Description
Lanternal is a fast-paced bullet hell shooter developed in just 72 hours for the Ludum Dare 43 game jam. The theme for the jam was "Sacrifices Must Be Made," which we creatively incorporated into the gameplay mechanics. In Lanternal, you play as a young mage tasked with defeating enemies and capturing their souls. As the game progresses, a demon appears at regular intervals, demanding that you sacrifice some of your power in order to continue.
