The Deep Inferno by neonian
A prime evil lurks deep beneath the earth. Your army of holy crusaders is sent to battle and you must guide their journey.
Reach the boss at the bottom of the infernal depths and eradicate it. Your army fights automatically, but you control their direction and on upgrades.
Have fun!

I liked that I had the choice to make it more interactive as some people do like just to watch and others like to interact with the fight.
Cool entry!
Also final boss was way too easy, he attack me like 2 times before dying. But I think if you decide to develop it further it would become a really nice game.
Pretty easy to win, anyway cool art style, atmosphere and concept!
presentation is spot on, neat animations and detailed backgrounds with a solid color scheme. are the graphics original or stock?
It is still a nice concept and an overall good entry :wink:
I think a few more gameplay elements (where you actually play) would be nice additions, and with more impact than the current ones.
Otherwise, great base for a follow-up !
some notes:
the divine blessing is a bit broken I guess when I got it I was able to destroy all the projectiles of the demons and the game felt easy with it so maybe limit it to one level only and not forever.
also I think I broke the game lol and I don't know why but the last boss in my second try didn't take any damage.

But I really liked your game!

I think it was a good idea to randomize most of the choices you have at campsites, but always keep the "hire a unit" option. Keeps things fresh. I love how all the spear guys throw in unison when you get a couple speed upgrades going, really helps sell the "me and THIS army" feeling.
Probably not relevant for a jam game, but fyi I played this on a 1920x1200 resolution monitor, and the edges are a little cropped (could only see 1 pixel of the r in "choose you(r) path").
I also got the "last boss not taking damage" issue; I had multiple accuracy upgrades, maybe the spears weren't aiming at the right spot? I dunno.
This is a super solid entry, nice work!
