Loved it. Very addictive!
MAn that game is freaking awesome I liked it so much and especially the music and graphics.Good Job :) You can find my game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/$145299
This is excellent! II liked that this had an element of clearing out and rebuilding, really set it apart from other clickers I've played. Also the art, music, and sfx were solid!
Reeeeeally well polished - and if you're into these kinds of game ... well done :)
Amazing graphics and animations, mesmerizing music and atmosphere. The only thing I would change is the rate of progression. Without the function to click 3 times at once on my mouse it would get boring towards the end. Overall great job!
First of all, I had to download an auto-clicker just for this game :laughing:
With that out of the way, I was just about to make a screenshot of my "industrialization" (all available spots replaced by buildings) and place the first diamond hut when this happened:

God dammit :sob:
Super fun and addictive!
The cultist/temple theme is pretty smart, and the artwork is just amazing.
Destroying the resource-generator to make space for more resource generator was a new twist as well, at least for me. Loved playing the game. Really well polished too, just adorable <3
Very nice game! The graphics, music and interactions were very well polished and worked together well. The theme was very well adhered to. It was very fun and satisfying to see all the buildings do their thing and create more dudes. It was overall very satisfying to see all those little dudes running around the place, which is the only thing I didn't really liked, but can't really be fixed easily either. This was that a big part of the satisfaction from the game was seeing all the little guys run around, but as you build more buildings, you stop seeing them. All in all a great game, and almost unbelievable that it was made in 2 days, Good job!
A really addictive clicker game. And I love the fact that overfilling on your resource causes you to loose. I honestly just sunk like 30 minutes into completing the game and I had a great time!
Holy cow, is this addictive. Loved it. Screenshot 2019-04-29 at 13.30.02.png
Usually the clickers are just about watching some number increment, but this one is also about making sure it doesn't increment too fast. That's a great idea, because it gives me the reason to actually play the game instead of just leaving it open and going for coffee or something. Graphics, sound and overall polish are top-notch. Like I couldn't find anything bad with those even if I wanted to.
That said, I felt it would be more interesting if there were two or three more variables to play with, like money, wood or some other resource. Just gradually updating stuff along a single axis starts feeling, I don't know, mechanical.
Great game very polished for the time!
Really great game! Not usually into clickers but this was fun enough that I played through to the end. cult_victory.png I was in the process of replacing the entire island with diamond buildings and could barely place them fast enough by the end. I do want to see a full island though...
Also btw there was a minor bug, I think I beat the game while placing a building and when I clicked Play Again it placed the building in the new game even though I hadn't unlocked it and couldn't afford it: cult_bug.png
cult_bug2.png
My favorite game so far. Great artwork.
10/10, best cultist breeding sim
great game, could use hotkeys option for building placement
Very very nice game and incredibly pretty. Best cultist sim so far...
Wow - I am super impressed, did you make all of this by yourself in 48h? What a legend! Love everything about it, awesome job!
Was well on my way to place blue temples EVERYWHERE when I suddenly won. Dammit, would've loved to fill the map with the blue temple :D
Capture.PNG
Nice. Went to 300 cultistz but I was looking for a gameplay twist..
Nice little idler/clicker. The graphics are fantastic, but the music gets annoying after a while. Not a big problem, though.
Really pretty graphics! Gameplay is nice too. I like the bg music but the sound effect from clicking the statue was very loud in comparison
a cool take on the clicker genre, and goodness if this isn't one of the **prettiest** games i've seen for a while! such beautiful art, and the audio complements it so nicely too!
i liked the element of sacrificing the natural world around you to make room for your cult :)
Nice music, nice art style, so nice aesthetics overall! :slight_smile:
Sadly I'm not a big fan of clicker games. :confused:
Very cool game - I was waiting for a cult game to pop up because that was definitely where my mind went to first for "your life is currency" as well.
Great game, very addictive! Just a thing: the theme is "your life is currency" not "the life of your cultists is currency" xDDD Graphics and music are very nice, and it has a good progression, good job!!!
Really cool concept and this pixel art is simply awesome!
What an amazing game. Very very addicting! The music and sounds are great, the graphics are wonderful. I just love it. I played all the way to 1000 cultists. damn.PNG
Damn this looks clean! :~)
Awesome game!
