Played and rated.

Really loved the retro feel with the art and audio. The concept is interesting and has a lot of potential!

I was very confused when I was testing for the first times. Had to read the keybinds to understand what to press, and I even discovered that I was the light orb lol! It was only confusing that the light orb dies after too long when posessing someone.

Overall I really love the feel of the game including Art, Audio and gameplay, but what's missing are clear instructions. Your game has a lot of potential and I encourage you to keep improving! :)

Would appreciate if you check out and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Thanks very much for the great feedback! We are so glad everyone is loving the art, but people being confused with the game is a common occurrence, and we really wish we had a bit more time to make it easier to follow.

The orb should only die if it's not possessing anyone, and once you do possess someone, the orb health will slowly regenerate.

When our final version comes it will be with full explanation and be a lot clearer on what to do. The intro will be fleshed out and bugs will be fixed. Thanks again.

Yes I'll add your game to my list and will most likely be able to play it tomorrow. I saw it being played on stream and it looks pretty interesting, and the HUD gave me some Diablo vibes.
