Played the game.
Some of the controls are wonky. The Up key causes you to go all of the way to the top and then continues to circle. It's really jarring when you're attempting to move from the bottom to the middle.
Also, some of the images are a little confusing. It took me a while to realize that the whip (Scourge?) was a grace item.
Thanks for your feedback, uprightpath. Actually, you can play the game with any key except ESC. I wanted to make a game that was easier to play with disabilities. Maybe I should make it go back down as soon as you hit the top. I am open to feedback on how to improve the controls without making them too complicated.
As for the whip, I was having fun with that item. The idea is that some Catholic orders believe that they should scourge their flesh if they are faced with temptation. Do you have any ideas on how I can make this meaning clearer? One of my goals was to not use color to communicate vital information due to people having visual disorders, such as color blindness,
Felt kind of weird, with the controls as they were. Messed me up a little. Also I know almost nothing of religion so I didn't really know what I was doing at first. Graphics are decent, and the sound effects are alright. Gameplay is not really that interesting however.
Didn't want to do the whole installer thing, so its a good thing I have GM:S or I'd have not played it. I suggest compiling as a standalone executable next time.
"Repoenitere is a game where you must quickly make decisions about the choices that you are going to make in life. Will your choices send you to Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory? That is for you to decide." Cool theme! :D
Good job!
