Quite fun but a bit repetitive ! Good realisation overall. I think it'd be good to add a way to repulse the ennemies and also some feedback when you get water because I had to try a few times before realising I already had water.

Wish my computer was faster (3-year old lower-end laptop), after about the 5th or 6th effigy, got a bit of slowdown that made putting out the fires difficult-to-impossible. Not a slight against the game itself, but just fyi. Like the concept, seems fun as a multiplayer game, perhaps local splitscreen multiplayer could be worked out for it?

A very good game. First ludum dare I play this time that is multiplayer. It's a interesting strategy game where there is a lot going on. My main concern is that you can sabbotage your oponent so much that a duel can get very very long. Even so I have never seen a game with this mechanics and I loved it š. At the beggining it was hard to understnd the game about what's the water and how to know I got it. But most problems are small fixes so overall I give this game 4.5 stars

Me and another player spent about 10 minutes stealing each others bales of straw trying to finish our last effigy. Somehow managed to yoink enough of his away and put them on my side quick enough to make most of the shape. Other players would randomly come up and take or burn my straw. Nice use of the theme and a good implementation of multiplayer. I probably got too emotional over people burning my effigys prematurely. 8/10 would sacrifice to Cthulhu again :thumbsup:
Concept is nice ! Makes me wish I could set other players on fire though. :D
Nice concept. Would have been nice to be more polish. But good job overall, was fun playing it!

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)
Nice game, didn't get to challenge anyone though. The NPCs help me light my effigy on fire after its complete, maybe they should try to put it out then. Overall, I enjoyed it. Good job!
I was straight up shouting at the dudes setting my stuff on fire lolol this was frustrating, but a fun kind of frustrating. well done

I only played singleplayer and I thought after a while it got repetitive, especially the music. However, I think this would be a lot of fun in multiplayer.

Great idea and pretty well executed. Cool!
Wow! The multiplayer is another thing! Stole, burn... I enjoyed playing with another player! There are things can be improved, like the gamee feel, polish, feedback about your actions... but the essential and the basic mechanics are there! Congrats! Good job! :clap_tone3: :clap_tone3:

Cool mechanics. I liked the guys who ran in from the sides and set things on fire. It was nice that you'd implemented some stuff to make single player interesting, even though it was clearly designed for multiplayer.

Quickly feels repetitive. Maybe fooling around with physic would have been fun. The ennemy mechanics is not we well added to the overall game. But you manage to implement multiplayer during a game jam, and that.... respect.

Super cool! I loved that it was multiplayer and single player. It was weirdly addicting for such a simple concept, I thought it was really fun! the movement was kinda weird at some points but I got used to it, after a bit.
Fun, straight forward game, single player does get a bit repetitive after completing a few effigies.
Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on the fourth day of Ludum Dare streams. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8
Fun game, and I love seeing the multiplayer! I liked it, though some more abilities or environmental effects would have been niceāit got a bit repetitive in single player.
nice and polished game! :) the theme is really fun and straight forward in this game,it would be nice to have a better placement system though. good job:)
