Portal to Darkness by InfiniteGames

[raw]
made by InfiniteGames for LD36 (JAM)
(Instructions:
1 - Kill monsters until portals are vulnerable.
2 - Destroy the portals.
3 - Hit the boss.
4 - Repeat 1,2,3 until boss is dead -> next level.

Attacks are different for each kind of monster. Different attacks are made by different rune combination. All rune combinations are in the pause menu!! )

The Story so far…

Have you ever been caught between a war with creatures from other worlds? Step in the shoes of our protagonist, who has been looking for an ancient power for decades, and even though he can’t now remember his own name, he finally found it. The problem is… he awoken this really powerful and angry God in the process… and it brings a mythological army with him.

Your mission is to destroy every monster in the dungeon and the two portals at both sides of the room.
After that, when the God Ghomuev tries to attack you, it’s time to fight him. Hit him 3 times to complete the level and proceed to the following one.

There are several types of enemies, each one requires an unique combination of runes to defeat it. Special enemies, like tank enemies, need more than one shot.

All of our art was made for the Ludum Dare event. The art team worked really hard to be able to finish in 72 hours!

Records and many more features and improvements will be added to the game soon.

The game will be available in many platforms soon! Stay tuned!



To play in Windows systems use 1280 x 768 resolution.

You must destroy the portals in order to be able to hit once the boss -> repeat 3 times to kill the boss and go to next level!

It's an interesting idea, but the controls don't work. I click the arrows, but they flip back and forth on their own when I press the spacebar, and invariably I find myself shooting at the Cthulhu-thing instead of picking off the monsters on either side.

Nice graphics. Music fits pretty well. Interestng mechanics.

Not sure how far you can go with the runes since it can be really confusing turning setting them up for every new attack. Maybe would consider using the keyboard arrow for input.

Bug: When shooting using the space bar the runes flip and change the rune configuration.

Great art and music. The style really fits the theme.

The turning mechanics is somewhat confusing and hard to get used to - especially once under attack.
