The first contact with the game is gorgeous, with the otherworldly graphics and music transporting me into a warped version of a \"Shadow-of-the-Colossus-y\" holy land. And while I love your implementation of a die and retry mechanic, I wish it wasn't so hard to see the end, especially when the visual narration is so nice.\n\nPros : \n- Breathtaking graphics and artistic direction\n- The music really gives personality to your vision of a \"holy land\"\n- The writing and the voice of the gods - makes you want to try them all !\n- Tough but rewarding Die and Retry concept\n- Tight platforming controls\n\nCons : \n- \"Balance - at this point gets a big \u2018XD\u2019\"\n- Some more visual feedback would help a lot (not always sure what hurts and what does not)\n\nAll in all, an excellent job. Can't wait to see what this could become, or what you'll do next.","likes":5,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Fede","author_uid":"1126338","time":"2018-12-04T09:59:54Z","epoch":1543917594,"modified":1543917594,"text":"Awesome art and concept!

It didn't always give me the option to sacrifice when I needed too, took a couple of hits in the beginning with the bird to get the sacrifice menu.

You can tell this is unfinished, there is definitely a lot of stuff missing and\/or sort-of half there, but that's also sort of understandable since it seems like you guys tackled quite a lot (especially for a first time game!).  Since you didn't get to implement everything, I think it would help to detail some of your intentions in your game description so that we can at least see where you were going with the mechanics -- I think some of it is a bit confusing as is since it's hard to tell what is unfinished and what is not.\n\nCongratulations on your first game!","likes":3,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/121599-4edee90237a3fdb4d5ec134a23fd3b77.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/ceeeeed.github.io\/LD-build\/","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Ceeeeed\/Ludum-Dare-43","text":"Source code"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"50822","g_author":"1121598","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"234116","g_title":"Esus","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"126","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"121599","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"121599","n_urlkey":"234116","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/esus","n_slug":"esus","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"121598","n_created":"1542281234","n_modified":"1543894385","n_version":"401241","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":121599,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":121598,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-12-04T02:32:15Z","created":"2018-11-15T11:27:14Z","modified":"2018-12-04T03:33:05Z","version":401241,"slug":"esus","name":"Esus","body":"![t\u0142o.png](\/\/\/raw\/efa\/d1\/z\/1e2f1.png)\nOur first LD ends successfully.
