Those Blessed Few

Create your indestructable army of Meeblings in this reverse-bullet-hell roguelike

THOSE BLESSED FEW by Studio Meebly

The peaceful Sea of Souls has been invaded by sinister enemies, and the meeblings have decided to take fate into their own hands.

Move the arrow with WASD or the arrow keys, meeblings will automatically follow it.

Meeblings shoot at the nearest target automatically. When you need to target a specific enemy, get close, but stay out of their attack range! Free more Meeblings by shooting at cages. The larger your army, the stronger you are!

Every enemy defeated will drop a soul, which a Meebling can pick up. When you level up after collecting enough souls, you can choose one of 3 cards, which contain useful upgrades or spells.

There are 6 stats which can be upgraded:
Attack: higher attack will increase damage against enemies, and increase the power of your spells.
Speed: The arrow and Meeblings will move faster upon upgrading the speed stat. Meeblings will also move more in-sync with a higher speed stat.
Cooldown Reduction: The more CDR, the faster your Meeblings will attack! Having maximum CDR will also allow the "Amount" stat to be upgraded.
Amount: How many projectiles the Meeblings shoot at once.
Bounce: All projectiles that don't pass through enemies will bounce into a random direction once per upgrade level.
Health: The amount of hits a Meebling can take before breaking. Upgrading the Health stat will also fully heal all of your Meeblings.

With more stats coming in following updates!

Spells are powerful attacks that can be manually activated with the G, H, V or B keys, or the Face buttons on a controller. Spells can help you out in situations where regular attacks may not, such as by dealing massive damage, or by hitting through multiple enemies.

There is much to explore in the Sea of Souls, so gather your army and free the world from your enemies's tyranny!
