Mound of Flesh
Play our game on Itch! https://cosmicfrog.itch.io/mound-of-flesh
You are a lost and forsaken soul; you must strive to survive among the other damned denizens of the Flesh Pit. Using accursed piles of gore and viscera you can try to build some semblance of a defence; but try not to get trapped in the rapidly growing maze of flesh.
A top-down shooter in which defeated enemies drop movable obstacles that can both help and hinder your survival.
The theme of Ludum Dare 54 is Limited Space, which we used as a spring-board for making a survival-horror inspired experience where your successes and failures are closely entwined in an increasingly claustrophobic environment.

Thanks everyone for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like, as per usual, some of you are already better than I am at our own game.
@adam-gallina Yes I agree and I think I'll remember that for the next jam. Making sure the players have all the information they need should have been a higher priority I think. We don't want the player to feel like their loss was because of unfair game mechanics.
@steampowered85 This is a good point. We were trying to find a way to add a vision cone to the player but we couldn't solve it in time for the cut-off. But like you said, just making the torch into a cone in front of the player would have been a good compromise I think.
Thanks again everyone!
