ATTENTION: There have been a few comments saying it is too hard/they don't know how to win the level. If you are really stuck, read Spoilers.txt and have another go. Also there should be some info in the comments. To win a level, get 250 orbs and take them to the chaos portal (the pink thing at the end of the level, then the corrupt skill will turn gold, allowing you to use it.
Story:
You are the new Lord of Corruption. Your ultimate goal is too devastate worlds with your chaotic powers. You have come to Planet Erth* where your master meet his doom at the hands of the Paladin's Order. Your mission is to find the Chaos Portals he left behind, and to use their power, along with the strange Blue Orbs dropped by dead Paladins, to corrupt/kill all living things, and block out light forever. Fortunately, the Paladins are still guarding the portals, so finding the blue orbs will be easy. Getting to the portal alive is the hard part. So you pick up your cursed sword, put on your chaotic armour, and step through the warp portal onto Erth.
*Not a typo. I have creative names :P ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls:
Arrow Keys - Move/Jump SPACE - Attack. Make sure you hold it down. DON'T press it rapidly and then complain it doesn't work. This is a feature, not a bug. WASD - Special skills that consume Orbs. Down Arrow - Special skill that has a cooldown. P - Pause F12 - Screenshot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to win:
You goal is to corrupt the entire world. To do this, you must collect 250 orbs from the Paladin's Order who were sent to stop you, find the chaos portal, and use the corruption power (the S key). Once this is done, you will move to the next level. At the end of the last level, the screen fades to black forever. Don't complain that it stopped working. If you want, copy the levels from /res/levels/bonus into the /res/levels directory, and then it will move on to the bonus levels when you finish.
If you get stuck at any point, look at "Spoilers.txt" and see if that helps. ONLY IF YOU'RE STUCK.
If you want to make your own levels, see "How to Make Your Own Levels.txt" and have fun messing around.
If you want to mod it, or find out how something works, download the source and start hacking away at it (Hopefully you have the JDK and some Java IDE).
Decent game overall. Somehow, I never had enough orbs to use any special skill besides healing, though. Must be me playing badly. :) Good effort on graphics and level generation.
Quite cool actually. Except i couldent figure out what to do with the big pink thingy in the end. I figured its easiest if you stand on a ledge and let enemies jump.
Fairly fun. I couldn't really afford anything except healing, unfortunately. I ended up dying twice and quitting, because not keeping your orbs is a little too harsh, I think. It's very difficult to get them, and the only use is healing.
I like it. :) The gameplay is solid and entertaining. The graphics are nice, but some kind of background would have been a good addition. The level generation is an awesome feature. Sounds would have been nice, too.
If you manage to have full health, and more orbs than last time you had full health, then healing is worth it. You can get your orbs back by killing the paladins who took them (unless the paladins use them to heal)
I think the order of the Paladins have a serious flaw in their attack plan. If they just took all of their orbs and put them in a box somewhere, there'd be no risk of me corrupting the world :) Great game.
Made me think of Tiny Barbarian with a twist. I like the special skills. Definitely my kind of game. This is a really good basis for a more ambitious game with a good story mode and more variety in the sceneries and the enemies.
I couldn't get far. Enemiess attacking too fast got me desperate, while I was dying and trying to hold down the key. Sorry, it was not a pleasant experience to me.
Well, there were never any plans to take this game further, which was my goal this time as planning to take it further results in scope creep. However, I did make a few new code advances which will be used in a similar style (but different themed) game.
Special thank you to everyone who has rated the game so far.

Flying cloak is awesome! :D
Overall, fun!

I was not sure whether to add a background as it may ruin the feel, so I left it out.
no music and sounds is bad
And anyway, the paladins collect orbs so they can heal.
