Hi, I tried download the game but the link gives me a weird XML error.

Sorry to hear that @g12345. It doesnt happen for me or some others I have talked to. Can you give me more info?

Thanks, I've got it downloaded with help from IRC.

Somehow NoScript was blocking cross-site loading thing.

I also don't see a releases directory in the github, but going there directly somehow does reveal a page...

Thanks, will play it later.

Not sure if it's just me but the game is in window mode and its super big. I can't change it's size and I see just a small part of the gameCapture.PNG

Hm, my game is also stuck as a window and bigger than my screen! But I managed to play it anyways.

Several suggestions: (1) I would appreciate a "start" button or some other mechanism (at least start the timer once you start to move, not when the game just loaded), (2) for me, the red stones were way too frequent, not allowing much of exploring :/

Besides that it's a very interesting game, I do like having to collect two colours of gems to combine them, falling through the platforms down the tunnel and avoiding the shards. :) It's good that they also have a sound so that you are warned ahead!

The game is also larger than my screen but I can manage for the most part.

Of course everything being samey is a bit hard to follow. It's even made harder if some of the gems are located off screen.

I've managed to sacrifice once, but the second time I arrived there the cauldron is gone and I have no idea where to sacrifice.

The idea is nice. And a timer, and a partial missing screen, and samey rooms with disappearing cauldrons makes the game really a challenge!

Ahh dang, I need to remember not to target 1920x1080 next time... have a 4k monitor and forgot most people don't :P