I did not see the time passing while I was playing, I like idle games
I'm not a fan of clicker games, but damn this one is really good under all aspects, especially how you used the theme. I don't have much to say about it other than, excellent job!
Good game! Clickers aren't my sort of thing but it's well polished so good job
Great combination of genres, with highly addictive results! Seems super polished and the art is really pretty.
Feels polished, juiced up and professional. I do think it scaled a bit slowly, but it did keep me entertained for a while. Great job!
Very pretty! And satisfying to click around. I liked all the sounds!
And 10000s of clicks later... very addictive game, lovely mechanic that works well.
Nice game but a bit too slow for my taste. I like the concept and how you can do too well which will kill you, but you almost never get too this state as again, the game is too slow for that.
Amazing! The game is very polished, it plays like butter... It barely feels like it was made in 48 hours. I am truly amazed by your skills and I hope I get anywhere close your level some day!
Really addicting, though a little sad the game ended before i was able to fill the entire island with the little blue buildings.
First of all, this game technically it's impressive: everything you do has a very nice visual feedback, pixel art is top notch also color palette and general design are very very good, about the gameplay: the core gameplay loop is nice, it has a couple little things that are rough and that can be refined such as: the first slow grind to reach 20 max cultists, it's just a boring part and doesn't add much to the gameplay experience, i don't get why i should build the building that cost 100, it takes more space than the 65 one, costing more and not providing enough value, personally i like a lot the moments when you are in risk of losing and so you have to act quickly to avoid it, maybe the game could be more focused on making that a more recurring occurrence, it's addicting anyway and i would love to play a more refined version of it! overall a fantastic entry, congratulations!
Pretty fun and polished with great presentation, but how much you need to click to progress is a bit much. Would have been nice if the speed at which you automatically gained cultists and or how much you got per click would have been higher with potential upgrades.
Great game! Love the artwork, love the mood. Would be nice to tune it such that manually clicking becomes irrelevant sooner -- that's what's keeping me from a second playthrough.
Game feels great with nice music. Great game to zone out on and see how far how can get.
Loved the graphics and audio. Very chill and addictive. Started playing and next thing you know I've filled up the entire screen and clicked that 1500 times. Great work!
So fun! I thought I was original with my intention to fill the island with blue diamond buildings, but apparently everyone wanted to do that! Had a lot of fun :) Great gameplay loop, great art, lots of fun! Great job!
It's so funСнимок.PNG
This game is awesome.
Simply amazing !
Great all around solid game with a nice bit of polish on top.
Awesome game! Very juicy, nice and polished. I love playing it. I wish I could upgrade the statue for more powerful clicks!
Super cute! You should totally make this into an app - I think it could be really popular!
Nice game, fun and addictive. Nice graphics. The music can get tiresome after a while.
Beautiful and quite fun game. Halfway in I forgot what the goal was, and got very confused.
The game itself is very nice and polished. I only didn't like the gameplay though, it seems just to be about clicking quickly enough, and unlock the last building? I think it needs some extra elements to add some strategy, such as special terrain?
I'm a idle game addict, and this one made me lose a good hour just trying to optimise my "city". The pixel art is well done and the overall atmoshpere is very good. The difficulty curve is well balanced.
Absolutely loved the game! Untitled.png
I think this is my favorite by now! Such a cool game, that requires thinking, but at the same time is very pleasing to play and watch. Great job!
Really fun game :smile: My hand cramped after a lot of clicking but the game makes up for it :sweat_smile:
Very addictive, if there wasn't a win state I would have just kept going.
Great game! Nice casual start out but quickly ramped up! I didn't want it to end yet though! I was on my way to covering the map in blue temples when suddenly I won! Once I started getting enough temples it was kind of a mini game to try and place enough temples before they made too many cultists. Very nice visuals and feedback. Only gripe I had was the clicking on the idol sound was a bit shrill. Also It seemed like the second temple that gave +6 wasn't really needed. It took up more space and gave the same boost ad the previous one. Other than that fantastic!Capture.PNG
I'm addicted! :D
Really fun and great presentation as well!
2019-04-30 13_01_24-Idle Idol by Daniel Moreno.png
Great entry.. too much addictive :)
Perhaps you could add more diversity in music :)
Pretty little game, who turn me completely crazy... Clic clic clic clic clic
Absolutely amazing game. I wish my jam games were this polished. The only problem I had is that the lose condition wasn't prefectly clear for me at first.
