Bury the Vase by Jakub Arnold

[raw]
made by Jakub Arnold for LD 40 (COMPO)

Kill filthy humans to acquire their souls, but beware. The more you collect, the darker the world becomes.

Use LEFT CLICK to cast a spell. Be sure to do it in a timely manner. Other than that, enjoy the game!

Bonus points if you can figure out what the name means.

Did you use a harry potter font? X)
I have collected 70 souls and then I died because I haven't figured out how to move. Is that normal?

Yes, it's a similar font from DaFont :) (I asked and using fonts in compo is aparently allowed).

As for collecting the souls, there is a point when the game turns dark, at which point you can't progress further. The idea was to make a clicker game, but I only got to start on sunday afternoon, so didn't have time to do much in terms of progression.

Sorry if the lack of progress was disappointing, I mainly wanted to do a game where I didn't use any 3rd party assets and created all the art/animations/effects/sounds/music on my own :)

"Yes, the name is a pun" :D

Anyway, I wish you managed to implement some upgrade mechanics to the game which would make it harder. But I realized you have run out of time so you just had to go with what you had.

I like the graphics (the death animation is really well made) and the music + sound is also very impressive considering you made it all by yourself. The only thing that's lacking this time is the gameplay :(

I hope to see a Ludum game where you dedicate more than 10 hours into the development of it.
