Wayward by KingMatthew
As the deliverer of souls, you must protect your most recent catch. The purgatory monsters want to take it into their realm so they have at least someone to talk to. You must give safe passage to this soul, whether it be to heaven, or hell.
How to Play -
You are invulnerable. You already died, no need to worry about dying again. The soul that is tethered too you is vulnerable and will be attacked. Defend it by throwing your scythe at them! Every enemy can be killed(even the portals). On the right side of every screen is a red door that will be removed once the current waves of enemies are killed.
Movement - WASD, Spacebar
Throw Scythe - L + Direction,
Restart - P
Quit - Esc

To Install - Unzip the file and keep all files in the same directory! It will not run if you only extract the .exe for example. I am not sure why unity insists on having the other files. Sorry.
Known Issues-
There might be a time where the hand will grab your spirit and go off-screen
The screen might advance too many times, requiring a restart
Opinion Piece: Another Ludum Dare under the belt! I had tons of fun making this. Almost no hitches or major bugs to keep me up at night. Next Ludum Dare I won't make an action game like this. Too hard to make movement and fighting fluid.

I will say though that the hand and portal enemies felt unresponsive when damaging them compared to the other one. If I didn't read it in the instructions, I wouldn't have known you can hurt them.
Really cool overall!
The scythe attack was cool, but I found the controls a bit awkward.
