I love the mchanics, its so good! Good job!

jmarkohun 2018-12-05 00:09

Good game, you should put some screenshots in the post

tanis 2018-12-05 00:10

It took me a bit to understand how it works. The graphics is nice and it's actually entertaining once you get the hang of it

budark 2018-12-05 00:18

With this nice game you should post some screenshots of it. Cause this is a jam, if it was not I wouldn't enter to test it

Great game. I love the artwork and the gameplay is interesting too. It'd be nice if there was a menu button or escape exited, as I had to brute force quit. I like that there's a tutorial.

I clicked on the tutorial button but I wasn't sure I actually got a tutorial because it felt like I just hopped into the game; and it didn't explain really how to do anything. I got the gist of what was going on, very reigns like; I managed to get all my god to max support but my people lived in extreme fear and I lost... ah well such is the life of a cult ruler. Interesting game, I think it fits the theme well, but I would have liked more to do than just make offering, especially since you offered an expansion screen with lots of stuff to potentially click on.

Nice draws, but it's a bit confusing and the "tutorial" button doesn't work (at least for me) so I didn't get very well what is my propose on the game :P

wyattis 2018-12-05 00:37

I wasn't sure what to think the first time through. The second time through I loved it though! I made level 43. Can anyone get higher than me? day 42.png

Great job!

wyattis 2018-12-05 00:39

I did notice a minor bug with the overlays as well. Looks like they might not be destroyed correctly. overlay bug.png

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:04

@wyattis Thanks for comments! The bug it is! I plan to actually put many new events inside the prototype - outside of jam, of course=) So, if you like the game - let's stay in touch=)

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:06

@giustitia you are right... I just was not able to add tutorial in the time frame. I will post instructions in the post, so people can still understand the rules. Thanks!

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:12

@izunah Appreciate you comments=) Yup, much more was planned, like expansion of the temple, or timer based (snap) decisions. I think, I will slowly implement them afterwards.

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:13

@scottgoldsmith - good idea about exit button! For the tutorial - the pop ups kind of explain what is going on. Thanks!

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:14

@budark Thanks for the suggestion, done it!

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:14

@budark Thanks for the suggestion, done it!

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 11:18

@tanis, @keldy, @scottgoldsmith, @jmarkohun thanks for the comments! Do you have suggestions - what else would fit the game - which mechanics? I was thinking on adding later temple expansion and timer based choices. Thanks!

yaroslav-kravtsov 2018-12-05 12:55

This game can be played forever Cult.png

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-05 13:02

@yaroslav-kravtsov yup, the balance is unbalanced, unfortunately + small amount of events

itsjustjord 2018-12-06 23:54

Very well done! I was a bit confused at first but got there in the end, solid entry! :)

untitled-studios 2018-12-06 23:59

Super fun! Art is BEAUTIFUL! Unfortunately a small amount of events and a couple typos and bugs hold it back.

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-07 00:23

@untitled-studios @itsjustjord thanks for the comments!! I know, there are just few events. If you are interested - please check game in several days, I will post (hopefully=)) balanced and playable version=)

ballo 2018-12-07 00:32

reminds me of Reigns, love the theme and would love to play more

awix 2018-12-07 08:44

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

subtlydramatic 2018-12-07 22:06

I really like the art for this! Great design. I would like to see a way to quit the game though! This has a lot of potential post-jam. Way to go!

alexkishchinskiy 2018-12-08 12:32

@subtlydramatic Thanks for encouragement! The quite option - yes - that is good suggestion. Again - many times I was irritated by lack of quit option in other LD games and left mine without it=)=) I actually polishing jam version to test it with full pack of events - to decide about it's future=) If you want - I can notify you when it's ready;)