I love the art style and music! They fit really well together.
2019-04-30 13_46_45-Idle Idol.png
I find clicker games hard on my hands, but I love the art style and the music!
its perfect... i fill whole land with diamond houses :D
Really a nice and addictive game :) I appreciate the graphics and the music, it really fits the theme in my opinion. Also thanks for making the map of an even number width, I'm a little maniacal and if there was a free 1x1 spot it would've made me very uncomfortable. Congrats
Really nice entry, had a blast with it. This is a great use of the theme along with fine peaceful atmosphere! Great job! victory.png
The pixel art it's so clean! I use to like this kind of games, very nice idea, the audio fits perfect!
Hey! Good game :) I made also a idle/clicker game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/demonidle
Great visuals and nice music. I'm not a fan of clickers so I'll just say everything worked smoothly and it felt very polished, great job.
Awesome game! Really loved it!
This is a perfect balance between an idle game and an actual game, it can get really stressful when you're overwhelmed by cultists 😃
The graphics and audio are really awesome too, if the click sound on the goddess was a bit lower it would be just perfect!
Here, take this, you deserve it! 🏆
Amazing! Art style and mechanics are simple and fun. Also cool that you can remove trees and buildings.
To be honest I am not a big fan on clicker games but nice job on the art
Excellent art and audio. Wish there was something else to click apart from the main idol. Like little idols that pop up and you gotta click them before they vanish, but overall great game, very polished.
Very fun to play!
I love a good clicker game - that was awesome! Maybe a little bit tedious towards the very end, but I loved the "space as a resource" thing. That was a nice touch!
Holy shit, this is one polished package of a game!
Very good game! I had a lot of fun with it, you did a great job!
Boring Game Dont get How to play..
Really nice and small little game to pass some time. Enjoyed clicking my way through it and the nice clean graphics. The sounds were fitting, too. Didn't play it till the end though because it got repetitive rather quickly.
Loving this! Interesting concept, lovely cute graphics. Super!
I love cookie clicker, this one is great and short, could use a bit more work on the progression curve, but it's a compo so who cares. I think the game over is a bit too harsh, maybe remove half the population like thanos ?
Excellent! The goal is not to make your cultist population grow too fast. I like how buildings must be replaced over time. Amazing graphics and idea! Well done!
Great Idea of a clicker game, but, for the late game, it really sucks to have to click all the time in the same buildings over and over again to select them, maybe if you created something to just select what are you doing now it would solve this issue.
this was my score by the way, I was trying to make the entire field with blue buildings, but the game just ended... :(
you could create something that shows the victory condition, not just "PAH you won", when the player doesn't really knows how to.
for example, the winning condition I thought I had to complete was making the entire field with the ultimate building (The blue ones). And I was almost filing up the entire field with it (Was already something like 50% blue already) priiint.png
But this game was really well made. Good graphics, no bugs, and really fun (even more on the endgame, when you need to be quicker)
Really addicting and well polished game!
Amazing game! Great atmoshpere. But some hint at the winning condition would help.
Really enjoyed this. You did some clever stuff with the game design, only issue I had was it felt a bit more frantic than I'd like from an idle game. Overall a really solid entry, well done on creating such a polished game over the weekend!
Enjoyed this really addictive clicker game! [photo_2019-04-30_19-41-15.jpg](///raw/8e0/22/z/23dc8.jpg)
Really fun game and addictive haha ! Just wish I didn't had to click every time on the building I want to build to make it quicker :) Solid entry !
I don't like clicker games personally, but this one was really good and I got stick to it because of the beautiful pixels.
This game is like fitting into the themes of this and the last two LD's and I love it :D
We've been playing around with the thought of an idle game where humans are the currency as well, but didn't really work out for us The game is pretty fun and mostly perfect. One of my only complaints is the music, whichs loop is a bit too short for my taste for being in an idle game, which is supposed to be spend a lot of time with. And my other complain is the balancing of the buildings. Some steps too the next building are just too short to even make use of one and I don't understand why you should even use the fifth building at all, because it's so big
But these are just small things and don't interrupt the experience at all :D
realy good game. :dog:
The idea is awesome and I love the style. However I wish there was no way to be game over. I just want to click and not worry about anything :)
An awesome game! As I was hooked on cookie clicker for a long time this game and as I love strategy and builder gamest this was right down my alley! I especially liked how it was at first casual clicker with planning out the layout of temples and clearing land, turned into a bit of a strategy on building placement and which to choose and was a how-fast-can-you-build at the end. So many elements I like! At first the goal of 1000 seemed really far but was actually very well balanced and made for a nice lenght gameplay! Artstyle very consistent and the colorscheme is pleasant to look at! Music and effects were maybe a tad bit intense! Truly great and in every aspect the perfect LD submission!
