That was fun! Was able to beat the "Tricky" difficulty on my first try, but it was quite intense towards the end. I really enjoyed the pixel art!

rly cool game has gr8 art style but i can't see the theme in this one

Wow that is good! Tricky was a difficult challenge for me

Good game! I played a lot. Congratulations!

Nice artstyle and solid gameplay!

Yeah there isn't really a theme of sacrifice except for the fact it is closely associated with demons. The web build controls can go wonky but that is just the nature of having mouse and web controls together. Overall the music and art was great and the game was fun.

A fun twin stick shooter! I found myself not using the warping mechanic very often because I wouldn't know what was surrounding my off-screen warp point, and as such I found it very difficult, even on the "Piece of Cake" difficulty.

The "Piece of Cake" difficulty was strange though, because the game would go from lulls where there were no enemies for several seconds (So that all you could do was wait), to a surge of enemies that I could not keep up with. If those peaks and valleys were smoothed out a little bit, that would have made the experience a lot more enjoyable.

short but satisfying. everything is so on point. should make this into a full game. also inspired me to make a bullet hell shooter game thanks for that. @lerpish its the setting not entirely in the gameplay. you are fighting in a sacrificial pit and you must get out of there. the zombies and other mobs were probably earlier sacrifices that you must fight off

The controls are very responsive, it's fun to play and challenging (even the piece of cake difficulty), the pixel art is well done. It's a good game! That's a bummer the gameplay does not fit the theme.

Your game was played on my stream ( twitch.tv/ursagames ) for the first day of Ludum Dare streams - you can find the timestamp of your game here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8

This game is awesome man. Graphics and music are on point and the gameplay is too. Only problem is I don't really see the theme in this one but that doesn't matter to me personally. Love it!

Hey there! Neat game man!

I absolutely love Horde-based games so you got me hooked there. I do wish that there was either a way to upgrade the blood ball shot. I really think this game could benefit by reducing the earlier levels killcount requirements.

The teleport idea was really fun and innovative though!

Not bad at all! :) quite beautiful art and nice mechanic. I finished it on easy and tried the highest difficulty, it was nice but real difficult :P By the way I don't know if there was any music because i didn't hear some unfortunately

shubart 2018-12-08 12:00

gameplay simple but well executed. Like the teleport idea. Thank you

Really solid game! I had a lot of fun both playing and improving it! For anyone who wants to watch, I opened the source code and re-implemented the way teleport works to go in the direction the player was facing. You can [watch it being developed here!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/346499857?t=02h48m07s)

Controlled really well and loved the challenge, although I found it hard to use the teleport in any meaningful way. Really cool presentation overall. :)

Here's my play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/345392409?t=02h17m22s
