the sprites you used on the characters and map... Really good.

The only downside I saw was that maybe the level was too long, maybe I'm a bad player, but separating the main level to different levels, I think will increase the coolness of this game, but I understand this is a 48 hours game and the delivery has to be quick.
Also I've liked to see an improvement on the UI.

Anyway, this game has a real potential to be something special.

Keep Coding!

Awesome game, felt a little dirty for playing it. Had to play it 'till completion. I especially liked the skull graphics in the user interface ;)

I've never had so much fun murdering bishops!

The game was decent at first when I thought all I had was the fire breathing. Then I figured out you can punch which worked a lot better. THEN I figured out you can punch down walls and I was overjoyed! I had so much fun playing your game and it was very funny hunting down the nearest "Shame!" I could hear!

pretty fun, but i felt the "power meter" drain a little too fast.

I think this is an excellent entry to this Ludum Dare, I really enjoyed playing it, I think it looked and sounded good and I am very impressed, especially the skull graphic which counted the bishops killed. Very fun. Congratulations :)

I liked this game, although I felt that the priests noises got repetitive really quickly and just got annoying. I think the power mechanic needs to be made a bit more clear, but other than that, good job!

Cool, fun game. I like the different approach of running out of demonic powers! Nice visuals and sounds too, overall a well working game!

Difficult, but very fun. TIP: you can smash down walls!! I discovered it almost by accident, and it totally changed the game from "very hard" to just "hard" (I was usually getting lost behind buildings and there was no way to get inside in time.
Suggestion: make the power meter go drain slower!

Really nice! The "Bishop Counter" is beautiful and I absolutely loved smashing walls. Good work!

Thank you all for taking time to give some feedback, warm words and constructive critics!
It is very encouraging reading your statements, I will try to play all your games as well!
Every one of you got a +1 from my side!

@jakylgamer and @SuperCrunchy
I have to defend the velocity of power drain: I wanted to have it fast and significant, otherwise I felt the approach on the theme would have been compromised somehow. But Thank you for your feedback!

Added the linux build

The game was extremely fun and addicting i didnt like much of the grpahics or audio but the core is there with some polish and levels you got yourself a game worth buying,great job!

WOW. That was so much fun. The first time I saw the visuals, kind of disappointed me, but as I played more, I really wanted to beat the game. And I did.
I'd like to see power-ups in the game like madness mode or something, which makes you invincible for a couple of seconds.
And in my opinion, the game needs some crazy metal music.


And I'm waiting for more levels to come.

The core loop is addictive, it hooked me despite simple graphics and audio. Nice. :)

I really like this game, It's very pleasurable to kill people in it ;) and I actually very like the audio (sounds and musics) which goes well with the game ! Great job !

Great game! For a compo entry it's astounding how good your graphics and audio are! Also a very neat idea :-)
One of my favorites currently - very well done!

I was simply amazed by how fun the game turned out to be. First impression was rather negative, I didn't enjoy the graphics at first but when I got into the core of the gameplay I wasn't paying attention anymore. "Shame!" must be the funniest sound I've heard so far during this LD. I love how interactive everything is. It was a good choice to spawn player inside, as it makes it easier to discover that one can punch down walls, brilliant! After I beat the game (took me few tries, perfect difficulty) I can notice there was a lot of effort put into this entry. Good music, great gameplay, fantastic "Shame"!

This is very, very weird.

The graphics are very good. Almost look like Hotline Miami's, and that's saying something for a compo entry. The soundtrack is also very cool.

The gameplay is very fun, although I feel there needs to be some kind of feedback for attacking the Bishops. I never knew if I was hitting them, if they were dodging me or if they were blocking my attacks. It's also weird that your seemingly most powerful move that costs energy does nothing against at least 50% of the enemies.

'Shame' is without question the funniest part about the game. I don't know why, but the idea of priests chanting 'shame' to kill the devil is so weird. And it working is even weirder.

Overall this is really good. Great work.

That's a really nice entry, good job man! Interesting idea, pleasant graphics, pretty exciting atmosphere, music, good game balance. The game reminds me Diablo a bit : D Good job!

This is like game is so like Hotline and I love it so much, its also so metal \m/. My only wish is that it lasted longer and I my health wasn't ticking down constantly. I really wanted to experiment more in the world. Other than that, amazing job!

A fun entry though I feel like the energy bar should deplete a bit slower, you move a bit faster or the buildings should be a bit closer together.

This game was a lot of fun. I loved the "Shame". I felt the power drain was a bit too fast some times though. In some cases i would defeat every one around me but took a while to find someone else to kill to replenish my power. Overall awesome game, i had a lot of fun. Good Job!

After evaluation at 5, I'll go to hell!
Good game. The sound a little annoying, maybe it was worth adding Heavy metal? An excellent destructible world.

I won! wow, it was short but very hard!
Nice music, instructions are not very clear, I didnt know that you can destroy walls, I read it in the comments.
Very fun game and nice level designe. Even it the graphics are not incredible, you can feel the ambience thanks to elements that you put in the game.

Great entry! It was very difficult haha but I managed to play it well (I think). It really reminds me of hotline miami and that was great. Good job!

Great LD entry, I really had fun playing it. If I'd had to improve something, I'd try to add variations on the sound effects because they get very repetitive after a while.

Reminds me of Hotline Miami, this is a really fun game, great music and sound effects, not to mention the brilliant gameplay. Truly a fantastic entry!

For a Hotline Miami clone it's quite well done! The controls feel tight, the enemies are hard but beatable. Sound and animations are good. I don't have much to add, well done! :)
