Save the Souls
A free browser arcade game. You’re the pastor, and every person you reach joins the line behind you.
Save the Souls is a small arcade game that runs in your browser. You play the pastor, and you start out alone.
Every person you reach joins the line behind you: babies, kids, teens, adults, and elders of every look. They’re drawn fresh each run, so no two games look the same.
Nobody is chased and nobody is caught. People are gathered.
Why I made it #
I saw a game going around where the goal was catching people. I didn’t like the tone of it.
I’d rather build something better than complain about it. So I made my own version, where every person you reach is welcomed into the line.
How to play #
- Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD to move, Space to start or pause, P to pause, M to mute.
- Touch: swipe anywhere, tap to steer toward the tap, or use the thumb pad.
- Mouse: click where you want the pastor to go.
How it’s built #
It’s plain HTML, JavaScript, Canvas, and Web Audio. There are no frameworks, no build step, and no image or audio files. Everything you see and hear is made in code.
