Cargo cult is a name given to several religions. There are many cargo cults in Melanesia and New Guinea. These religions are started when tribal societies come into contact with Western civilisation. When the first contact happened, the tribespeople saw Western manufactured goods, like radios. These things are called cargo. The tribespeople did not know how the manufactured goods worked nor how they were made.

They imitate the behaviour they saw the Westerners do, in the hope that some spirits will send them more cargo. In other cases, such as on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu, cult members worship Americans who brought the cargo.[1]

The game don't load for me, but the idea seems promising. I suggest that you upload the game to a page like Itch.io, and paste the link in the Ludum Dare submission.

Fun game! I like the music and the dancing tribe.
How much % do you need to win? I got 88% and I lost.
Great lose animations as well.
Also on the this page the web game doesn't work for me. It's stuck on the loading bar. But it works on itch.

A fun well worked out game! Took a couple tries, but it's a fun concept that works well! Good job :)

Very unique take on the theme. I haven't heard about cargo cults before. I liked the vibe: palm trees, chill music, dudes dancing around the pile of boxes resemling an airplane.

The physics and scoring worked fine for me, but I would maybe prefer if airplane shapes were a little bit smaller. I got just below 90% and starting from scratch didn't feel that good.

Great job!
