I love the pixel art animations and the sound effects, it feels very high quality.

I realy love that game

ace17 2019-04-29 06:49

The graphics are impressive. Is there an ending to this game?

Beautiful pixel people, fun idle type game. Should definitely develop this further.

sbug 2019-04-30 00:16

@ace17 Unfortunately there's no ending to the game, you just run out of updates you can purchase.

I really like this entry, I found it quite enjoyable! Great mood on the game overall and I really liked progressing through the various upgrades. Lots of unique stuff and great looking art. Thanks for sharing!

I kinda like it. The art style is beautiful, it really sells the atmosphere for me. The animations are minimalistic yet fluid and tasteful.

My first run went easy, but I don't mind. I guess the key is to upgrade the resource gaining options first (more people to grab, more souls per person, more boiling capability) before attracting new guests.

Really cool and funny audio XD I was totally in the mood to cook some people. Good job man

Wow, this is really well done. The sfx are well done and the wind int he background adds lots of eerieness.

Such a neat + atmospheric take on incremental games! So cool! The sounds are excellent and the graphical style is such a good way to keep things simple but looking great. This is really nice work.

The game feels so good! The art is gorgeous, but the sounds stole the scene. The boiling sounds are great!!

sbug 2019-04-30 01:43

@jgltrindade Thanks! The boiling sounds were me gargling some water :P

This game is simple and fantastic. Excellent execution, and I love the art style with all the villager interactions.

lot9s 2019-04-30 04:16

I love this game! I found myself playing long after I ran out of new upgrades :)

talia 2019-04-30 06:44

Ah yes, I played your game the first day the combo ended and I thought: What a cool game! Nice pixels and good animations. I had a really good time with it. I waited a little bit for a "end screen" as I had upgraded all things. Unfortunately I didn't rate the game and didn't remember the name. But thankfully, you left a comment on my post so I could finally rate you. I hope you join LD next time as well ;)

kovakomes 2019-04-30 07:46

My god, the art direction is phenomenal. It looks great. Well done. :clap: :clap: :clap:

pepnou 2019-04-30 08:37

wow, mass slaughter simulator :) Really enjoyable. Good job!

I really liked this one, although it could use some sort of a challenge. But for a jam game this was really fun and relaxing in a weird way.

This game is **bloody** addictive (geddit?). I realised I'd carried on playing for like 5 minutes after I'd unlocked all the upgrades. Great artwork, good sound effects, interesting (if a little grim) premise. Loved it.

I loved trying to launch the people as high as I could at a distance and still land in the cauldron. It was late when I was playing. I fell asleep with the game running and woke up to tens of thousands dead. Fun game!

gus-the-shark 2019-05-01 02:04

The graphics are incredible, 5 stars. Love the mood too, gameplay was a bit easy but enjoyable. Nice work!

aitalvasilev 2019-05-02 09:29

Great entry. The graphics, the sound design and especially the mood are absolutely stunning. Feels incredibly satisfying just playing the game even without any goal or a purpose long after buying all the upgrades, so the gamefeel is top-notch. Good job!

oivin-f 2019-05-02 17:47

One of my favorites this LD, though I wish it had a final goal. The art style, mood and presentation are all on point!

mrstari 2019-05-02 22:59

that is a really funny game. i love the details and the mood! great work! :heart: :heart:

poodle-in-need 2019-05-04 15:36

It's amazing and i really enjoyed playing it :D beautiful art, sound and mood, great idea and not enough upgrades lol

poodle-in-need 2019-05-04 15:36

love it <3

tammukka 2019-05-05 16:36

Audio is amazing! When I got all the upgrades I just started throwing people around :,D They look and feel like a bunch of ants, which is very fitting. It would be nice to see the upgrades that you've got and what they do.

angiekatneko 2019-05-07 02:24

I loved it! The little people were very cute and I could spend hours just dragging them and boiling them. Very nice job!

gamebuilder 2019-05-16 12:17

A gruesome game, but you made the most of the theme, which was awful. You've done a very good job, all things considered.

jjjjason 2019-05-21 22:28

Congrats!

rosypenguin 2019-05-22 04:30

Congratulations! Great game! Reminded me of the old school defend your castle type games. Did you make all the sound effects with your voice?

mika-la-grand 2019-05-22 14:20

Very nice game, though it would have been nice if there was an ending. Like the townspeople destroying the house if they overrun it.

Marvelous work! I work as an actor/voice actor and do voice direction and casting as well. If you're interested in having more voice be a part of this project or future ones, please get in touch. You can listen to my demo reel here.
