You take on the role of a god. Use your life force to create an army of followers, absorb the manna from their prayers, and use your followers to defeat the armies of the wicked rival gods. By destroying your rival god’s followers you stop the worship that sustains them, thereby ending their existence.
Hint: Type the words you see on the screen as quickly as you can!!
What is BattleType
BattleType is a tower defence and lane strategy game. The aim of the game is to destroy the enemy god by summoning your fighters to defend your portal, fight the hordes of enemies on the battlefield (lanes), and to sacrifice themselves at the enemies portal.
How To Play
#### Fighters You summon your fighters by typing their names and pressing enter. Your fighters are listed in the top left of the screen. Summoning your fighters uses your life force.
Note: Currently there are only two fighters available, Igor a lightweight melee fighter and Zoth a medium weight melee fighter. Future versions of BattleType will have additional fighters including ranged fighters and spell casters.
#### Spells The random words that appear in the top half of the screen are spells. Type them in to summon them. Each spell you summon will increase you health. The longer the spell the more health you will gain.
#### Portals Summoned fighters enter the battlefield from the portal. Portals move every few seconds, providing fighters access to different lanes on which to fight and journey towards the opponents portal. If a fighter reaches their opponents portal, they will sacrifice themselves, inflicting great damage to the opponent god.
Tip: Protect your portal from the enemy fighters by keeping your lanes under control.

It was interesting and fun and it's very useful for improve your writing skills :smile: I found one little bug, after I died, buttons New game and Exit doesnt work so I just had to restart the game.
The whole "typing of the gods" idea is cool, but it doesn't feel like you have a whole lot of control over your characters - the difference between your two people isn't communicated, and it's hard to judge how much health your fighters have. Also It took me a bit to realize how exactly you're supposed to fight - it isn't entirely clear that the two people in the upper-left corner are summonable!
Fun game. Loved the typing lane-defense genre mashup. I wanted my champions to come down specific lanes, but they seemed to appear in random lanes. Could use a little animation on the sprites.
@plexsoup Thank you so much for your feedback and I am happy you enjoyed the game. The portals follow a pattern and if you watch them, you will be able control when your fighters are summoned through them. It was by design.
Regarding the animations we did create the animated sprites, unfortunately we were unable to add them to the game as we ran out of time.
So you use your life points to spawn soldiers (Igor & Zoth) and by killing the enemies you gain life points. I tried clicking on Igor and Zoth, but I couldn't get them to spawn. Once the enemies reach the left side they turn into blue smoke, does this also decrease life points?
@mika-la-grand To gain life points you type the words that appear on the screen. Also when you play the game there is a word that says 'Summoning:' in the bottom left corner, if you type a word and get it wrong it will appear red next to the 'Summoning:', and once the enemies reach the left side it does decrease your life points.
