Ranked from 10 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme Strange Places by presenting Purgatory as an unsettling afterlife.
Instead of wonders or beauty, the environment is wrong, unfamiliar, and oppressive.
The player must fight to endure, reinforcing a cosmic horror atmosphere where strangeness comes from isolation and hostility rather than variety or spectacle.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some core systems were adapted from a previous personal project (Too Deep to Dig) and modified during the jam to suit a top-down bullet-hell design.

Additional graphical assets were sourced from Fab.

A nice little game. Good visuals and style. The transition from the entry screen to the game itself is very fun. 

The ending is rather immediate, and I wasn't certain if the game had crashed. 

Developer

Oh I should had done something slower! Thx! I did had fun also, doing it!

Nice short game, the voxel character looked really cool!

Developer

Not bad, I liked the transition from the title screen to the fight. Ends a little abruptly, though, and it's unclear at first if it's actually the end. Could definitely use sounds and a little more mechanics, but overall not bad. Nice job!

Developer

Oh thx! I did had some trouble thinking if I did the sound or took something on FAB. The idea was to put sound on it, but I am not sure the best option...
