Cool game! You did very well to incoporate the theme and it was fun to play. Also plus for making a html5 web version, always nice to be able to play without installing something.
The controls, especially the hit detection could be a bit better and after the first wave I was unsure what to do now, since the pickup mechanic is not explained. But I figured it out. My final score was 50, is that any good? :-)

Cool game. A bit of action, a bit of tactics. Good job!

@tomdeal 50 is pretty good for the first time! I've seen lower lol. Once you understand all the mechanics of the game you can get to some massively high scores if you try to optimize.

Nice! A Fun experience overall. Feedback: It was reaally easy to lose my character in the mayhem. I also felt like I couldn't reliably hit the enemies, and wished I was more powerful. Like Dynasty Warrirors for example.

@wdelvi Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! it definitely could use a better way to see your character. It is meant to be more tactical that combat heavy, maybe I should make that more clear somehow

Very fitting for the theme, I like the detail that you actually have to carry the victims for the sacrifice and do it yourself, makes it a bit more impactful. The fights had a nice feel to them but it was very hard to see my character mid fights

Love the Binding of Isaac visuals and stabbing never felt so real. Good job.

Graphics are really nice and expressive (Like on the sacrificing slab). Well done! I'm not very tactical though so it was pretty hard for me! Haha

Nice game, I'm a big McMillen fan myself and loved your style. I got to 105 score points and got totally alone, so I can't sacrifice anybody (not even myself, would've be something) Good job!

Thank you all for the kind words!

If anyone is interested, I just released a blog post explaining how all of art in the game is procedurally generated from nothing. Check it out!

Nice procedural art! Interesting concept.

Cool game. I found that the easiest way to survie a long time is to sacrifice low life continuously to get 3 more fighter. And between two attack you can sacrifice 2 or 3 low life at the same time.
And the eyes are so expressive when you gonna sacrifice a guy.

Nice game and insightfull guide on how to make the drawing!
A nice use of procedural generation I would say. I am a sucker for the Isaac-like faces.
