@corhoonx Thanks! That was the surprise for me too. I almost added a big explosion, but the silence did more. Going to keep the SFX minimal for the finale. 🌌

The ultimate spell is in. 🌌

Galaxy Tour: a purple portal opens under every enemy and they slide silently into the ground.

No screams, no explosion. Somehow creepier than I planned. 👀

@EgeMustafaCelik Exactly, Dark Orb stays your main tool the whole run. Right now it's more of a feel thing: kills feed the counter and the spell unlocks. A proper charge bar with progress is planned in the UI pass, so players can see it fill.

Crimson Requiem devlog 👾

5 waves, 7 spells, 4 sky-rain hazards: the full loop is playable. 5 enemy types are in, and today the boss joined the arena. Slow, massive HP, and devastating if it reaches the line.

Next: add spawns and the ending.

@EgeMustafaCelik Good question! Spells cost charges, and you only earn one by killing 10 enemies with your basic Dark Orb. Every spell also has a 15s cooldown, so you can't spam any of them. The strongest one is only worth casting at the right moment.

[Charan Reddy @cvcreddy]

@DungeonOfYear Thanks! The red line is the heart of the game, so glad it reads clearly 🔥

Devlog: sky-rain hazards for The Crimson Requiem 🌧️🔥

Smoke rises for 3s... then a random hazard crashes down on that spot. It hits enemies AND Yami, so use it or get burned by it.

Data-driven: new hazard = new asset.

[Charan Reddy @cvcreddy]

Happy accident in my Unity game: the hit shake was wired to burn damage, so the whole 5s fire spell is now one long violent rumble. Didn’t plan it, not changing it. 🔥
The Crimson Requiem, spell 6 of 7 (the ultimate is next).

@rohanpoundarik There are definitely fair tells built in! It doesn’t just blindly punish you. A sharp player can absolutely catch the variation on their first run if they don't auto-pilot their muscle memory.

[Charan Reddy @cvcreddy]

People are saying they can't even last 60 seconds against these traps. Prove them wrong. 👇

The Crimson Arc V2 is live.

10 Voids. One Egg. Zero Mercy.

I spent 2 weeks conditioning players to trust patterns.
Then I built 10 levels to break that trust.

There's something waiting underneath the final level.

@Latiencur Let’s gooo! You’ve got this! 😂 Hands down the best compliment a rage game dev can get. Don't let the Voids win, I need to see your name on that global leaderboard! 🥚🚀

[Latiencur @Latiencur]

Put yourselves to the test, because it's genuinely addictive 🔥🔥🔥

And even being as clumsy as I am, I'm hooked, I have to make it to one minute, or I'll get seriously depressed 😂😅🥲😭

@PlayGameGen Death count is part of the game now — it affects your Aura score that competes directly against mine. The more you die, the stronger I get. As for what's underneath... you'll have to survive first 😈.

Devlog 22: The Final Level. "Crimson Arc Void" 🛑

Red on red. Non-stop horizontal blocks.
Zero room for error. The ultimate test of muscle memory.

And There will be Something waiting for you Underneath .

Can you spot the pattern? 👇🎮

Devlog 21: Level 9 "Bleach Void" 🌪️🤍

Died 20 times just playtesting this one. Added rotating red blocks for decoration, but the real danger is as chaotic as ever.

Can you beat it? 👇🎮

Devlog 20: Level 8 "Mugen Void". 🌌🔊

Pure sensory warfare. Invisible blocks. A 0.6s reaction window.

The loop: Hear the 'whoof' SFX ➡️ Guess ➡️ Dodge. Auto-pilot won't save you here. 👇🎮

Next up level 9 and 10 -> Bleach Void and Crimson arc void The Finale

Devlog 19: Level 7 "Molten Void"

If you thought you had my patterns figured out, think again. This map is built to shatter your focus.

4 twin-pair blocks moving in a zigzag pattern—except the last pair waits until the final second to move.

Devlog 18:The Crimson Arc

"How To Trick and Egg"

Level 6 : Hollow Purple. 🟪

It's a lesson in visual misdirection.

Decoys lure your eyes to the top while your blind spot gets targeted below.

Devlog 17: "13 Jumps || Most of them are Lies." 🧠

Level 5 is pure psychological warfare. I’m testing the player's patience by weaponizing bluffs. If they panic and spam jumps, they fail. patience is main enemy.

Built in 1.5 hours thanks to early planning! 👇🎮
