Your soul is now connected to the ancient Lord of Darkness - Der Klappermann.
Guide him down the path to the devout priests which deserve his retaliation. Every step supports the expansion of your ruthless empire. When you encounter a spell circle in the form of a pentagram, walk along the edges to dissolve it. This will break the circle and the priests are vulnerable, but be carefull the priest will try to dissolve you by luring you on their ground.
Once the circle is broken it is the time to dissolve them on your burning land. But if they can restore their magic shield, they will try to attack you and the cycle starts again. And don't forget to dash!
The GOAL of the game is to dissolve the priests and their world.
If you get in contact with grass you will DISSOLVE. If priests get in contact with your world they will DISSOLVE themselves.
At the beginning the priests and their holy trees are very strong, you have to weaken them by devouring the energy of their holy sign (blue glowing writings on the ground). The trees will start to decay.
Once you weakend their magic enough their sign will dissappear and you become dominant (great change in MOOD & LIGHTNING). Now the priests are unable to restore their dimension around them, so you have to make them go on your unholy ground and they will dissolve.
You can heal yourself by dissolving plants and attacking the sign of the priests. Each DASH will dissolve you by 5% so don't use them too much.

You have to stand on the pentagramm. Then it will get dark and you have to stand near the priests to dissolve them. But be carefull when they healed all trees they will be dangerous again!
Outstanding graphics and sound design! I am really intrigued by this game. One thing i miss is an indcation of your current health, but aside from that i enjoyed this game very much. Thanks for making this!
I think I was able to dash during the menu and find my way out of bounds / fall off the world. Either way, really cool! I love the black particle waves surrounding the player.
This is just overall great. sound design is very atmospheric and the artwork is obviously really good. Takes a few minutes to figure out how to do it, but that's part of the fun. Give it a go, it's absolutely worth your time.

cool gameplay, if u would add a highscoresystem i would play it maybe some hours longer ;)
The game looks amazing! Very polished and one can see you took your time with other details such as a tutorial or the website where the game is hosted. Well done!

Don't know what to do though. Skeleton guys keep killing me. Fell off the level :)
thank you very much for your feedback!
The indication of health is how much the player is dissolved, but sometimes it is hard to see with all those effects around it!
Amazing game and very atmospheric.
