It's a pretty cool concept. I like your take on the "Sacrifice is necessary" theme. The only issue is that this game has a lot of glitches. The well didn't work, in fact, it made me stuck in place and I kept getting hit by the boss thing. And you say "With enough gems." How many gems? No matter how many I had, it didn't seem to work at all.
This is a nice little clicker-type game, and I enjoyed some of the bullethell aspects that the big enemies introduced. Wasn't totally sure how this fit into the theme, and the generator didn't seem to do anything -- also, I got several pretty bad framerate drops on a GTX 970M -- not sure what might have been causing that. Overall congrats for submitting something finished!
Hey guys, (@mightymaster99 and @numeralien) thanks for the feedback. It means a lot :) As for the generator, it should only require 5 gems where you can then stand next to it and press space. It does take a while for the follower to spawn, however it is pretty obvious when it is working. It may have been something to do with what I changed last minute. I never knew about the well though, thanks for the heads up! I'm running and testing on a pretty crappy computer right now, sorry to hear about that though. Some optimization is definitely due if I'm to continue in the future.