PS! I might have had a bug - after winning and clicking replay I started with one of the blue buildings left behind and the cultist count was -290/10 :)
Addictive! I like it. It seems like all the buildings only gave +1? (Even if they promised +4?) Maybe I misunderstood. Overall great!
The music and graphics were beautiful; the squeaky noise was too squeaky. Great clicker game with a beautiful aesthetic.
Amazing and very complete little game, I have to say though that for a jam game progress feels a bit TOO slow, really annoyed at clicking so much :laughing: maybe I'm just not a fan of cookie clickers.
Capture.PNG
I loved this game. It's like a political criticism. You have to destroy trees to build room for cultists.
Love the art and the squared island. The click sound was cool too. Didn't understant much the lose condition. What does it trigger the countdown?
Awesome game, I really enjoyed playing it. However I don't know if that was a bug or anything, but some of the buildings got destroyed without me clicking on them. Is there any other thing that could explain that? All in all: It's a super lovely game and I really enjoyed playing it!
Lovely, good mood. Fun fun fun
Is there a way to cancel building something when you've already selected it? I lost because I didn't have enough room to build a building I had selected, but I couldn't cancel building to destroy anything. D: It was great fun. I ended up saving as many trees as I could by just destroying temples I had already created. Progress went a little slower, but it's worth it ... for the environment. (:
I've played many clicker games in many LDs but this one, hands down, is my most favorite one! :smiley: The look and feel of this one is adorable and as many have already pointed out, very addictive! So if "Creating an amazing and addictive game for Ludum Dare" was on your bucket list you can cross that one out. :laughing: Congrats on completing the Compo!
That was a really fun entry. The acceleration in gameplay with a perma death timer to worry about added stress that probably could've been avoided, but it was feasible to play the game without losing so long as you're paying attention. Though it does kind of go against the name having idle in it lol
This has been the best LD44 game I've played so far. The gameplay is fun and addictive, the music is light and calming (with some cool portamento effects), and the graphics are nice to look at. I really enjoyed the progression of this, and once I got to the point where I didn't have to click anymore I was on the path to victory! Really awesome entry. Thanks for making this!
beautiful music. tried to spell i like butts.
Love that you can lose!
Nice clicker game! Very polished art and music. Good use of the theme. I didn't see any reason to buy the 100 cost building though, it didn't seem to provide any benefit over the 65 cost and just took up more space.
Geez what a solid game. Dunno what you did to get my autoclicker to not work but gj lol
Cute little game, nice idle game with a very small feel. Feels very polished!
Very well done! I managed to beat the game but it got really hectic towards the end :D.
Cute pixels! Addicting as hell! ;)
Nice game! Art, music and gameplay :)
Beautiful art and sound! :) I would have liked some sort of challenge, but I guess that's the normal issue with clicker games.
Completed with 1000 cultists and the whole map filled in with diamond and stone huts Did not see the point in 180 and 100 buildings, since they are too damn big for what they bring. Otherwise, congrats on a well done entry!
That has to be the best game I've played during this jam! Very cool concept and gameplay!
I was quite close to completing the game when my computer battery ran out and had it shut down. Fun game! The music got somewhat repetitive over time, but honestly this is a well rounded clicker with a nice twist. Cheers!
Really nice game, too bad I'm always getting a nasty bug that make me game over automatically, I click on a temple to select a construction and then I get some cultists higher than my max, then they all die and I can't do anything. Still great game I love it.. to bad I had to experience this bug 3 times.
I was playing the HTML version btw.
The idea is nice but too much clicking for nothing. The win/lose condition isn't very clear. Good quality pixel art.
Really nice game. The artstyle are pretty damn amazing, and it's extremely addictive.
Really nice visuals and nice take on the theme.
