Masterpiece! The graphics and atomsphere are execellent fit for the background story, along with the super fun and innovative gameplay. 5 stars definitely.

I have been tracking your feed after this LD started, can't imagine you can make a drawing game in this unique way! Your game is well polished and within the great music and game environment, drawing is also fun now!
That's sad that there is no feedback after the ending, it let me feel like something is missing. A simple text describing what happened after I decided my choice is already enough and it will let me feel this game is completed!
In my opinion, if you don't give players the right to choose the ending, then I will feel this game is completed. However, if you let players to choose but you don't give any feedback, then it disappointed the player!
@goldranger If you choose "I will" in the end, you may notice some differences in the Home screen.That's the ending of the story. However, I think it's not quite noticeable.
Hahah nice!! I had fun with this! Sadly neither of my 3 creations were deemed worthy.
So curious how you grade the sacrifices in the game! Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.30.58 PM.png Screen Shot 2018-12-03 at 10.28.34 PM.png
clever game. How does it determine what is / is not a worthy sacrifice?
Capture.PNG God doesnt like my clown :(
Oh my answer is "No" haa :smiling_imp: and I am expecting scene like the villages I saved die in front of me :joy:
This is a really interesting idea. No idea how to actually make a sacrifice that will be accepted though. Also, as I use a laptop touchpad, I don't actually have a mouse wheel. So I can't zoom or rotate or anything. It's a really nice concept though.
Painting was pretty sick in the game, but my imagination died so fast through the game
TIMεΎη20181204133319.png Looks like the god didn't like my twin-tail girl πππ No need to talk about how much fun the game is, just as the same as they said above, after send the work, if there was more hints would help players know God's taste, then next time we can fix the mistake instead of blind testing again.
A super funny and very well made game. I would liked a bit more control over mud tool. Overall a great LD game. Well done.
Like some of the others, try as I might I just couldn't save the poor villager. That was certainly an experience though.
this is so fun im keeping it downloaded!
The presentation is great! Especially love the smooth camera movements.
As it is my field of expertise, I will just comment on the audio side of things: although the music is a bit midi-sounding, it manages to give a perfect creepy and mysterious vibe to the game. Love that!
The sound effects are not very well mixed. They are too loud compared to the music. The mud-placing sound effect has a lot of low bass to it. For an action you take a lot of times in the game this can be a bit irritating. There is also a noticable click after every mud-placing sound effect. Make sure your samples are fading out at the end. In general the sacrifice scene is also a bit too loud compared to the initial scene.

It might be overkill to think about it for such a short jam, but could be useful to you in future projects.
It took me a while to realize how to pass level 1 :D. I liked the overall mood and dark atmosphere of the game. Sadly I have to admit this is not my cup of tea but I think you did amazing job! Keep it up man!
I don't care that I could not appease the god's. This game was great. I really enjoyed creating monsters that would stare the gods in the face before they were sacrificed. I am very curious who will be the first to appease the gods.
Amazing, unintentionally funy.
Incredible game! I finally figured out how to appease the gods (just follow the dots and only the dots), but the 10 minutes of fumbling around before that were hilarious.
Very cool idea! I also couldn't please the god but it was fun.
Nice game! Very unique concept and idea and great execution. Love it!
So much creativity in the comments here :D, so much possibilities with this game ! Had fun with it :)
The mood in this game is great and I love the Majora's Mask style sacrifice music.. It took me a while to figure out that I was trying to match the clay to the guides on the head; I kept trying to add ears and a nose to the first sacrifice.
I love the artistic style this game was cool.
I've tried to do few sacrifices but none were worth it! sacrifice.jpg
Like others pointed out, the mood is great and I love how creative you can get with it! Also, big plus for the polishing level on doll creation and music that fits perfectly.
Awesome entry!
Cute and innovative, but I couldn't find how to get any of my sacrifices to be accepted. The sound design was great too !
What an aesthetic game!! I actually bookmarked your page in order to come back, and I'm not disappointed.. I had a fun time playing around with this game. I bet you will get one of the highest scores in the mood-category. Good luck, I hope to see you in the next Jam. Have a nice day :D
Awesome aesthetic in this crazy and awesome idea!
I never got a sacrifice to work. Bother this god.
Why didn't you opt-out of the "humor" category? This seems like more of a serious game than a funny one.
It looks like the Gods didn't take my balding old drunkard :(

Pretty fun. I had a lot of fun messing around for a bit in the game.
Nice entry! I really like the concept of this game, and I think the amount of polishing is very impressive for a compo game. I had fun playing this game!
Very good, the edition could be better but in general it's a really good game, and it's an original idea, good job.
Really nice entry :D none of my proxy human were accepted tho :(
Funny and eerie at the same time. Well done! How should I shape my sacrifice for it to be accepted?
Great fun and this is a very cool digital toy!
So happy to fool the gods! Finally!
