You are a guardian angel, but humanity is making your job very difficult. Soldiers face off on the battlefield with grenades, bombs, and spears, and your job is to Keep them alive!
Objective: Use your body and angelic aura to protect soldiers from each others projectiles. The battle will keep getting more intense until one side wins, at which point its game over. Keep them alive as long as possible!
Tips: - Soldiers don't have strong allegiances, knocking them to the other side will cause them to change sides! Use this to balance power if one side is on their last legs. - Spears become harmless after touching the ground. - My high score is 129 seconds! Can you do better?
This game was made for Ludum dare 46, which had the theme 'Keep it alive'
I really liked the game! Tried my best to save those people. I found interesting to notice that they'll never know that an Angel is trying to protect them. They might think they're just lucky to not get hit without any thought on stopping the warfare.
I loved the chaoticness of this game. Started out to be quite simple untill i had easily 10 grenades flying in the air! Can see this getting quite addicting
@MrFluffySheep That was the main bit of feedback I got from my brother playtesting it, so I added those indicators so you at least know they are there lol. Maby adding the number as well would have been good, I thought about it but was already content with the amount of time I put in.
MORE EVERYTHING! I got a good chuckle out of seeing this. I also got a really good chuckle of the angel spinning through the air the first time a bomb blew up on me. I wish this had sound effect to really add to the comedy but it was still really enjoyable even without it.
Love the consept :D My record for keeping the pesky humans alive was 65.39s. Fun game :thumbsup: Indicator showing when I could use my aura again, would have been nice. Good job!
Nice concept. Being an angel is hard, obviously. Some aura-recharge meter would be great and sometimes soldiers were catapulted beyond the screen border and I could not reach them, a small bug maybe? Good job!
Love the idea, super creative! Controls are good, could use an indication that aura is available. Humans really want to kill each other, being an angel is hard :sweat_smile: Well done!
Very nice idea, to protect two sides of a battle from each other. Great fun. I think using the mouse for control would make for a greate game feel overall, though.
Really neat artwork! Like those little guys :D This game really got me in an ambitious mood- would have been nice to see how good the other players where - i kept them alive for almost 2 minutes- I hate those grenades -.-' xD Great game!
A neat idea and quite fun! The controls felt a bit difficult, though - it sort of seemed like I could just knock everything around, but didn't have much ability for precision. Even so, it was fun to watch all the weapons fly by and to try to pile all the little humans into the center where they might be safe. (Though those fools would just crawl back out. Humans.)
Really interesting idea! The cooldown on the ability, combined with the loss of control of the animation when you're hit by a bomb, makes it interest to have to sequence your blocks in a tactical way. Even the spears end up being threatening when you're focused on the larger threats. Maybe additional visual feedback when weapons can no longer deal damage (if this is the case) would have been helpful. Nicely done!

Like the balancing.
I like the fact that you can actually use your body to stop explosives, and that they bounce you around the map.
Glad you enjoyed it!