Nice and addictive! Completed it.It was fun)
Damn! I'm really overwhelmed by all the positive feedback, you guys are amazing! :-)
I'm really glad you like the game! I'm gonna try to answer some things that you've telling me these days about the game:
1. Yup, I know the music can be repetitive, I'm not a musician myself and I know barely anything about music making, but I tried my best. 2. There is a bug if you try to play again and you've selected a temple to build. I'll try to fix it on a post-jam version. 3. Losing having a lot of cultists is not a bug, it is intended. You've to keep building temples to make room for everyone. 4. Not all the buildings gives you the same amount of cultists per second. That's the big difference between the fourth and fifth temple, even though they give you the same room.
I really like those screenshots of you finishing the game! hah :D
Wonderful game, the art reminds me of forager :)
Awesome, love the balance between trying to expand and trying to not go over.
I'm still impressed by how much time i can spend on clickers sometimes. I managed to win while trying to cover the whole island with blue houses so I did not have the time to completely cover the island in blue. The graphics were super cute and the music relaxing (the clicking sound not so much though) Nice entry :)
Really relaxing. Nice game.
Now THIS is how to make a good clicker game!
I've given clicker games a hard time in these kind of jams, because of how easy I think they are to make. I just feel like they're the go-to game for when you're out of ideas for mechanics. BUT this game really knocks it out of the park and probably will make me rethink what I believed in about clickers before I played it.
I think it's an absolute Genius move how you made it so that the player can't just leave the game running in the background. This is in fact not an idle game at all, since you lose if you don't keep sacrificing cultists. I have to give 5 stars on this one, really!
The art is absolutely perfect. Im not a big fan of clicker games, but this is polished to a mirror shine(aside from the one bug).
Good work!
Excellent job. Nice graphics. As you've already mentioned, the music could do with some variety. Maybe just additional post-jam content would help the game to flourish. Nice work.
Absolutely love it. As others have said, needing to deal with overpopulation makes this feel unique for an idle game. My only wish is that the sound for clicking the statue wasn't so screechy :P
Love this one. I didn't understand that the goal was to have 1000 cultists tho. Got surprised when I was filling the map with the blue buildings to satisfy my OCD. Some minor remarks : - Would have loved some keyboard shortcuts for the buildings. - Maybe bind the destroy building to right click, I missclicked more than 10 times during the entire gameplay, this is not a big issue but kinda annoying.
Also I hate you for making such addictive game, thought I would spent 10 minutes on this one, played for 45 minutes... Loved it :heart:
Good job !
chrome_2019-05-01_17-47-29.png 5/5
A really beautiful looking game with a great sound track to match. I would've preferred to have an auto-clicker built in.
Wowww that game just remind me why I should never play clicker game.... because I'm too quickly addict to it, and this one is a really addictive one ! I really enjoy this game, that's really a polished one with all the arts done (graphics + sounds) I will probably play one ore more games in the near future ! Congrats, very well done !
when I started the game I didn't expect to... finish the game! perfect snowball, the theme is greatly used here, you deserve your ratings GG
plop.png
Amazing Polish.. This game had me playing for way longer than I expected to. Theme is on point and everything about this game is just great! I love that the clicks are so satisfying :100: :thumbsup:
As I was playing this game and had the entire map covered in the gold temples, I asked myself... why am I still playing this? I'm just putting more buildings on the map. Now I'm just going to destroy all these gold ones and replace them with blue ones. And yet, even though I was thinking that, did I still keep playing until I won? Most definitely.
This was a super addictive game even without having much in the way of mechanics, so for achieving that in 48 hours: well done! That fact that you did it while adhering to the theme, having a great chill backing track, and really nice simple graphics that added to the aesthetic makes it even more impressive. This is an awesome game! I'd love to see this idea taken and enhanced by adding more challenge, or more things to do besides just building things.
Pixel art and music in SNES style. My favorites. I like the concept. Congratulations for the game.
I also make a game. If you can, please try it, rate it and comment.
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44/junkebox-panic
Love the concept, art and retro aesthetic! Great job on music as well, If you're ever in need of custom music or sfx feel free to reach out!
Really liked it! It has a simple, clean art style, intuitive gameplay, a bit of strategy in building placement, and a more polished progression that I would have expected from a jam game. All within compo limitations too. Very impressive work!
idle-idol-stats.png
Liked the game ，played it until my finger started to hurt.Really addictive and fun to play.
