EDIT: I wrote a post-mortem on my first LD participation. You can read it here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2016/04/19/its-dead-jim-a-ld35-post-mortem/

EDIT 2: I added a WebGL version on itch.io! I changed main controls to WASD (instead of ZQSD) but directional arrows still work (or layout change if possible). Also playing it full screen kinda breaks it. I can't embed it here since it's more than 960px in width, but go play it there and come back to tell me what you thought!

The heart of the forest has been corrupted, and you are the one the Spirits chose to cleanse it. Use their powers to fight the corruption!

Heart of the Forest kind of a shmup. There a quite a few missing elements (sound, feedback,...) and a whole lot of incomplete stuff (animation, UI,...) due to time constraints. It is my first released game, and I've had to learn quite a lot on the fly.

But despite its flaws, I am definitely proud to have made it to the end and to be able to present you this game.
