Crystal Protectors by BlueDingo

[raw]
made by BlueDingo for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

You play as a Demon who can summon lesser Demons at your will. You need to protect the crystal from the angels coming to purify it. Use the lesser Demons to banish the angels

Controls:

WASD = Movement

Space = Jump

LeftShift = Sprint

E = Summon Demon

Goal: Hold out for as long as you can. There is a simple ending that triggers you to be able to go back to the main menu if you feel you had enough, otherwise it goes into an Endless Wave mode where the angels get stronger and stronger until you fall.

Notes: - The summoning circles under the lesser Demons only appear on the PC build - I don't belive the embedded html on this site works

Hope you enjoy! Any and All critism and constructive feedback is welcomed!

Not having a spawn limit or cooldown and only one thing to summon limited the game a bit. The floating demons were pretty cute though! I did get some vibes of Orcs Must Die, maybe taking it in that direction could work well!

@gaverion yeah the part that sucks about the whole spawn limit and one demon to summon is that the code to summon more and put a cooldown on it was already made, I just couldn't find a way to convey the cooldown and didn't have enough time to make design another demon.

Also glad it felt like it had an Orcs Must Die vibe to it, I was going for a Orcs Must Die/Dungeon Defenders type vibe.

Thanks for playing!

While the game is rough around the edges Im very impressed with your result. I know from my own pitiful tries how hard pulling something off like this in 3D is, especially solo. So, well done!

I liked the movement and idea behind it! If it had a cooldown or any type of drawback for the ability It would have been a more challenging and great experience. Good job so far and keep at it!

Love the summon design, big eyes are always good, a little unbalanced as I can infinitely summon allies, but it was fun pushing them around like balloons lol, nice work!

"There is no limit to how many demons you can summon"

Well, I think I was approaching the limit to how many demons my computer could handle.

you werent kidding about the unlimited part, was fun trying to break my pc, however the game play as a genuine game is a bit lacking, maybe it would make sense to include an upgrade path for your demons so that you wont have to flood the whole game area with demons to beat it. but i had alot of fun, good jib, decent visuals.
