The Delivering of Christ - The trials of Mary
Hi there! I’m archangel Michael! You may remember me from my DJing days touring as “David Guetta” or from my appearances in Wes Anderson movies.
I bring exciting news!!
You’ve been selected to carry the seed of our Lord and delivering His child on to this world, so he can grow and save humanity and banish all sin™.
You’ll just need to last one more night until his birth.
But be careful, there are some enemies looking for you while Joseph is looking for a nice room (lol).
MOVE:
WASD / Arrows
SPECIAL (Power of Christ):
Spacebar
PAUSE:
Esc / Backspace
EDIT: We realised, from your comments, that when you turned off the sound in the main menu, the game halted after the tutorial. This has been fixed in every build. Sorry for that, enjoy!

Some really promising aspects here nice job 👍

Art looks nice. It felt like I was running around for a really long time. Well done!

Nice art. The game may be a bit too easy.

I really like the graphics, the gameplay reminds me of vampire survivors and the like. Maybe fewer obstacles would have been good though, I kept getting stuck on things.

The area of effect ability was badass

Great entry. I managed to survive on my second attempt. When you're just walking in one direction it's pretty easy.
The music was really good - I could listen to it like forever.

@paroxysmal This bug was fixed yesterday. Thank you very much for your helpful feedback.

Pretty sure the "power of christ" melting the flesh from peoples bones was not in the book but this is canon to me now
Trakina2 May 2023, 13:22
@peterfiftyfour yeah, we did some... a-hem... "creative interpretations" of the source material
trASSh2 May 2023, 16:30
1st tried it! It was really close tho. Honestly if it wasnt for the the jokes and interesting story would've definately skiped trough the whole explenation. Great Game!

The game kept me in suspense all the time! Special attack - arranges genocide)
Michael Harris2 May 2023, 18:38
Special attack is fun when you batch everyone up and kill them all in one swoop :-)
BrineLeaves2 May 2023, 18:57
Love the graphics! Game is p simple and really easy (I kind of just walked in the same direction forever and the enemies couldn't catch up to me) but this is a funny way to take the theme haha!
zimny112 May 2023, 20:23
That surely is an unique take on the theme XD Great job with art style and music! I also love the reference. I just do not get it why the lose message is so sad, you can always look on the bright side of life ;)

I found the game to be solid in its purpose and liked how it was tied into the theme. However, I feel that the stone the player throws is almost irrelevant to the gameplay, since it's not that difficult to use the power and it's much more effective. The fact that the objective is simply to survive for 5 minutes makes the game quite easy, as you only need to walk in one direction. Nevertheless, I believe that with a bit more polish these things could be corrected. It's a promising game.
Jaxah2 May 2023, 23:25
This is a fun little game, though it becomes waaay too easy just running in one direction.
Love the art style and music!

It obviously reminds me 'vampire survivors'. The story is funny. The game perhaps too easy, the main difficulty is the square hitbox of obstacle (should be reduced/rounded in my opinion). Some upgrade system / amo / collectible / ... could help spice up the gameplay with an increasing difficulty.
Overall that was funny.
Well done.

nice little survival game! i enjoyed the quirky dialogue, subtle day night cycle, and simple but effective spritework
saikai4 May 2023, 07:50
alternative name 'mary survivors' :smile: . even though 5 mins were quite long, I had a great time playing this game
Trevor Lentz7 May 2023, 18:17
I thought Mary could stomp the serpent, but not in this game. XD I really enjoyed the classic visuals and music. The amount of skulls piling up in the desert were staggering! Well done. :)
kristinamay8 May 2023, 16:13
Lovely game! Makes me want to play vampire survivors again, which is extremely dangerous... :laughing: Wonderful desert art, very chill game, and the power of christ RULED. Balanced really well, too. And good music. Overall, I loved this, I'd totally play more.
Maskrosen9 May 2023, 15:29
Fun idea and take on the theme, it looks nice as well. Good job!
Adrien Tremblay13 May 2023, 22:06
Fun game! Cute art. Really liked the music. Jesus Mary killed so many people on her way to delivering jesus
JiexDrop17 May 2023, 14:50
Definitely fun take on the theme. I laughed (inside my head) at the ennemies glitching collisions.
N0va19 May 2023, 23:10
Mary sure does not have an easy task. Was a bit hard the first time cause I did not check the controls properly and use her special power, but the second time around I managed with that. I enjoyed pretty much all, the jokes, art, BGM and gameplay. GG C:

A game with serious vampire survivors vibes that is also accessible to Christians. The enemy AI could be more aggressive. Most of them did not immediately attacked the player character, even though they seemed to be in reach. Anyway, I had a blast!
If the sound is muted the game freezes once Michael stops talking and can't do anything beyond that.
