Bloodflame is an Action RPG where you play as the demon lord, whose lair is being invaded by the noble heroes! These mongrels seek to slaughter you and raid your treasures, and you must stop them!
Heroes come out in endless waves. Each new wave is harder then the last, but you also gain more XP from it, which makes you level up and allows you to improve stats and unlock new skills.
Your only way of fighting is to use Blood Magic, meaning that every attack or skill you use drains your health. Collect hearts that drop from enemies to restore your health! Health also slowly regenerates by itself over time.
Controls: WASD - movement. Left Mouse Button - attack. Right Mouse Button - use skill (you must first select it). 1, 2, 3 - select skill (you must first unlock it in skill pane). Tab - open skill pane and pause the game. Escape - give up and exit to main menu.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Have fun!
This was fun. I liked the programmer art and the music was cool. I had a couple issues with fireballs having weird hitboxes when moving sideways, but other than that, fun wave-based defense game.
Really cool that the main attack used the health pool instead of a separate mana pool. Took me a few attempts before I got past the first wave, but after I did, the game was quite fun. Got to wave 24 before losing to the mages.
This is a fun game. I like the graphics, i like the music, i like even the weird control (i mean using r alt for tentacle 2) but i don't find this a bad thing. Good job developer.
This is hard! It became a little easier once i realized you could also level up stats, but i still died a lot haha. The hearts also blended a bit too much with the bloodstains for me, i often ended up missing them. Solid entry though, impressive amount of content, nice work!
Nice game. An ambitious idea implemented well. I especially appreciated that I got to keep my skills after I died, since I probably wouldn't have stuck with it long enough to see the whole skill tree otherwise.
Challenging game, I wish that the wizards who werent on screen couldnt attack me :/ I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/qmrKCmuKBqk
Cool concept! The blood magic thing is pretty unintuitive at first but it's an interesting challenge. The difficulty is a bit rough at first so maybe that could use some tweaking. Nice work!
The music very nice. I liked it a lot!
Very nice little game you made here! :)