Best picked I've played in a long time. It's really frustrating that I can't cancel a build after clicking on a building. :(
This is great!
Nice job, and really nice graphics ! I find the game quite easy compared to other jam submissions, which is a pretty nice change of pace. The fact that I have to keep spamming the mouse isn't really great though, it's a bit tedious ; only holding the button would be enough. Really nice job, I'm looking forward to your future submissions ;)
Very polished entry, I liked playing it.
@redmountainman1 You can! Right click when you've selected a temple to build to cancel it.
Nice clicker!!! Loved the music and style!!! It is nice to see a clicker mixed with resource management, it creates something interesting!
All Blue. Bez tytułu.png
Nice fun and addictive game, music is nice too :)
This was a really fun game! One thing I would've liked would've been bonuses if certain buildings were placed beside others, to add a little more strategy. Great job! Capture._PNG.PNG
Neat little game, very polished. I like clicker games that are short to complete like this one.
Wow, where do I start? This game is all around polished and did something VERY cool with the theme. A super great twist with the theme, excellent punchiness and pacing, great audio, super polished visuals. Was this a one-man project? That kinda makes it all the more amazing! Thoroughly impressed by this. 5.0 overall!
I couldn't figure out how to cancel the thing i was building that I no longer had enough resources for and I was losing all my cultists at the same time. So I ended up screwed. But this is a cool clicker concept.
@calzep you can cancel a build right-clicking. The controls are at the bottom of the game page.
Good job! And a good pun too :) The victory screen for 1,000 cultists appeared abruptly and without fanfare so at first I thought I'd lost! Also, as other have said, this game is crying out for hotkeys! Other than that, excellent work.
Very juicy, smart and addictive. Congrats!
Really liked the style of this game! The concept is nothing new but it just feel sooo great in your version because of sounddesign and lovely pixelart and feedback. I liked how you planned out the space and buildings to create a giant Temple structure in the end. Great work!
Capture.PNG Wow! I really enjoyed your game! It's quite addictive, haha! The art and the music create a great atmosphere. The only thing I thought about that would make the experience better is to not have to select again the building you want to place. Hotkeys would have been cool too.
Otherwise, awesome game, thank you!
Super addicting clicker game! Thought balancing the population with the amount of buildings I had to fit made it challenging and kept me going until I got the gold buildings. Everything about it was overall fantastic!
I had to force myself to quit playing XD
Impressive game! I'm not usually a fan of idle games, but in this case the available room and cultist management has you constantly making decisions and planning, which coupled to the usual clicker mechanic keeps you you hooked for quite a while. It is a really direct and clever take on the theme, and the level of polish is amazing both in visuals and sound, moreso considering it's a compo entry.
I didn't even realise I could destroy the trees at the beginning! :sweat_smile: (interestingly enough, another of my favourite entries has you planting trees and trying to resist mass deforestation).
Amazing job, congrats!!
There is nothing I can add or say that 10 other haven't by now. But I just wanted to say that this game is amazing and one of if not the best I've played this LD. Amazing idea and execution. Art, audio all meld extremely well, and the difficulty curve is near perfect. Truly exceptional, I wouldn't have even guessed that its was made in a game jam. I feel like I need to leave some constructive criticism because I would love for this to get even better. Only small gripe which might be intentional is that there are no audio cues when you almost lose or at milestones such as unlocking new building. Some more visual flair could help improve this amazing game even further.
I lost when I tried to break progression and let it build up to the next level, when I bought my building I ended up dying. Very pretty game.
Nice game, really addictive !
really cool little game! seems simple, but there's a lot to it^^ the graphics are awesome and the theme is well represented! great job!
Very nice and polished game! I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere of the genre (building stuff) and the music that is combined with the stress of a clicker game! Nice idea. Graphics were fantastic and the game felt very polished
nice game
very polished, and very clicky!
Wow! I was only planning on playing this for a few quick minutes but ended up playing for over half an hour. The visuals are great, and the gameplay is incredibly engaging and addicting. Excellent job!
Grats on making an addicting incremental game! 1000cult.png
I love this game! It's super well polished and a ton of fun! And I don't even play idle games! XD You nailed it! Great job.
An excellent clicker, congratulations!
Very charming. It gets to the point where it becomes like a CS:GO training map XD. I definitely was trying spend my people as fast as humanly possible and only 'won' because I was unable to click fast enough to keep up with my procreation-addicted cultists.
