Soulscape (itch) (Vinark117)

Explore the colorful and dark caves of this world, while fighting enemies and freeing souls.

The game has controller rumble, so for the best experience playing with a gamepad is recommended. If the gamepad doesn't work try to restart the game.

Disclaimer: The game doesn't save your progress between play sessions, but you can use cheat codes to help you get back to the game easier. Read about cheat codes below.

Controls:

In the game you have 4 separate abilities which are teached to you at the start of the game: Sprint, dash, melee attack, ranged attack

You can combine these abilities to be more effective in combat:

• Hold down the shoot button to shoot a more powerful shot.
• Dash into enemies to deal damage to them.
• Press melee attack immediately after dashing to attack further.
• Press ranged attack immediately after dashing to shoot a more powerful shot without charging it up.
• Buck bullets with the melee attack.

Other controls:

• You can pause the game with the escape key or the menu button.
• In the pause screen you can enter screenshot mode by pressing H on the keyboard or select on a gamepad. Enabling this will disable all UI while the game is paused.
• You can mute the music by pressing M.

Cheat codes:

The game is around 20 minutes to complete, but I know that some people will don't have that much time for it, or the game is too hard for them. So I added 2 different cheat codes to the game, so you can easily finish the game and check out the ending. To use a cheat code, just simply start typing the code, no need to open any menu for it. 

The cheat codes:

• "unlock" - Set the soul requirement for the end to 0, so you can finish the game any time.
• "killall" - Kills every enemy in the current area you're in.
