We decided to create a top-down zap 'em up. Making this project during the weekend was a lot of fun.
You play as a pagan deity, capable of bringing down lightning from the sky. You are being worshipped by a local village. The village has been suffering from famine and disease lately and to make things worse, a HORDE OF MONSTERS is besieging it!
It’s up to you to protect the only reason you exist- the villagers, your followers. Without their prayers, you will perish.
Find out how many monsters you can zap with your lightning and how many waves you’ll survive.
Prod your worshipers to pray faster, increasing your damage multiplier. You can even sacrifice a villager for an extra damage boost!
But remember: every villager generates a small amount of mana. When you or the monsters kill too many, you will run out of juice.

**Gameplay**
Solid. i liked the idea of smiting your own people to raise your damage. Energy consumption is key here and was nicely implemented.
**Ambiance**
There is no music but the audio ambiance was cool, and killing mosters felt very satisfying. Was that a random-pitched version of the Wilhelm scream? :p
I wanted to be able to use the camera more after seing the intro.
