About the game
Pilgrims of a Solar Deity is a fast first-person shooter by solo developer Ritabrata Maiti, made in Godot: you jetpack between floating islands, clear the drones guarding each Shrine, and chase a Rank against par.
It started as my Kenney Jam 2026 entry and got an Honorable Mention out of 568 entries. Now I'm turning it into a full game.
- 30 short timed Rites per run, ranked S to C against par
- A jetpack with a fuel gauge: cross gaps, hover, reposition mid fight
- 18 guns across six classes
- Six drone types, plus hybrids built from random parts
- Shareable seeds, so everyone can play the same run
- Six times of day and an inked comic look
