I can't quite figure out the right balance, so I keep losing very quickly. Nice art, and a good fit for the theme.

Cool game! With some thinking to it. I always like when a game is mixed with a good story, and mythology is great for that. It fits the theme perfectly too. Maybe I would have tried to help the player a little bit more but I know it's hard to do in a jam game. Great work team!

This was interesting. Managed to beat it second try.

Love the graphics stile, though Anubis is a bit hard to read when he is not in the mood... he kind of always looks... mean.

Also the number of sacrifices to distribute seemed kind of... random.

@frank-gevaerts, best played with source code open! =) Jokes apart, yeah, game design turned out to be a terrible black box this time. Thank you for checking it out!

@spacemonkey, I really wanted to add some kind of tips on hover, but Morpheus was stronger. =D Thanks for playing!

@hilvon, wow, this is impressive! And now I have a proof that it's not unbeatable. =) The number of souls isn't the most random thing in the game. The rule is pretty simple: the better the life is, the less souls you got. Pity I didn't manage to make it clear for a player.

As for Anubis, well, I think, he's always not in the mood. =) Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it.

Wasn't able to fit the right balance. Not sure what 'm doing wrong, but I found the game compelling and the art great!

Interesting concept! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/8e_nn2L0xnc

I might be late to the party but still: Here's my experience with "Soulmart": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZuUnksM0WM

Praise the gods! Finally, a game I can practice my sacrifices to all those pesky deities! I'm a fan of your art design on this! I feel with a little added feedback or initial hand holding and this would be truly fantastic. Great job on this! Keep it up :D
