Doomsday Survivors by Who


Survive as long as you can as the doomsday timer counts towards zero, delay the timer by defeating rounds of enemies using collected Relics!
WASD to move. You start with a Zappo Wand! A Relic that will automatically attack nearby enemies!
Developer Notes:
Darn! I really was hoping to get 100+ items, bosses, different levels, enemy types, character classes, and literally anything else developed. Who would've thought the scope was too big!
Also yes, inspired heavily by Vampire Survivors.
Also also, game might crash around Round 20, might fix later.
4/4 - Went ahead and fixed the bug that made the game crash around round 20ish.

@paroxysmal Definitely sluggish in the beginning, gotta get those powerups! Thanks for playing!
@damnscout For sure, was hoping for at least 3-5 monsters, but barely got one in, haha. Thanks for playing!
@rhewid Yeah, Unfortunately the difficulty just scales too much that the shop items just end up costing too much and you're left with useless currency. I get what you mean. Thanks for playing!
@nate954 Thanks for the kind words and thanks for playing!
The beginning is a bit slow but after some upgrades everything gets faster and more enjoyable.
The only downside for me was the UI were I had hard time to know what is clickable from what it is not :sweat_smile:
The game is quite polished, strong entry! Good job !
Enjoyed playing it :)

* I wish it was a bit more fast paced (everything moves faster from the start)
* Having to buy time was a nice touch, and fits the jam theme well
* Nice lightning effect!
* Some basic sounds would have added a lot
* Not sure if the test relic was meant to me used, but that was just OP, once I got it the game got too easy
* Really fun to get overpowered and kill all those monsters :)
* As other mentioned, some things could be added to the game to make it less repetitive. Maybe some random map obstacles, or side objectives.
