Each stage in Parhelia contains 4 acolytes to rescue. Since the game is themed around gods, I decided to have all humans in the game obscure their faces somehow (later ones will wear masks, for example).

Made a start on Parhelia's 'world select' screen, which has you gradually turning over cards to reveal new temples.

At some points in the game you'll hit these high speed sections. They're a ton of fun to design!!

I've added a few non-linear stages to Parhelia. In this one you have to locate & ignite torches to proceed.
Also, the first gameplay demo will be available on the 26th of May via itch.io!

Finally at the point where I can decorate levels. It's a lot of fun as some things are given context on the fly. This part ended up as a temple entrance.
