Submission for Spooky 2D Jam '24 🦇 &  Mini Jam 170: Clean
Themes and Limitations: Spooky, Alone, Clean and Everything in Pieces

Made in less than 36 hours!

I recommend downloading the .exe file and playing it because HTML is kinda laggy. Also use headphones for better experience because you would get to hear in which direction the shards are spawned in.

Concept:

You play as an afterlife custodian bound to cleanse/purify corrupted souls trapped in pieces/shards in the afterlife, all by yourself. As corrupted soul shards (red shards) spawn, your mission is to gather, cleanse, and store them before they transform as ghasts.

It's an endless game and you shall try scoring the highest among other players. Send me the screenshots of your high scores. I'd be more than happy to see them.

Key Gameplay:

• Collect Corrupted Soul Shards: Scattered red shards appear across the map. Grab them quickly, or they’ll turn into ghasts.
• Cleanse at Altar: Bring the shards to cleansing altar (at the top left) to purify the corrupted souls.
• Store and Score: Transport purified shards to storage pit (at the bottom right) on to earn more points.

Controls:

• Movement - A, S, D, W
• Cleaning/Storing - Hold Spacebar

Survive as long as you can, balancing collection, cleansing, and storage under the pressure of endless waves. Aim for a high score, experimenting with different strategies each time you play.

Music, Design and Development by me, Ajo!
