Fight wave after wave of demons, sent by Satan to stop your from finishing the race. As time goes on, more difficult enemies will appear, until Satan Himself comes to stop you. Don't worry, even death won't end your suffering, as you just reset to the beginning, to try all over again.

Controls:
Left/Right or A/D - Move
Space/Ctrl - Shoot

Addendum:
This game is a bit tricky. Leave us a note if you actually beat Satan.

I have a problem with the resolution of the game, in full screen the size is not adapt to my desktop
resolution.

Try to change that or propose a window screen mode and add sound for shoot and destroy ennemy.
I can just play in a part of the screen like you see on the screenshoot.
I like the graphics and it is a fun shooting racing game.
The effect of the road is nice too.
That's perfect to relax after work on ludum dare !
Good job !

Pretty fun although I did find the very warm color pallet started to feel a little muddy after a while (worth noting this problem is exacerbated as I am using fLux which adds a orange tint to my screen for reducing eye strain at night)

Nicely done! Shooting lots of bullets feels good. Not been able to move up or down makes the movement very limited and sometimes it feels that you just have to take a hit.

I really liked having health bars on the enemies. I gave this a 5/5 for fun-- thought difficulty was appropriate, I beat the eye monster the first time through. great job, hail satan

Very funny ! i like this game.

I also had resolution issues, but I am currently using a 4k display which could be why. Great work on the enemy design and the colors. The projectiles were challenging and I liked how varied the enemies are.

I like it a lot! The twist of the road make the game very enjoyable, cause I don't like ship games because of their aesthetics, so this is perfect for me! :D

Fun game. The resolution is a little too zoomed in, but it was still fun to play

Cool game. Music puts you in this "demon-slaying" mood, and all this bullets.. playing was fun :) but didn't make through this giant eye thing, it's too powerfull for me)

Very cool game, had lot more fun than I would expect! The boss fight was as it should be with changing attack and little bit harder to beat, 1 thing I would change there would be a save point right at the boss. Well done.

"Oh no its a big eye thing idk" hahaha. Funny game, very tough / brutal gameplay but fun and satisfying as well. Love a good bullet hell!

I'm having the same issue as robowarrior1982, except the game is stuck in borderless-window mode and it's not showing the entire game. I have a 1440p monitor with a second 1024x768 monitor.

Loved the absurdity of the game, the overly metal vibe of the game does it wonders. One little thing, when enemies spawn too high their health bar can be off screen, making it hard to see whats going on. Other than that, great job!

Nice little shmup. That 80's style hitbox tho :joy_cat: Oh yeah, and that title is awesome.
Mekuri12 Oct 2020, 18:15
Interesting take on this particular genre. I liked the shots, they actually felt really good, and gave a bit more tactic to the game. Was able to hit the 'big eye thing (IDK :P ) during it's massive pew pew downwards phase, which was interesting.
Would've loved a few more sound effects. The music was great, but was also the thing that was carrying a lot of the mood.
I liked the whole road movement thing, had an awesome retro feel to it, I loved it in the menu, but while in game, it kinda got lost in the background, as I was busy blasting creatures and dodging fireballs.

Good job, and thanks for sharing :-)

It's fun, actually I don't like racing games, so I am glad you actually made a shoot-em-up. I think the hitbox is one of your many adversaries. You found a good soundtrack for your game, it would be nice if there were also sfx, would like to hear the demons moaning when they got mowed from the hellish skies.

However, it lacks connection with the theme.

I gotta give you cred for the difficulty on that second boss, I got really into it and eventually won with only a tiny bit of health left! Good job on this game!

What a cool spin on the bullet hell shooter games which usually revolve around spaceship or planes! I had fun, just wish I could restart the boss level and not entire game. Could not get past the Eye, but I bookmarked the game I will get to it later and beat it! :smile:

This game is really really hard :D, I enjoyed it while i was alive though. Some powerups or vertical controls would have been a good addition

Damn, o am just not good enough for your game it seems - very tough! But I guess you could expand it nicely!

I had a ton of fun with your game! This was very well designed, props to you!

The graphics and music all gelled nicely with the satanic theme and got me really pumped up to shoot the evil beasts that lie ahead! I like that you implemented the bullet hell screen scrolling in this new way with the car on the road, seems pretty innovative to me.

The gameplay itself was solid, I mostly felt that getting hit was my own fault (I think the ship should have a slightly smaller collision box), and the amount content you fit in already was pretty baffling to say the least. The different enemy types, the multiple bosses (I didn't quite make it to Satan :( died on the road after crab man), and the whole "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" mechanic made it feel like I was progressing through the game and getting rewarded for my efforts.

The only gripe I had was the lack of sound effects, especially for bullet shots and taking damage, but if you had gotten everything into the game within a few days people might think you were inhuman! ^^

Very well done!
