Welcome to the depths of hell! The Prince of Darkness has summoned you to be his entertainment. You and another sorcerer will do battle. Light all 5 candles in the pentagram to win! Attempt escape, see what happens. Your stay is eternal. Perform.
This is a 1v1 multiplayer game. I recommend the local multiplayer, but there is also an online peer-to-peer multiplayer.
How to setup online multiplayer:
- Use the windows build
- One player clicks "HOST RITUAL"
- The Ritual ID will automatically be copied to their clipboard, which they can paste and send to their friend in a private message
- Friend copies and pastes the code into the Ritual ID text box, and clicks "JOIN RITUAL"
- Note: You'll need to have Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) enabled on your router for this to work. Sometimes it's enabled by default
Known bugs:
- Online multiplayer doesn't work at all on itch.io, use the windows build if you want to try it out
- In local multiplayer, Controller vs Controller doesn't work on itch.io. Use Keyboard vs Controller or Controller vs Keyboard instead. Controller vs Controller works on the windows build.
- In online multiplayer, you can only use Keyboard.
- Two players shielding at the same time produces a graphical glitch.
I'll continue to make updates in the Post Ludum Dare version of the game
Patch notes:
PostLD 1.0.1
- Screen is smaller to encourage more interaction and more use of the screen wrap mechanic
- Candles are bigger for visibility
- Attacks send opponent into hitstun
PostLD 1.0.2
- Barriers work in online
- *Tried* adding MacOS build

| Action | Keyboard/mouse | Controller | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Move | WASD | LJoystick | Move to the edge of the screen to wrap around to the other side. The arena is infinite. Move to a candle to change it to your color. |
| Rotate | Mouse | LJoystick | |
| Attack | You'll attack automatically if you hit the opponent with your beard. The faster you're moving, the more they'll fly! | ||
| Shield | RClick | Y | You can't move while shielding. If your opponent attacks your shield, you'll parry. Parrying automatically changes a random candle to your color. |
| Draw Barrier | LClick | A | Press the button, then move around to draw the barrier. You can move through your own barrier, but not your opponent's. |
