​Another peaceful day draws to a close on the island.

As high priest, the tribespeople always gather at this time to listen to you deliver the word of the volcano god.

Often, these tales are ones of happiness, of helping those in need and filling your heart so full of love that no hate can enter it. Tales the tribespeople remember for generations.

But tonight, they'll remember you for a different reason.

A&D/Left&Right: Move

Space: Pick up/throw

Made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 43 "Sacrifices Must be Made".

WebGL version has some timing issues with the music tracks, please download the binaries for the optimal experience!

All other models, art, music and sound effects were created during the 72-hour Jam.

Thanks for playing!

Really funny and fitting game! I like the heavy metal music and a mix of 3D world with 2D sprites even with the lighting.

I did find it kind of difficult picking up the sprites however, and the lava particles would obliterate what I was carrying.

TASTY!

Music is on point, the graphics are great, game plays great and is fun.

If I had any remark it's that sometimes it's hard to see what I'm picking up, maybe the problem is not there on full screen.

Love it! Maybe it's a little hard to differentiate what are you picking. But I really love this game.

I didn't see anything broken. The 3d environment and pixel art look good and go well together. The mechanic is simple to understand and the controls responsive. Both the music and sfx are pleasant. I chuckled. Excellent job!

This is the best game I played so far. It's great that the game has such a high speed. The voice, art and the sound do the rest. Really good job! I could think this game would profit a lot from a coop or versus mode. So two player try to combine sacrifices or play against each other.

Daaaamn. This game is awesome. I love the music, love the efects! It's a little hectic, but thats cool with me. If a have to write a negative thing so you can improve. It's the camera movement. It's not easy to see what you should pick up. Overall a great game.

I think the volcano may be a metalhead. Great artwork! The indicator sticks out a little bit but it's no biggie.

This game is really fun, and looks and sounds good too. I wanted to complain that it was hard to determine which object was which, but then I noticed the hint above the volcano.

Really innovative and well made, only thing i can complain about is that although the graphics look nice it's sometimes very hard to distinguish the different sacrifices from another.

Tight, polished and fun experience, good job guys!

I really liked the camera work, it was call running up and down the hill and then zooming in.

Sprites combined with the lighting looks amazing.

I liked the screen shake and falling rocks.

Voice over for the volcano was another great addition.

The game was really fun to play. The music and the sound effects work really nice. The artwork is fantastic and fits well the theme. Overall I love to run around and throwing people into the volcano XD. Nice job ;)

Yeeah, flawless audio and presentation really! The pixel art meshed very well with the low poly graphics too, and great lighting work for it. I like how the music starts out kinda nice and chill and then quickly becomes very metal.

The gameplay is definitely fun, it probably wouldn't stretch beyond a 5-10 minute game but it doesn't need to.

Nice game! liked the mix of 2D and 3D. And the volcano! My game has a volcano too! :D

And an extra point for that Simpson reference on the title xD

Great job! The game definitely got "juiciness", the whole package has a great mood! Provides a nice gameplay experience!

Nice and juicy, and the soundtrack was rocking. Was a little hard to tell different objects to sacrifice from another but I guess that's part of the gameplay. Great fun!

Perhaps this was the intended experience and once I got my bearings it did not feel as hectic but starting off the gate the game was too fast to get going without allowing me time to even know where I was. I though it was a first person perspective game because the 3D graphics closest to the screen stood out more than the 2D images that appeared to be backgrounds characters and the bar feels like it feels up faster than I had time to understand what was being asked. :)

Again, these are all the immediate thoughts because of how quickly the games goes from 0 to 100 mph, but once I had an understanding of what was going on I was able to quickly follow instructions and finish the game. Though the theme usage is a bit too dark for my taste, I do like the blend between 2d/3d assets, the animations are fluid, and the sound is engaging.

Amazing. We had similar idea, but you executed that much simpler and better!
