High-Speed Hallowing

About

High-Speed Hallowing  is a fast-paced top-down action game where you kill enemies by dealing damage based on how fast you slam into them.  

You are a spirit and must rid the area of ghosts by cleansing the shrines around the map. Each ghost has its own unique behavior, attacks, strengths, and weaknesses.

This is a prototype and there is currently only 1 level. Feedback is appreciated!

Enjoy the game!

Controls:

WASD: Move.

Space: Dash.  If pressed while moving into a wall, you will bounce off of the wall instead (wall-dash).

Left click: Grapple.

Right click (Snap-dash): Point mouse at a nearby enemy and hold to teleport to them. Release mouse button to dash in a direction using WASD.

E: Interact.

ESC: Pause.

Mechanics and Objectives

Goal:

Collect enough souls from ghosts to cleanse all 4 shrines and the king shrine. 

Mechanics:

Your damage is based on how fast you are moving when you hit an enemy.

Dash and grapple have a cooldown. Wall-dash and snap-dash do not.

Performing a wall-dash or snap-dash quickly will refresh the cooldown of dash and grapple.

Sequencing your abilities well will allow you to constantly dash and grapple around the map.

Cleanse the grey shrines to unlock the king shrine. Each shrine provides a different upgrade that you can buy after it has been cleansed.

When you cleanse the king shrine, you will start taking damage periodically. You must kill all remaining ghosts before you die to win.

Complete the level as fast as you can to get the best rating!
