BETA v0.999986

Descend into the forge, learn new words of destruction, and temper the GOD orb seven times to unlock its power.

SAD GOD is a platformer-shooter-roguelike. It's difficult journey down into a pit filled with monsters, traps, weapons, and level-up-coins. Then a frantic race to the surface before the lava gets you. It's not an easy game, but there are weapons that let you wrap yourself in a protective sock, fire tiny versions of yourself, shoot conveyor belts, or heads that explode into more bullets. There's also a hat bullet.

CONTROLS

  • Move: A, D, cursor keys
  • Fire / Shoot / Jump: Space, Z, X
  • Screenshot: Ctrl+P

Gamepad also supported.

MODES

  • Normal: Casual mode, allows you to keep trying a level when you die.
  • Hardcore: Complete all 8 levels without dying.
  • Plus Modes: Complete Normal and Hardcore to unlock new difficulty levels.

MANIFESTO

  • Short: Each level should not take more than a few minutes to play.
  • RPG: Hard choices that result in a "build" at the end of a run.
  • Non modal: No menus, no pick 1 of 3 cards.
  • High variance: Lots of monsters, shot types, terrain.

nice, i like it! 😁

the new update adds a lot of challenge.  I've had this come up a couple times and can't get past it.

Thanks for letting me know. I've uploaded a hotfix that addresses the issue:

Gotta love the fact that it took like 4 months to finally add sfx

Took awhile to get used to the keys overall fun and challenging

I like it! Constantly dying but having a good time

Great job avoiding all the upgrades.

I'll make them a bit more colourful.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops. A little bit Downwell, a little bit Probability 0.
