BattleType by Sebity

[raw]
made by Sebity for LD 44 (JAM)

You take on the role of a god. Use your life force to create an army of followers, absorb the manna from their prayers, and use your followers to defeat the armies of the wicked rival gods. By destroying your rival god’s followers you stop the worship that sustains them, thereby ending their existence.

Hint: Type the words you see on the screen as quickly as you can!!

The whole "typing of the gods" idea is cool, but it doesn't feel like you have a whole lot of control over your characters - the difference between your two people isn't communicated, and it's hard to judge how much health your fighters have. Also It took me a bit to realize how exactly you're supposed to fight - it isn't entirely clear that the two people in the upper-left corner are summonable!

We are just working on fixing the bugs now, hopefully will be available soon.

Also, I will see if I can update this page and add some instructions explaining how to play the game.

Fun game. Loved the typing lane-defense genre mashup. I wanted my champions to come down specific lanes, but they seemed to appear in random lanes. Could use a little animation on the sprites.

@plexsoup Thank you so much for your feedback and I am happy you enjoyed the game. The portals follow a pattern and if you watch them, you will be able control when your fighters are summoned through them. It was by design.

Regarding the animations we did create the animated sprites, unfortunately we were unable to add them to the game as we ran out of time.

So you use your life points to spawn soldiers (Igor & Zoth) and by killing the enemies you gain life points. I tried clicking on Igor and Zoth, but I couldn't get them to spawn. Once the enemies reach the left side they turn into blue smoke, does this also decrease life points?

@mika-la-grand To gain life points you type the words that appear on the screen. Also when you play the game there is a word that says 'Summoning:' in the bottom left corner, if you type a word and get it wrong it will appear red next to the 'Summoning:', and once the enemies reach the left side it does decrease your life points.

The typing + lane defense combo was cool; i wish there was more control over the lanes Igor and Zoth spawned in. Sweet concept!
