Journey through the Abyss

Journey trough the Abyss is top-down shooter in which you will try to reach the Underworld with your soul. However as you go further, you will be required to make sacrifices in order to progress. You will have to weaken your soul to make it capable of traversing further into the abyss. Are you going to do so by decreasing your vitality, or perhaps speed? The choice is up to you.

Abyss is not a safe place and you will encounter many lost souls represented by different gems. They will try to hunt you down and you need to fight them off and survive for certain amount of time. There are 4 enemy types, agressive red pentagon which will try to quickly approach you and fire burst of 3 shots, exploding orange diamond which will try to collide with you and explode dealing 2 points of damage, slow purple square which will try to keep distance from you and fire homing projectiles and finally big purple triangle which will wander aimlessly and fire 3 homing projectiles every so often. In order to win you need to survive 3 rounds.

I had barerly any time during this Ludum Dare so the game is very simple and lacking a lot of special effects and mechanics that I wanted to add in. While this was my least stressful Ludum Dare, it was also my least enjoyable one. However I'm still glad that I managed to make game in the given time frame and while I'm not completely satisfied with the result I decided to post it anyway, to not "break the streak". Please leave your opinion in the comments below if you get chance to play my game!
