Punching trees and stones felt tedious and time consuming, also sometimes tyradine bars were demanded but I could not find a stone within the given time to find an ore to craft it.
A few bugs I encountered:
- After sacrificing materials, the UI did not update properly and sometimes left me confused
- sacrificing two sheeps quickly after each other results in a funny text display
- the flute is really loud (or intended? :^))
- after losing, I could not play the game again, although I pressed the play button as hard as I could
- I placed down a workbench and tried to place a furnace, the blueprint spawned inside the workbench and did not let me build it.
- the pickaxe did not increase the damage on stones (maybe this is a wrong expectation from me)
Anyways had a replay with that in mind, hit a few bugs, but all in all i had a good time! nice job :)
The music is nice :) The visuals simple but sufficient :)
I'll try again after being told how to sacrifice things! :)
Sorry for the mass ping, but I have worked hard on minimizing bugs, and would be very grateful for a replay! The game is now easier, more adapted for playing, and more importantly: largely works! I tried to squash all the bugs you guys named, and hopefully you can now experience the game I created for you. I'm sorry you had to see it in a rough a state as it was. Naturally, it all came down to two lines of code in the player :/
Good work!
What I've noted:
- Sound is TOO LOUD!
- Crafting shouldn't available on a button with an "option" logo
- I liked to sacrifice sheeps >:)
Anyway great job!
Impressive what you did within 72 hours!
To me (not a keyboard, mouse player) the controls felt a bit clunky (e.g. getting out of the crafting menue only with TAB, but not by just clicking outside).
Congratulations for such a large scope game!
Nice effort overall!
Thank you! I had extreme slowdowns with the fast gear when hitting 3+ objects at once. But it didn't crash yaay!
I think the music is really fitting and great for this game! First I was wondering why it didn't loop perfectly, but when playing for like 30 minutes, it's okay to have a bit of silence after a while.
You need iron bars and blue bars so often, I wish you could create multiple at a time. The green and red gems were almost never used although they almost take as much effort to get as the blue ones. Are the totems and books/pages useful for anything else but sacrifices?
I wish you would get some kind of punishment for sacrificing sheep, hence the name. Because in the late game I was going back and forth between sacrificing sheep during the process of creating a blue gem bar.
Now that I think about it.. could I have built more than one of each gadget/workbench?
God if done right, these kinda games really suck me in haha.
Thanks!

Well done!
