A little hard to align to dodge the diagonal shots, but I guess once you get enough big followers it doesn't matter as much since I was able to reach the cap and get ultimate power, at the price of a good portion of my followers... worth!

This game was quite fun. I was very suprised because at the beginning I was like wtf is this? The mechanic actually worked quite well. Great job.

After a few goes, I started to get the hang of this. The graphics are very charming and the frantic gameplay really brings a sense of enjoyment to the game. Great work.

A bullet-hell God game sounds like a great way to ruin one of my favorite genres, but turns out to be a really cool Ludum Dare entry, well done! :)

Fun and original!

Loved it! :smile:

This is a really fun idea! Managed to get a full board of level 3's. I had a little bit of a tough time distinguishing between the followers when it got crowded though. Maybe each level could be colored differently?

Cool game. Top 10 anime betrayals.

At first I thought WASD wasn't working "it's just moving the camera... no wait it's the island that is moving! cools!" Cool mechanic/mix of genres and really nice music going on!

I found this quite enjoyable :)

I really like this! The models and animations are very cool, loved the dancing and praying animation. Also, the music fits perfectly since the gameplay is pretty relaxed. At first, I wasn't sure about how much fun it would be, but it turned out pretty fun after all! The only downside is that it is hard to see where the bullets are going to be when they reach the platform. Got all 3's and played on for a bit but I guess there is no win-state?

Very well done!

p.s. WOLOLOOOO

Really loved playing this. At first I was scared because I believed that one shot would kill my people and played it overly careful. Then I realized that I could take a fair amount of damage. I think the difficulty might be a little easy for me but I think the ramping is fair to most people playing. You really designed the additional content and exposure well. Nice work!

Thanks for all the kind comments and feedback so far, I really appreciate it! @drtizzle: The win state is to get to 500 faith, should've probably made this more clear I think. Wololo!

I like it. :smile:

Good flow of the game. (Game is become more difficult as it progress) New ability unlocks.

It's Great & funny story.

Great pacing and progression up... until the end game, at least for me. :) An imaginative entry that taxed my mousing abilities to their fullest!

Really interesting and innovative idea. I like the goofy sound effects.

Awesome! I wish there were cynicism parameter in ratings)

Nice

The feel and timing from intro to end screen was incredible! The music was perfect for the mood, and I love the little dance the followers make. Wonderful on all counts!

dovakla 2018-05-06 18:32

It's a pretty good game! I think it would be better if you gave the player a little more space, both to move around in and also to have more time to react to bullets. I think making the camera non-orthogonal would help too, since it was sort of hard to judge where shots would be going and at what angle. I also wish that the different tiers of believers could have been more visually distinct.

Good job!

I laughed out loud the first time I heard "Whananaaa." Great nod to nostalgia right there. :) The mechanics of this are very interesting, gotta say it was a cool mashup of genres. Nicely done!

furiouswitch 2018-05-10 16:03

Hey there, as always great work. I especially loved the music and sound effects. The general mood was interesting. The animation was exceptional. The ending was very sad though :)

Congratulations!

Wololo! The worship-dance is so hilarious and adorable. The end is the best :'D "goodbya y'all". Good job dude! Maybe add some more build-up-RTS elements like buildings and resource gathering :D
