We're in...

Hahahahaaha what a idea. I love it xD (Now I have the song of rise against the machine in my head)

zarkonnen 2019-04-30 11:27

The animation of all the little people grabbing their victim and throwing them into the volcano is amazing. Good music too.

zarkonnen 2019-04-30 11:28

Also, now I have Rage Against The Machine stuck in my head. :tongue:

In general, it is a solid game. First thing: Missing zooming in. It's sometimes hard to pick a guy to sacrifice. Second: The graphics are good and simple. Third: To choose the name of the King by yourself. I love it. well work!

This was a really fun game to play. The game would've benefit from a more zoomed in screen. It's a really overall fun game!

tomasmunro 2019-04-30 16:57

never thought id play a game based solely around sacrificing people and like it so much hahaha , good job man

kurt-roembke 2019-04-30 16:59

I really like that this game was actually difficult for me because I quickly decided that I was only going to sacrifice men with no children. I love how the game is pretty simple if you negate human morals. Congratulations. I'm super impressed with this one. The audio was great too and I agree with @zarkonnen. That animation had me laughing out loud.

The scream during the sacrifice is very hilarious. Funny game ;)

pleyad 2019-04-30 17:03

Funny Game! Maybe it would be a good idea to have a persons stats displayed by a hover event, by that you could reduce some clicking. The music is also good, But I found the constant hammering noise a bit distracting. But even like this, it's a really comic game, the screams are hilarious! Bug Report: One guy keeps on floating above the abyss, maybe the gods want to spare him? :wink:

I don't understand the rule , but good job ^^

Was I the only one who killed in the name of dog? Really creative idea! I love it!

Ha! I killed many villagers in the name of MOM, but in the end she got pissed and destroyed the island. That was a fun and different game. Unfortunately this mom is older so I could barely see the character to click on them. Maybe a top-down view and more zoomed in would have made it easier to see the villagers so I could better appreciate their screams as they were heaved into the lava.

The screams were hilarious. Many villagers were sacrificed to Bacon.

Very funny game. My priests were really busy to keep UYUYU happy. They really have a difficult job. Well done !

hbocao 2019-05-01 12:16

Stupid villagers! I was saving them!

Very nice art style and animations, loved the screaming sound :stuck_out_tongue:

I've killed in the name of THE MACHINE. :robot:

"Kirby is really pissed" PLEASE FOR THE GOOD LORD SAKE!

The concept is great. When I first heard the scream, I could not hold the giggles. Music works well, like the graphcs. I think this would be better if it was a smaller play area, so you could avoid moving the camera around the island (but this is up to debate). Congrats!

tamail 2019-05-01 19:58

First of all, I love the Rage Against the Machine reference! Second of all, great game, loved the sounds, the simple art. Unfortunately, it was a bit too zoomed out and after some time I couldn't click on the villagers - but I guess that was because I pissed them off..? Anyway, good job!

sver 2019-05-02 08:38

@tamail no, sorry that's a bug. We screwed the system over a bit with a last minute refactoring...

@all Thanks for all the nice comments :)

I actually found a unintended bug myself... the map is a tile too high... pushing the down-arrow seems to let you peek below the lava, where the victims fall for all eternity 👿 This exposes, that we're not cleaning up at all... we'd deserve to be sacrificed for that...

simonl 2019-05-02 12:09

@sver pssst :)

Love the RATM inspired title and music! The music is great and really establishes the mood. Good use of the theme and I enjoy the concept. The screams were funny too. I'd like if the scale was changed to make everything larger and easier to click. Also maybe if there was a visual indication of sanctuaries being attacked since the sound plays in the center channel regardless of camera position. Good job!

retti01 2019-05-02 20:18

The scream. I love the sound in this game.

pixscope 2019-05-02 20:23

Nice job !

jutjuan 2019-05-02 20:25

The art and music are great! The concept is very original but i would like to see an impact on the population depending on who you decide to sacrifice, for example, if there are too many males but not enough females, you won´t be able to produce enough people to sacrifice. This is just a random idea, it is still a nice game anyways, good job ;)

hypp 2019-05-02 20:27

This was very creative! And quite fun to play. Well done.

purrseus 2019-05-02 20:39

It's an absolutely genius name to let the player choose for whom to sacrifice! The mehcanics work quite well, it's all really atmospheric. The music is great and the graphics, simplistic as they may be, actually work quite well, too. The sounds for the unenlightened attacking the temples and the scream are maybe a bit on the earpiercing side ':D

But a great entry! I'm very glad I played it :)

hwaet 2019-05-04 03:07

I love the concept. It's goofy in a way that's a perfect fit for the theme. Some alternate screams would have been good, because oof that is not a sound to listen on on headphones repeatedly. It also wasn't clear at first if there was a way to win. But maybe that's the point when it comes for sacrificing for the greater good

mario-marinelli 2019-05-05 09:41

Nice Game and cool Sound nice to play

oune 2019-05-05 10:05

Nice game! The screaming sound is a lot of fun.

flaterectomy 2019-05-05 10:16

A fun concept that I wished delved a little deeper into the sacrifice selection side.

People started beating the church at the right side of the island, so I tried to sacrifice them, but my priests couldn't get to the volcano in time. This was pretty close to the start of the game too. At one point I sacrificed someone and the lava came up rather than down, and I couldn't figure out why.

The art is clear, but very small. I kind of wish things were at least twice as big. The music is excellent, the screaming as the sacrifice is thrown into the volcano was very funny.

stev0o 2019-05-05 16:43

Hilarious. Great Job.

oropouche 2019-05-07 15:50

lot of fun

spirits 2019-05-12 17:50

Great Game! Simple visuals and it looked awesome. The only thing, was I had my face very close to the screen XD, Overall, Great Job :thumbsup:

kypello 2019-05-18 05:59

I killed them all in the name of egg
