Howdy! We made a little game about attempting to upgrade a town and placate a bloodthirsty Eldritch God at the same time. This was my first Ludum Dare (I have another listed but was a non-factor on that team), as the main artist for our game. During the last day push we spent a lot of time trying to polish up the game a bit and keep it smooth, but forgot to add a decent tutorial, unfortunately. You'll find a brief overview of that below this nice little title card meant to entice you to play, and hopefully rate, our game :3 - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/43/hellhole

~ Welcome to mini-Tutorial ~ The goal of the game is to level up all your buildings to Level 5 (maximum), which gives the place enough strength to defeat the God (nice ending animation for this made by me). - To upgrade a building, you'll need enough Wood and Stone (which are created by the Quarry in the top left, and Lumber Mill in middle left (upgrading these will increase their production rates)). - Your total population (determined by level of the Town in the bottom right) will increase all buildings' production rates, BUT, having a lot of people requires a high-leveled Farm to keep them fed (bottom left).

If you hover over the ? in the top left, it will display your current resources, population, and your God Anger/Hunger levels. - God Hunger will increase by a scaling amount every turn, and can be reduced (to 0, if you so wish) by Sacrificing people at the Bridge (bottom middle) when they walk over it. Sacrificing will also raise the Madness Meter in the bottom left. Raising your Madness Meter to full will spawn the Tribal Pillars, which will automatically summon the God to destroy the town after a few days. - God Anger is the total God Hunger you have, plus the God Hunger you will acquire the next day. If it reaches 100, the God will briefly attack and de-level a building to 0 (and also adds 50 God Anger anyways). 5 God Attacks will cause the God to appear himself and end the game.

Good luck! And thanks for playing, you're so nice ;-;
