A game that I made for Quantron.

This was a failed Ludum Dare 53 entry, now finally finished. Please read this post for why it took so long and is still broken.

Play on Itch.io | Play on Newgrounds | Original Version

How to play

Player 1 - WASD = Move/Jump - Space = Attack/Charge ranged attack - S = Command Sleeper's AI (see below) - Esc = Pause

Player 2 - Arrow keys = Move/Jump - Enter = Attack/Charge ranged attack - Down arrow = Summon soul (in World 5) - P = Pause

Players can respawn on the other player with their attack key, if the other player is not moving or attacking.

In singleplayer, Sleeper has an AI that plays the game with you instead of using the Player 2 control scheme. Press S to tell them to stop moving (however, you may find they won't always listen). Press Enter to respawn them whenever they die.

As of v1.0.2, Sleeper AI will not move while Reaper is dead unless the player tells them to by pressing S.

Reused Assets

As promised, here is a list of reused assets from my other games. - All sound effects were ripped from Reaper and a few of my other games - The theme for World 5 is a remix of Creepers (which itself is also a remix) - Other songs also have recurring motifs from other games - The player, creeper, and soul sprites are derivatives of those same sprites from Reaper - The souls' movement code was ripped from Reaper - The tome sprite is a recolored version from Lex Temporis - The ship in the ending was ripped from Dead Stars - The statues are sprites I've been working on for a while, before starting this game - The font is of course reused

Some other sprites are from previous games, like the players' ship, but are newly drawn instead of edited or recolored.

Thanks to jazz_horse for testing and feedback.
