Cavern Of Souls

CONTROLS IN DESCRIPTION

Cavern of Souls is a 2D platform shooter / boss rush, where "failure is progress". Collect souls from enemies and spend them on upgrades after you die. You have to die to give your descendants a fighting chance against the demons below!

This idea was somewhat inspired by the mechanics of Infinity Blade, which was an IOS "boss rush" in the 3rd person, where you fight the same enemies as your ancestors.

If this game has scratched an itch for you, and you'd like to see what I work on in the future, then there's good news! I stream art and game development on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/miasmageek , I make tutorials and Dev Logs at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeW6ha7yil9Vve7wN2xsrLw, and I also post little things on Twitter at https://twitter.com/MiasmaGeek
