Thank you for this game!
Thanks a lot @ytaha Hahaha, nice strategy... I think this Artificial Intelligence is not that smart... haha
Hi @niarkou thanks a lot! I'm very glad you liked. I recorded a timelapse when I was developing the game, I'll post here soon
Hi @pandacodemaster thank you very much. I'm so glad you liked! My original idea was to make a multiplayer game, but unfortunatelly I hadan't time. But I'm thinking in add this feature in a post jam version
Thanks a lot @666, I'm thinking about improve this game with some features, like multiplayer.
Thanks a lot for playing my game!
Thanks @arvejeitor
@diego-burgos thank you, Unfortunately I had just a short time to work on AI, so the others characters of game looks a little confusing.
Thanks @zozer Yes, I worked alone and made all assets from scratch, as you can see in the timelapse video bellow. I had others ideas for the theme, who are more original and not so obvious, but I went to the simpler idea to finish in time.

I laughed when the god demanded human sacrifice and everyone suddenly starts killing each other :)
I found it a bit strange when I died and immediately respawned. First time it happened I wasn't sure what was going on, would be nice to have some visual indication for what's happening.
Thank you @matank you are right about visual indication when the player die. I'll work on this on a post jam version
However some few are hindering this game.
I sometimes get killed and spawn at the start little bit underground so I can't move. Maybe I got hit by others, but not entirely sure about that. Could use more feedback.
AI seems to drop a lot of stuff near the altar instead of properly sacrificing it. This leads to a lot of congestion. Camera bugs out sometimes when climbing to the altar and I can't see the character. The way up should be wider to relieve the congestion and maybe help with the camera problems.
Placing sacrifice at the altar picks stuff up from the ground at the same time. Mildly annoying.
Good sound, excellent art and very good game play.
I think it would be interesting to have a stamina and health bar, which are able to regenerate, so that the player has some indication on how often he can be hit by the other people and gets a better feeling for his and maybe others mortality.
Thanks @darkwing00duck :smiley:
Thanks @keppu Unfortunately I didn't had time to fix these bugs. It's hard to work alone and I think that my scope was too large
Thanks a lot @tgiant I'm so glad you liked!
@bella thanks a lot! I was planning to add this, like you suggested, but I couldn't manage this in the jam time. I'm thinking in release a new version with this features.
Hi @firesplash-entertainment thank you a lot! I saw your streaming video and I liked a lot. I saw the bugs you found and I'll work to fix then!
