Flockin' Demons by Bewelge
Use your mouse to move your necromancer. Find Pentagrams to summon minions to help you fight off enemies. The minions will flock around you. Hold down the left mouse button to make them swarm the nearest enemy.

Only started with this today and created it entirely in a 10 hour run with a small break to eat, so it's a little rough around the edges. Still quite happy with the result considering the short time frame.
Will add more info tomorrow. Too tired now :)

it overall felt very polished with a great atmosphere.
some more complexity could be added to the gameplay loop but besides that very solid submission!
Really nice game given the time you had!
@meepster Thanks! I agree on the complexity. Just had to keep it simple in the short time frame. I do wish I'd had time to implement some power-ups though :)
@impalpable @dzejpi Thank you! Really happy you liked the sounds and atmosphere. I'm not good at picking sounds so that aspect is always a bit lucky for me
@owtuvammo @sstyles93 Thank you!! :)
@denvil Oh right, I believe Firefox gets really slow when you mix WebGL and 2d-Canvas. Happy that you got it working fine in Chrome though!
@xeltide The minions sometimes bug out and will insta-kill / insta-die when they hit an enemy. The best strategy I found while testing was making the enemies follow you with your minions behind the enemies and then quickly circle back behind your minions. The enemies have a tighter turning radius so they will then collide into your minions.
Could you help me out on finding a better strategy? :sweat_smile: Thanks in advance, cheers! :)
Good Job
