DIABLOW: Savior of the Damped by SubtlyDramatic

My first individual game jam game!
Keep the Demon race alive by rescuing them and bringing them to the portal! Can use either WASD or Arrow Keys to move :) I'd recommend using the FullScreen option in the bottom right corner.

the sound effects are a bit loud and like dianacalistru said i'm a bit sad that its just over after you beat the level.
I am a sucker for a good pun, and as such I love the idea of a blowfish named diablow being sieged by angelfish. :)
10/10
PS: I see this is your first game jam. Congratulations to you for this achievement!
It would have been nice to add a few more levels.
I advice you for the next time to check in places like opengameart, itch.io for graphics and check that the result is not a mix of styles!
In the sound side, I like the background loop it's catchy! However the volume of the sound when you are caught ruins the game experience.
I advice you to make a "pre-release" before submitting and share with friends and family, they would catch these little mistakes before submitting.
Overall good job!
Great choice of music, mad props if you also did it during the jam. I liked the spritework as well, and both controls and difficulty were just right.
As people said, sounds are a bit jarring. It's usually a good idea to allocate time and give game for playtesting during the jam - that feedback really helps to identify the main problems.
But hey. Director decisions are director decisions =)
fitting username btw.
Overall, it's just a crazy collage which makes me feel like it's an LSD trip (not that I know lol). But hey, it plays well and works! Good job on finishing dood :)
Regardless, I really dig the artstyle you went for. The gameplay itself is simple, yet fun. :)
Overall, I enjoyed it very much. A cute, enjoyable take on the theme. I would have loved to see more levels but time is a b*tch in jams.
