Maledictus

Break the curse, if you can! (Made in 1 week for #BulletHellJam)

QUICK START

Movement: gamepad, WASD, arrows
Firing: 'A' button on controller, SPACE bar, SHIFT key (remember to turn off StickyKeys in Windows)

Menus: gamepad or arrows plus SPACE/ENTER

HOW TO PLAY

Grab gems to level up the bat's attacks, or cease fire for ten seconds to unleash a deadly super sonic blast!

In the super-hard CURSED mode, bat will perish after ten seconds of sustained firing -- destroy enemies up-close to leech their life, until the curse is broken!

For big scores and big challenge, play CURSED. If you like to hold down the fire-button and PEWPEWPEW, play normal.

(please note that due to the full extent time constraints of the jam, this build has no pause function; some other features may be a little rough, and may be fixed after the jam has completed. Like some slightly-borked additional keyboard controls -- please use WASD and SPACE if you can)
