Wind Shear

Made for the Cali Game Jam #2, on the theme "Wind."

You play a cloud, the earth's last line of defense against a swarm of biblically-accurate angels closing in to destroy it. An Evangelion inspired premise built around one mechanic: you absorb air Kirby-style, but you can't inhale enemies directly. Instead, you collect the orbs they drop on death, and once you've absorbed enough, you unleash a blast that instakills anything it touches.

It's a top-down survival loop: enemy spawn rate keeps climbing, the clock keeps running down, and every fight is a decision about whether to keep absorbing for a bigger payoff or cash in the blast now before you're overrun.
