Infernup's Ablazummon

You play as Ablazummon, a hellish demon stuck in Infernup’s famous ever-descending human-Summoning™ lava pit. No hope of getting out of there… but while you’re at it, you might as well sacrifice a few extra humans, until… the inevitable. 🔥

Armed with your summonner’s staff, dodge lava and manipulate the Summoning™ Pentacle to absorb humans, and you’ll be able to re-summon them later: as platform to move around, or on sacrificial altars to gather score

Infernup’s Ablazummon is a fun arcade-platformer, where you play and replay short games to chase the leaderboard. Heartbeat goes up, palms go sweaty : The game is exigent, it’s expected that you’ll die a lot, that’s how you learn! Each game length is calibrated to last no more than a few minutes.

Instructions

Controls

Move using WASD (rebindable!)

Orient the Summoning™ Pentacle using mouse cursor

Summon humans using mouse click

In menus: Space as “Ok”, Esc as “Back” (rebindable!)

You can score points!

Summoning™ the humans you’ve fetch in your pentacle on an altar will give you points.

The more a specific altar has been used before, the more points you’ll get!

You can double jump!

Well, no, not really.

However, Summoning™ the humans mid-air act as temporary platforms. You can even fetch them back in your portal once they start falling again!

You can build!

Summoning™ the humans you’ve fetched next to a platform will create new platforms.

Unlike humans summoned mid-air, platform ones can’t be re-fetched later!

You can die in lava

No explanation needed for this one, you’ll see!

About the game

Made in 48h for the 55th Ludum Dare gamejam, “compo” category.

Tool used : crappy ol’ Clickteam Fusion 2.5+, Aseprite, BFXR, Bosca Ceoil, ShareX, & some more.

Very proud of how the game ended up. I hope you’ll enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed wasting time doing so instead of working on it during the 48h! 😁 … (I forgot)

👉 TL;DR:

Hover to fetch human, click to summon, summon on altar to score 🔥
