Mowing down hordes of demons - what more can you ask for? Also, sacrificing your priests fits theme nicely. Good job!

Cute graphics!
It's addictive man, played it for like 20 mins!
Wow!! I really like hear that. Thanks all for the feedback.
Very innovative and a great match for the theme :)
Yap! I like the music! Where are the credits?
Hi, very nice game and really addictive, i'm still playing it. Also, it fits the theme perfectly. 5 Stars!
@probe2 I updated the description with the song of the game.
Cool game! Played a lot ahahaha, congratz!
Great Job!
A lot of fun.
Very fun. Great work!
This was a ton of fun! Like @tosunami, I ended up playing for like 20 minutes. The music was also incredibly jamming! Props to your composer!
My only gripe is that it was too easy, so it got a bit repetitive after awhile - Even after 14000+ points, the only way that I was able to die was if I spammed my sacrifice abilities constantly, and even then, it took quite a bit of time to lose all my lives.
A very fun game ! I'm impressed that you've done pretty everything alone ! It was a really cool idea to, the sacrifice theme is well implemented.
Good work, got to 2000 points before I got bored, it should have been more challenging. Good take on the theme and the music is nice, I like the art on the special attacks.
@ild-games-llc @oakenman @digitaldude555 Thanks for the feedback!! For the next update i will try to make it more difficult!!
I ended up playing way more than I'd like to admit. It was really fun, with some polishing it could go a long way in my opinion :)

What a game! Everything was good - gameplay, graphics, concept, theme.
The concept kinda reminds me old game called "Handkerchief" where you also picked up soldiers who then followed you. Great job!
Very fun little game! I like the art a lot. Maybe you should reduce the shield time after you lost a priest, cause I could just walk around brainless, walking through the monsters, got shield, collected another priest, got shield, collected another priest...and so on. But other than that it is awesome :smile:
Neat little arcade style game. It was funny seeing so many of the priests get stacked up behind me the farther I went along. While it was fun and wasn't overly difficult, I do wish that there were just a little more going on. Maybe one other powerup or being able to shoot faster. Overall, I really liked it! Good work.
I liked the concpet, but it bugged out on me a few times, where i couldnt effect the input, and my character got stuck.
The idea of sacrificing yourself was pretty cool though!
I was playing it for ages, mowing down demons and then eventually realized nothing happened when the demons got me... they just wanted to party, and it turns out I was the monster all along!

This is a fairly nice little game, could use some balancing, the melee character feels pretty bad with his limited range and attack speed while the priest with the god beam feels really OP since you can just shift the beam back and forth to hit things really fast. Also the protective bubble lasts longer than a new character spawns meaning you could go forever if you wanted to as long as you do not use the special. On the other hand was pretty fun for the time I played it and fits the theme pretty neatly, also cute graphics
Very fun game to play, nice implementation. i just think that as you progress levels/enemies should be harder to kill. or they go for your people too instead of just you :)
Had a lot of fun playing it, it's good that there are so many characters to save since you can keep spamming spells and it makes it more addictive. Good game, played it for a long while :)
An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

Hey, nice game, I liked it right away because I knew directly what to do, no introduction or help screen necessary. Shoot all the daemons and gather a snake of popes, great!
At one point I realized that I was getting attacked by a thousand daemons, glowing yellow all the time, but not dying. So I went into the center of the screen and held the mouse button down. I did not die, the score went up slowly. I randomly scrolled down to see what else is on the page and there were the instructions. Only now did I realize that I could press Space, so I did and my guy turned into a large circle, curshing all those bad guys. That was fun, I was just confused that my weapon always changed after the Space attack.
After a while I noticed that my popes disappeared when I used Space. That is a nice gimmick but I can always go back to my initial strategy of gathering popes and shooting without dying. Why is it that I can glow yellow for so long without dying?
I took this screenshot half-way through, before figuring out the Space key. One thing that I liked about the game from the start was the score up top. These arcady games with a highscore always get me to want to get that number up, I fall for this every time. That is why I left your game feeling angry rather than satisfied. At the end when I finally wasted all my popes and died to the herds of daemons, I wanted to see what I got to put my highscore here in the comments and see what others get. The whole point of having a highscore to me is to compete with others. But of course, once I died, it just started a new game after a second, I had no chance to even read the highscore, let alone take a screenshot. That to me is a no-go, if you can I would really urge you to put in a menu or personal highscore text in the corner or something like that. I do not want to re-play the game without knowing whether I succeeded in beating my previous score or not.
Anyway, aside from the score thing that bugs me, this is still a very cool little game. As I said, being able to dive in and play wihtout a long (and potentially boring) help screen or anything like that is a big plus in my opinion.
The graphics are cool, nice art you got going there, and I loved the music as well, very arcady, very fitting the mood.
Cool game! Keep up the good work :-)
At the beginning I was avoiding enemies as I thought they would damage me when touching my tail. When I realized they wouldn't I just stopped at place and let them eat me. It took a while.
Interesting take on a "snake". Overall - good entry, good luck!
