Those controls are confusing especially those last 3 I would suggest showing them all the time somewhere on the screen. I like the atmosphere you have created sound drones and color palette and world design fit each other. That being said I'm lost on the first obstacle no clue wtf I should do none of those buttons does anything... (i have playied itch.io version)
My bad! I've made fullscreen optional in itch.io so the controls are there permanently. I've also added a hint for the first obstacle :)
YES. I really like this game. This games greatest strength is that it feels complete. A lot of games feel like they clearly had more to them that got left on the cutting room floor not this game it feels finished. I mean I really like the cool demom heads showing up when sacrificing, and stuff. The only critisim I have is that I wish there was a little more in it content wise, but if I got that wish I imagine it would end up sacrificing the finished feel of the game.
That is some pretty good game jam entry. It's perfectly themed in my opinion and works very well, the art is pretty neat too. And the sounds give a dark atmosphere to it. Great job!

Cant seem to understand what to do in the begginning, i can move
Very nice little game, the graphics are absolutely awesome and the sound quite immersive. I would have loves more complicated puzzles not based on the good ol' die and retry "feature". Excellent entry anyway !

Controls are a bit weird, nice ending. Would like more puzzle and more things to sacrifice.
Heh, that got really dark really quick. And quickly i did not care for the occupation of the sacrifices. Really puts in perspective what you are doing in order to achieve your objectives. The graphics and sounds were on point for the theme and the gameplay mechanics works like a charm.

Really cool game! Nice dark humor
Dude, this was amazing! I enjoyed my playthrough a lot. I forgot it was made for the jam and just enjoyed playing it. The glitchy graphics, the intense audio and visuals, the humor, the dark and impactful ending... loved it all.
My most highly rated game of this jam!
Really good compo entry, especially as a first try, and I think the aesthetic worked well even though you seem worried about a clash.
Nice take on the theme, and I always like puzzle platformers that skew more towards the puzzle than the platformer. (and those aren't *really* animals, right? because you don't get duck paramedics...)

Wow was this game moody! You nailed the creepy vibe you were going for. I got goosebumps from that first sacrifice. Very nicely done! Excellent first compo entry!
I liked a lot the game, good job ! well play for the timelapse ! creepy as i like ! Excellent compo !
The mood in this game is amazing! the atmosphere that you created was, just..., WOW. I also liked the descriptions next to the animals, it made me laugh more times than I'd like to admit. Although it didn't really feel like i had to think about what animal I needed to sacrifice. If you add that a bit more, the game would be perfect! Nice job!
Great game! I really loved the atmosphere of the game. It's simple, but polished very well. Also, the ending was just amazing; it gave me a very creepy feeling.
Awsome. Thanks for the memorable experience.

Hey, it's pretty great. Loved the concept and the mood, everything fits nicely. Well done!
I don't always have nightmares but if i have one tonight i know who to blame lol, I wont forget the pop up face for awhile. I like how the sacrifices have job listings. "do i want to sacrifice this duck thts a single mother of three?
