Genre: Platform Defense Game Summary: You are a shaman named Muju protecting your juju shrine from scary beasts. Controls: Arrow keys, WASD, or left mouse button to move, number keys to select between up to 2 minions and use spacebar to summon that minion. E or Tab to visit the upgrade shop while standing at the shrine.
Description
The game starts with you in front of the shrine in the center of your screen.
Enemies start coming at your shrine, trying to attack it! If they kill it, you lose the game.
You can summons minions using juju juice to fight off the scary beasts.
The scary beasts also attack you! If they kill you, you enter the Juju realm.
While in the Juju realm, your soul floats freely in the air. It gradually gets sucked into your body, limiting your movement.
After a time period, your soul enters your body again and you are resurrected!
All enemies drop juju juice when they die. Juju juice is a green goopy mass that floats around in the air.
You can only collect juju juice when you are in the juju realm.
You use juju juice to summon minions, and you also use juju juice to purchase upgrades at the shrine.
"Discussion"
You have to die sometimes to get juju juice so you can summon more minions.
But it's risky because while you're dead you risk having your juju shrine taking damage.
Part of the interesting decision making is choosing when to die, and optimizing your juju juice collection path (designed so you won't be able to get all juju juice).
Another interesting decision making is budgeting your juju juice between upgrades and units (and what type of upgrades and what types of units).
Muju doesn't really do anything, he's just this super old guy limping around that throws his arms up in the air dramatically every once in a while to summon stuff.
How To Speak Juju
Take the first consonant(s) and add uju to the end. If it starts with a vowel, it's just uju.
So great! It's a little slow to start though, so getting upgrades doesn't feel very feasible until right when it gets so hard that I need all my juice to make minions. I'll be playing it more though to see if there's a better order of upgrades, some of them seem super cool. Overall super great.
It looks fantastic. I love games where I can feel the love of their developers in every little detail. Super cool sound scape... great. The gameplay feels good but there should be more positive effects for the upgrades. Great Job played it with a good feeling!
I don't really like that the game forces you to die. Also the diffuculty jumped at some point and the enemies just oblitared me even though I was summoning as fast as I could. I guess I should've gotten some better upgrades. Nice atmosphere and the gameplay works too, could amp up a bit faster though.
