Destruction Upon The Town!

ABOUT THE GAME

Made for Ludum Dare 55, that went on during the weekend of April 12th of 2024, with the theme of Summoning.

Play as a mischievous, evil wizard who is using their crystal ball to spy on an unsuspecting, and innocent, town. Summon evil creatures to attack the town and destroy their newly built property that took a REALLY LONG time to build.

HOW TO PLAY

SOME OF THE LITTLE GUYS

• Imps | a small goblin-like demon
  
• Sprite | a very small fire sprite that moves around very quickly and is very fragile
  • these were originally only going to set buildings on fire, but the idea was scrapped for time
• Hellhounds | fire dog
• Goblins | small child-sized creature that is notorious for stealing stuff
• Shadow Imps | dark, transparent, teleporting imps
  • these were originally planned to only appear at night on higher levels, but were changed due to gameplay changes
• Hobgoblins | bigger imps that are in charge of regular imps

EXTRAS

I really like when developers show some of their early work on the games that they make.

Here are some sketches of the game's initial planning.

some guys who didn't make the cut

• Lava Slugs | big, slow moving slug made of lava and rocks (sturdy)
• Abyssal Terrors | tentacles that spawn from a water portal on the ground and grabs villagers, yanking them to the bottom of the sea
• Wraiths | ghostly apparition
• Fairies | randomly spawning entity that might have given the player extra mana when clicking on it
