Software used : Photoshop, Spriter, Audacity, MusicStudio, Construct2
Instructions : You must earn timer to reset the countdown, by killing demons with one character (Death). But that's not all ! You have to control another one to collect these timer (wisely).
Use the arrow to move death and Space to attack.
At the same time, use A and D to move the girl
EDIT
About the story behind this : It may seems weird because one screen is missing (didn't have time) but normally, the girl would like to complete her journey before dying, and Death agree to help her get time to do so.
I killed 65 demons ! Excellent idea, nice realisation, satisfying to play and great take on the theme. What got me killed tho is that I created 2 timers very close so I had to take both at the same time, breaking my game flow. Great entry !
The mood and Theme are very cool. I really like the style of the art as well. I wondering what your overall idea for this is... if say you had a story part to it. Very Nice work.
asc3nsion : I invite you to see my posts to see the trouble I had with this LD (almost gave up). But yeah, here the idea was that the girl is "too young to die", and death agree to help her to gain time (and make her die the latest possible). It's not totally clear in the result, but that was kind of the idea.
Wow, it's a very unique idea to control 2 characters at the same time! Don't think I've seen this before anywhere. I did't really understand why the two are working together.. but it works on screen. The art and style are terrific, great job!
Looks really nice, most games forget to add particle effects. But why would Death kill demons to reset someone's 10 second timer? That part is a bit fuzzy.
Yeah, I try to explain few comments above that I did't get time to add the story screen :/ I added the "story" in the description. Thanks for playing and comment.
Cool implementation. It's funny because I almost did something similar, but couldn't figure out how it would work. Seems like you managed to do it just fine ;) I liked that you managed to put a little story there. Nice entry!
Cute little game, I love the idea of it and it looks nice! I featured it in a Ludum Dare 27 compilation video, if you would like to check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-HQ96z_y-M

Tork : That's quite a nice score imho.
Rabbits : Yeah, quite honestly, I'm not that good either (is that wrong ? :p)

The graphics were absolutely gorgeous, but the wasd + arrows combo was highly stressful. Still fun though!
liked it, I'm looking forward to your next games
well done :)
