The art is super nice :) Played for a little while and maxed out the stars and it didn't seem to be going anywhere from there / felt like i could go on forever. Is there a way to win?

@toboggan Ah yes, Sadly I didn't get time to put in enough hints, but there are two ways to win. One of them involves trying to sacrifice yourself.

This was right on point. Loved everything about it. The Orb is a little OP, I had a good time carrying it with me as I slowly tossed everything towards the God of Light. Unsure whether I encountered a glitch, but after achieving 5 stars, nothing happened. I ended up getting the "secret ending" though. :wink:

All in all, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had a lot of fun playing, but I couldn't figure out how to get out of the cave. The art is great though. I did get the suicide ending, haha!

Stunning art work! And good humor too! :D Awesome little game you made there!

@toboggan and @doctormozart The game was indeed broken. One of the endings was not working due to a stupid error on my part. Thankfully there was still time left in the jam and I've fixed it! Plus put in a few more hints in the conversations.
Thanks for playing! I'll check out your games too as soon as I finish getting some sleep.

The art and soundtrack are amazing! You should go on with this project.

Just tried it out again. Was able to get all the endings this time around! Thanks for fixing it up.:)

Very beautiful and kind of peaceful game. Very nice I enjoyed playing it, wish it could be longer. Congratulations !

The dialog in this game is impressive, really humorous!
Art design and music are amazing.
I didn't figure out how to win at first and brought a lot of stuff to the altar...
Anyway, a nice little game, I like it.

Really nice game. The music and the art was nicely done, and I enjoyed playing the game. Great job!^^

Beautiful game :)

I like the music.

A really good game on all points. I liked the fact that it was easy to understand the principle of the game without anyone explaining it to me. The idea of using light as the basis for gameplay is interesting. My only regret is that the game was too short, but 72 hours is short!

I. LOVED. IT.

Wonderful entry! The music was fun and the mechanics slow but not tedious. Particularly enjoyed the dark humour and cute character animations. Overall well polished and possibly my favourite game so far :)

The light mechanic reminds me of my first Ludum Dare entry http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-26/?action=preview&uid=21581

...Which apparently all my old LD links are dead for but it has been scraped by a bunch of flash game sites haha

this game was soooo good. The turt ending is the best in my opinion xD
verry nice graphics and the music is amazig.
it is so minimalistic but it has such a nice mood. had a lot of fun playing it. would love to see some more gods with different mechanics ;-D

Great game! Every aspect is brilliant. It's so fun I even ended up getting all the endings. The visuals are very well done, the music is really pretty, the dialogue is done right and the gameplay is simple but varies enough to make for a very interesting entry. Great job!

This was a solid little game, I enjoyed my time with it.

One thing I would change though: I think you die a little bit too early when the light circle is closing in. I think it would be cool if you died maybe a third of a second after you were in complete darkness, so if you manage to make it back to the altar in that tiny window of time, you will be even more relieved because you know how close to death you were.

@stames Having different God altars with different mechanics sounds really interesting, never thought of that! They'd have different personalities and dialogue and all that, I think it'll be hilarious.

@finn-truman Yeah I think you're right, dying instantly when the light disappears does seem rather jarring.

Pretty funny game, the Light God sure has some good lines. The music puts a relaxing atmosphere in your game, and joking about the theme of sacrifice was actually a pretty good idea. Although I prefer games with more gameplay, this one serves its purpose well. Good job!

Before i write anything, i want to say i really like it, especially the graphics. It feels round and pleasant, very good job. For me, feedback is most valuable regarding improvements, so i'll just write some stuff from a player perspective regarding gameplay.
The game is a bit too hard for me. I died about every 20s, without really being able to tell if i could make it, while going for the item i though was closest. Sometimes items are placed on each other, so that makes picking them difficult and i sometimes only brought poop back :D
After dieing so many times, the dialogue (while entertaining) is a hinderance, because i read it before already. The reset to 0 is a bit harsh, especially if i play not extremely careful. I would have expected to replenish my light on the light source in the dark, but it either did not replenish it, or it was not enough - in any case, i died when tring to go back from a light.

The graphics are fantastic, i really like it. Especially animations and mood/colors are great. The music is fitting and pleasant. I think a sound effect that indicates the smallness of the light could have been cool, or muffle the music when it gets dark - something like that.

Overall, very good entry :)

Pros:
- Simple but nice to look pixel art
- God but humor, ok thats what I like in these games :)
- Fits in to the theme

Cons:
- Some longer gameplay will be good

Overall:
Short but fun game :) I like that simple pixel art, its overall very well polished.

I really liked the humor in this game. There was a really fun atmosphere and mood to the game and the music and art had a really great style. That gold I gave him better be used to support his family though! The only negative was that the light orb item made the game too easy.

@rongo-matane I realized the dialogue can be annoying if you've already read it before, after each restart, so you can skip it instantly with Esc. But yeah, I should have been more careful about the intuitiveness of the light orb, it basically just prevents your light from decreasing when you're near it/ carrying it. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Fun game with good humor!

V cute

Cure art and relaxing music, funny texts and simple, addictive gameplay. I've just a little disappointed with strong influence of random to result.

A nice enjoyable few minutes trying out different things to get weird dialogue.
I don't think the theme was fully realized here. Sacrifices must be made implies intent that you shouldn't have to get ride of something usefully but in order to progress to must. Sacrificing the light orbs did this well, but everything else felt like trash I was supposed to get ride of.
All in all, a nice felt delivered 2D story.

@drlaserbeast Yeah, that's what I think too. I had plans to implement some enemies that you could use/throw stuff on, but being an inexperienced solo dev...Well, I ran out of time.
I will do better next time!

That was quite fun even though the gameplay wasn't all that engaging. The funny writing and the cute and polished sprite art made up for that! I had fun trying out the various objects and reading the god's reaction to them. I was quite surprised that he didn't appreciate the goat, though it kind of makes sense if you think about it haha. Some nice sound design would sure improve the game a lot.

The art is great, the music is even better and the writing is top notch.
I'd have loved to see more items (well, more dialogue, really). Deeper gameplay would be nice, but it's such a wonderful entry as it is anyway. I got all 3 endings and I was indeed sad to leave the God behind.

This was really good, I just wish it had more items and stuff to try around. The light orb was a good touch to help the player going further (that is, if you don't end up losing them :P) and I was actually amused that the goat did not go as well as I intended.

The graphics are also great and atmospheric, very good work!

This was such a great experience. I loved the humor and art style. A short game with a soul. Well done!

Cool game! I just got all endings :-P

Great game! I found it very satisfying to sacrifice things and the flavour text was excellent! The art as well was great, although the walking animation felt a lot like small hops. Overall it was a lot of fun to play!
