In the realm of Eldoria, an ancient sorcerer named Malachar
threatens to plunge the land into eternal darkness. To prevent
this cataclysm, a lone hero must gather pieces of pure gold
infused with elemental dragon magic to activate a powerful
summoning circle. This circle, designed by the legendary Guardians,
is the only hope to banish Malachar's essence from the mortal
realm forever. Can they assemble the gold and unleash the
circle's power in time, or will Eldoria succumb to shadow once more?

Controls:
WASD or arrows - move
left click - single shot

The trolley is a bit slow for my taste but the game iself is pretty good, well done.

Your game is very fun to play, well done.
I only missed a score at the end, to compete against friends.

This is such a fun little entry :D I love the wizard. He's adorable (as are the bats!!)

Nice game! I did really enjoyed the session! The only thing which was dissapointing is that at some point of track enemies were stuck in a rock with a large group of wizards. And goblins still robbing the car after the game over)

The game is quite hard but i liked it. Definitely worth playing.

Almost winned, but daaamn, those creatures are really mad at me.

giving tasks to a vampire survivor? good idea!

It's fun to play. Kind of like a vampire survivor.

I like the idea of this game. I think the point of a game jam isn't about who can create a more polished game in a short period of time, but rather about everyone coming together to exchange ideas and inspire each other with their creativity. The idea of this game makes me think that perhaps combining the gameplay of Vampire Survivors and Overwatch could be quite interesting.

Good game! I find it interesting how the secondary can destroy projectiles as well as enemies. Although due to its short range, I found myself mostly using it as a shield, which was difficult because the projectiles emit from the staff instead of the center of the player. The enemies were very fun to kill!

Interresting entry, nicely done :smile:

@doonutsaur I agree. The idea was to take a concept from a multiplayer fps and try it in 2d singleplayer. I am glad you liked it.

@pigg0bot I am glad you like the right click block mechanic. I was also considering dashing or something similar but I think blocking with bullets is more unique.

Gulcarauthor17 Apr 2024, 18:22

@andrewbyte Thanks. I hope it is not too hard but I really wanted to make the combat intense in the last part of the track.

Died right at the end and won. Guess you have to sacrifice something for the greater good :laughing:
Loved the game, well polished.

Gulcarauthor18 Apr 2024, 15:31

@rubikon forgot to check that you are alive before you win :laughing:

Lisek Gagatek21 Apr 2024, 00:44

Noooo, I died like 2s before my cart reached the destination :/// That's sad.

Jokes aside, that game is really a good deal of fun. I love that goblins aren't just a simple reskin of the bats and actually have a different behaviour.

There is no reason in the game not to shoot with the main attack all the time. It should happen automatically, or at least it would be nice if the player could just hold left mouse button.

Game was very fun, I didn't end up using the multiple shots as single ones without cooldown felt more effective.

Would be nice to have power ups for shooting and more enemy variety to increase difficulty as it was easy to reach the end (although with onlt 74% gold).

Well done!

Gulcarauthor23 Apr 2024, 07:58

@cake The multiple shots were really only meant for blocking and getting out of tight situations. I am suprised how you found it easy to win because I died quite often at the end. Thanks for playing!

Interesting concept and neat pixelart. Some kind of "moving tower defence".

RhysT28 Apr 2024, 15:48

Gameplay feels good and the aesthetic is pleasing, the enmies tend to get stuck on scenery a bit which does make things a bit tricky sometimes if they all come unstuck at once. Right click menu appeared at one point and locked my movement up.
