The Needlmancer - demo playground

Control the powerful wielder of the Needlmancy book and defeat the Demonologist's minions.  This demo doesn't have an end or a purpose, you can play around with the character against an endless flow of enemies. Special ability can cause FPS drop on HTML5 build.

Controls

The demo can be played with a keyboard or a controller (recommended). Actual controls are shown in game.

About

Short demo written in 4 days for the Godot Wild Jam 27 (theme "Books"). Most of my focus was on visuals and controls. Couldn't manage to put together a proper game due to time constraints (damn work).

Awesome sprite work! Love the background customization options too, reminds me of SNES RPGs letting you change your UI.

Thank you so much! It was a first attempt and it takes me a long time, but I am enjoying pixel art, although I am no artist.

I love the art! The gameplay isn't the most interesting thing, but the sprites and animations are on point.

Hello LoricGarde! Thanks for taking the time to give it a try and for your feedback. I am glad you liked the art, it's my first attempt at pixel art and it was my main focus in this project. I agree it does not add anything to the old '80s shooter formula gameplay wise. Hopefully with more time I'll be able to make a decent shooter out of it and add more compelling characters.
