## Description

_Bill the Demon_ is a side-scrolling platformer. The player is a Demon called
‘Bill’, who wants to impress the other Demons by getting an autograph from the
Devil. In order to do so he has to pass all nine circles of hell.

Other than you would expect from a Demon, Bill has no special skills or
attacks, he can’t even attack. He has a paralyzing shout which buys some time
to flee from enemies or destroys some unstable walls. Over time or when
shouting Bill becomes hungry and needs to eat human souls. Human souls are
placed in the levels and can be consumed to refill he hunger bar. In addition,
the player gets one extra life for every 25 souls consumed. This hunger
feature forces the player to keep Bill moving, because otherwise he will die
of starvation.

There are several kinds of monsters on the way through the nine circles of
hell, e.g. monsters coming out of the ground or large, flying eyes. After
finishing one circle of the hell, the player gets a code which can be used to
reload at the beginning of the cycle with exactly the same stats he had when
reaching it.There are several checkpoints in the levels where Bill respawns
after dying. The game is lost when Bill has no more lives left.
