Shay’s Goldem Mob

Step into the enchanting world of Shay, a whimsical magic fox fairy whose powers extend far beyond her adorable appearance. With her innate ability to summon delightful golem helpers, Shay embarks on a noble quest to cleanse the once serene fairy meadow from the clutches of sinister monsters. In this top-down game, survival is paramount as players face relentless waves of enemies.

As Shay defeats enemies, she collects 'souls', which she uses to summon helpful golem friends. Each golem has its own special skills. Players can pick and choose these skills by pressing arrow keys.

Will Shay and her loyal golems prevail against the forces of darkness, or will the fairy meadow succumb to the encroaching shadows? The fate of the realm lies in the hands of the player.

Feel free to test it!

How does one cleanse and survive...

• Use W, A, S, D to move around
• Move the mouse to aim
• Click and hold the left mouse button to shoot
• Press 1, 2, or 3 to start summoning a golem
• Use the arrow keys to customize your summoned golem with exactly 5 inputs. Information on the buffs are visible in the bottom right.
• During gameplay, press M to return to the menu

Summoning golems:

But be careful, if you want to equip your golems with additional strengths, you have to use exactly 5 arrow keys, if you press too few or too many arrow keys, the summoning fails, your souls are gone and no golem will be summoned. 

There's an in-game tutorial where you can practice all everything mentioned before heading out on your first cleansing.

This game was made as an Entry for the Ludum Dare 55 with the topic Summoning.
