I agree with the above comment that it's difficult to fully understand what I need to do. Having said that, I did appreciate how the game revealed itself over the first couple minutes. I ended up getting an item that I wasn't sure how to use, so I looked at the source code and I guess it's a goat skull. Not sure if it has any bearing on the game. Also seemed like I ended up fighting the same hooded figure in the dungeon that gave me the spells on the surface. Was the intent to defeat him? I wasn't sure what the end goal was. Also not sure what to do with my seeds as the planting doesn't seem to have too much effect. In any case, impressed with the scope here. Nice job.

This game is amazing !
I love the bit of plot at the begginning, it really grabbed my attention and made the characters very lively ! The gameplay itself is nice, going back and forth between the farm and the underground is cool. The variety of spells available is good too.
Congrats for this great entry !

I like the unexpected dungeon! Nice sprite work as well. Some real basic sound effects would go a long way for the experience here.

Great Work! I think with some animations and sound effects this could be awesome!

It's nice, the combats are well made and it feels like there is a lot of content. I didn't understand what was the objective though or what the seeds were for. I didn't feel the need to make sacrifices either.

Catacombs were pretty cool, but I ran out of things to do pretty fast, and Q didn't seem to work for sacrificing additional goats once I resurfaced.

I like the art. Firstly I thought this would be a farm game till I enter the underground dungeon.
ps.Quick click between a same sheep and press the Q can sacrifice multi-times of a same sheep.

Nice game, but it is missing some kind of goal (or I just didn't understand the goal). Quite relaxing to play, I like it.

Cool game! Love the initial story - quite easy on the controls. A sound effect or two would have added a lot. :)
There seems to be no 'ending' yet. Also would love for the spells to actually kill skeletons / do more, now my powers felt a bit feeble.
The goat sacrifice vs health was cool, but had plenty of goats :)
