Hellfactory CROSS

Top down, on rails shooter about a decorated war hero pilot fighting through heaven and hell to save their long lost friend.

Submission to the BIGMODE Game Jam 2023

Inspired by Dante's Inferno.

If you want to find Heaven and Hell, you need only look above and below. 

Which is where depend on who you are...

Gaia was razed to down to its dusty ground after decades of war. When the sky above and ground below tore open and Heaven and Hells poured from Gaia's open wounds. Humans were enlisted on both sides. Promised peace when it was all over. For Heaven, there were no better pilots then D and Forese. But in the end, even equipped with the best CROSS's mankind could muster, Forese was lost, dragged to the depths of hell to be punished for eternity. 

You are D. And you will save your friend. By any means necessary. 

Stealing back your old CROSS, the ALI - Gheri, a device that allows humans to warp the space around them, presenting them with new realities and giving them a chance against Hell's forces. You break through Heavens clouds, and commit yourself sin by sparking up an old rivalry to find Forese and release them from Hell's bonds.

Gaia is a broken cradle, it's children dust in the wind.

With Heaven's words at your back, save your friend. Save their soul.

But remember.

"You won't get what you want"

Have fun.

Known Issues:

No controller support. Sorry about that. If you harass me enough about it in the comments, I will add controller support.

If you have window-size problems, feel free to let me know. The UI has been known to stretch oddly. I believe this is an issue with Godot, and I am trying to find a fix, but haven't solved it so far. Screenshots welcome.

Thanks!
