Great idea.

At first, I did'nt understand what to do. I think the game could really be improved with a tutorial, or a menu with explanations about what to do and how. Also, there should be some kind of collision box, I'm not sure it's nice to let the player leave the "arena". The controls works fine, and I have not seen any bug, that's nice. Thanks for sharing your game!

It was a great idea. The audio was basic I wish there was overall more to it.

You dont have anything to do or any reason to keep playing. and just trying to revive people until everyone is dead isnt really fun.

I'm not entirely sure what I was trying to do. I think revive people by walking up to them pressing the button. Couldn't tell since the bar didn't increase that often. A tutorial and more clear hit detection could take it a long way. Good start though!

Interesting concept. Definitely fits the theme

Intuative gameplay with an interesting concept.

My main complaint is the lack of clarity around why some bodies can't be revived. (Description says this is a bug, if you can fix it then please ping me and i'll do another playthrough)

Pretty cool. I think you have a bug causing me to be unable to revive some of the corpses

The hardest thing about being a priest is figuring out the exact pixel you have to stand on to revive your brethren. I do not know why, but the challenge of figuring that out was enough to keep me going! In spite of all that I actually was able to enjoy this game for a solid 10 minutes before all my villagers died. Well done!

@kuami6 Hehe glad you found that part as strangely satisfying as I did!

adam-jewell 2022-04-05 23:22

@legofan0807 You are kinda right. I wasn't able to add all the features I wanted to in time so it ended up being a bit of a simple goal. I would like build upon this in the future.

Love the idea! Easy to understand the mechanics. Hope you had fun making it ;)

Looks like a nice simple idea, but I only could resurrect 2 people and later resurrection didn't do anything. I tried walking around as you mentioned the bug in the description, but it didn't help - resurrection didn't do anything still.

Pretty basic but a fun idea! It gave me Age Of Empires vibes

Interesting concept! It felt a little repetitive near the end though, adding something to run away from/avoid could have been fun! Or adding ways to shepherd villagers together.

Overall great concept and great work!
