Totems & Gods by vladimirdlc

As a member of an expedition to foreing worlds, our MC find itself trapped falling in a misterious cave, it seems like the ruins of an ancient civilization, a worshipping sanctuary, or even something else... nothing is certain but, that the more you explore, the more of its secrets this cave unveils.

Music by the amazing Franklin Webber https://soundcloud.com/franklin-webber/sets/space Track: Strange-Transmission

Note 1: There are three endings in the game, Loop, Faith, Wisdom, and if you get stuck, just keep on jumping or restart (is not that long, sorry for the bugs and dead ends).
Note 2: To avoid missing plot, collect Faith and Wisdom in ORDER before endings.

Hi, this is Vector from the Victory Garden team! (posting under Solifuge's account)

This concept seemed like it could be pretty great! It was spooky and I like the painterly graphics. However, with the player's jump being so limited, and the sprite getting caught so often on the edge of ledges, it was a bit too hard. I easily got the 2nd log twice (and one of the endings), but it was really frustrating to try to jump those gaps over and over again (and I never got far enough to understand what the stat increases and decreases did).

I'd really love to play again if some of the level design were spruced up, though. It's a neat concept!

Nice graphic design, funny voice sounds :) The music really helps setting the mood, and it fits nice with the art style. Character-environment collision is a bit off though. Aside from that, great entry!

Really nice work, the graphics were fantastic, and the music was amazing. The sound effects though, were creepy as heck. Beautiful entry!

Incredibly awkward movement is the only thing holding this platforming adventure back. Other than that, it's very impressive. The graphical style looks good and is very fitting, the music and sfx are strangely haunting and the story elements are well presented.

Does the music add layers as the player gets more records? It felt kind of like that was the case. Really enjoyed the music. Also liked the art. Controls were floaty though, led to some frustrating moments. All in all nice work.

@pjchardt It doesn´t, but depending on player progression an speed, it may give that effect.
Glad you enjoyed the game :)