Very nicely done. Audio/art/and mechanics all fit very nicely together.
Liked the music, it fits well and helps set the atmosphere. Art is very cute and gameplay is straight forward. Love the little NPC dudes running around. Was slightly confused when I died right after purchasing the first 10-cultist hut thing, but figured it out on my next try. The grave stone animations that appear when cultists die were a nice little touch. Some upgrades to increase how much you can get for clicking the statue would be cool, to help scale with the higher cost of things and keep clicking rewarding.
Aand victory!

This is amazing, I want an endless mode!
Very cool indeed... took me a while to realise I could destroy trees though!
1000cultist.PNG I would not have thought of a city builder for this theme
level of polish is very impressive But the game is sorta boring without the extra powerups & auto clicking upgrades that other clickers have. Graphics are super cute too!
Very polished, and the mechanics are fantastic. I just wish there was a better win condition than "get 1,000" cultists after I had filled the map with blue tier buildings. Regardless, polished, clean and fun! Great job!
everything is great. I really have nothing more to say :D Just fall in love with graphics and the mood.
Really fun clicker, with gorgeous graphics and audio. I loved how intuitive the UI was, having clear interfaces is so precious in game jams ! My only gripe would be that one follower = one click for the entirety of the game. Aside from that, great job !

It has been a long time since I enjoyed playing a clicker game. Great job!
Didn't know I was into "clicker"-games. Great entry!
Things I didn't like: - The specific sound that plays when you click on the statue is not so pleasant, sometimes I avoided clicking on it because of the irritating sound. - At first, it wasn't clear that I had to reach 1000 cultists to finish. I thought that I had to fill the screen with the 300$ building. It caught me off guard. I clicked to play again just to be sure and saw that you put it in the beginning, but so much thing is happening on the screen that I missed it. Maybe put some popup before the gameplay telling this to the player and only start the game when he hits OK, or something like that. - I played for some minutes thinking that the trees were put in a smart way and I had to think where to put the structures to optimize the space. But then I realized that you can destroy the trees haha. It would be nice if that information were clearer, I felt dumb. - Sometimes I destroyed some structures while trying to click on the statue. It would be less prone to error if the right button destroyed them, instead of the left.
Things I liked: - The music is very good, it works nice in the background. - Most of the sound effects are good. - The art is amazing, very very good pixel art, it's inspiring. Nice animations when you destroy trees and such. - It offers a complete experience, with an end game screen, very polished. - The mechanic that makes the player avoid incremeting the currency too fast is awesome because it requires the player to be proactive, making it different than other idle clickers.
I generally avoid clicker games because I'm easilly addicted to them. This was no different hahaha, had to finish it! Very satisfied with the experience.
When I listened to the soft music and placed the perfect pixel art, I felt enchanted. If you continue to develop this, when I had to lose 10 cultists to gain 1 cultist several times in a row I felt discouraged.
I'm usually not into clickers, but the posh aesthetics (both graphics and audio) made this a pleasent experience.

This was a great variant on the clicker game! Excellent job! The music was awesome and the game was super addictive.
I won! nice short clicker game. The art is very nice. The game is very peaceful for hundreds of cultists dying, it'll be nice if their deaths felt more significant? Overall though nice job!
One Concept I Liked: I liked how the game's aesthetic (graphics and audio) combined to create a peaceful relaxing atmosphere, or mood.
One Concept I Disliked: The game got repetitive somewhat quickly and it lost some of its initial entertainment value after some time.
Very polished and great graphics and audio!
I'm not really that big on clickers - generally, and with this game, there's a bit too much time taken compared to interesting stuff happening
I loved it. Well of course it would become repetitive because it's a clicker but it is a well thought clicker and I was very happy to reach the end of the game!
Love it. Really great vibe, but I didn't know the limit was 1000 cultists. I was in the middle of moving every temple to the blue one when I hit the win condition! Great little idler. Would be nicer to have some other upgrades.
I'm coming back just to show that...I did it o/ Again, great game! Capture.PNG
Finally, one game that is better on the trackpad than on a mouse :D
Really polished, but a bit too much on the easy side. THe drip-feeding level is almost perfect, you unlock new stuff just a little bit too far apart. One of the best games this LD!
It was so much fun that I couldn't stop
