Description
Join Alma the apostate in her seeminly-futile quest to thwart the machinations of a fanatical doomsday cult. Shoot bad guys, dodge bullets, collect powerups, upgrade your abilities, and earn achievements as you progress through the story.
How to Play
All controls can be viewed and changed ingame. This is my first attempt at a (real) game, so hopefully I didn't leave anything out. :)
Developer Updates
v1.41:
1) Fixed a bug where certain enemies were spawning and despawning instantly in the caverns level under certain circumstances. If you couldnât get a 100% kill rate there before, try again now.
2) Added text to the mouse-and-player sync widget that activates after certain dialog sequences and in between pauses. It was confusing some people.

I actually find text in these games somewhat nice for a change of pace between levels, what I might suggest is an option to "turn off the story", which basically just skips the text and "cinematics" for a pure shooter feeling.
Offering the player a "story mode" and an "arcade mode" is a pretty good idea, actually. I'll keep that in mind for the sequel(s). :D

Not bad at all... Reminds me "Bullet heaven" though.
Thanks, although I've got a ways to go before my artwork is anywhere near that good.

I wish. Maybe part 2 will do better? :D

Well, the gameplay is good and the game has a lot of polish, which is good. The plot is... irritating, but probably just because I read a lot and the characters' motivations and interactions are very one-dimensional with the exception of the main character who is pretty much a jerk. I think, though, that good characterization is probably something that comes with experience, and everything in this game feels like you've put a lot of time into. Overall, I'd say this is an amazing first game, and I hope you make more in the future.
Yeah I'll admit, I had trouble weaving a story into this game because, for the most part, I've been getting the impression that people don't want big stories in games like this. So I tried to cram a lot in with only a few words, and I guess I'm not good at it. I think, had I done this as an RPG instead, I would've had a better chance to flesh everyone out. Oh well, live and learn!

Game design is top notch, especially with the focused/non-focused concepts. Game concept, on the other hand, just doesn't fit the game design. This would work better with ships than a person. At least slow the movement of the background, it's too fast to make sense. One more thing that I really liked that I want to point out, is the position of the boss being shown at the bottom of the screen. Never seen that done before, and it is an excellent idea.
