This one really stands out compared to most other entries. Incredible to see what kind of suffocating atmosphere you were able to create in this short amount of time!
But I have to say, I almost got motion sick because of the head movement and the very high mouse sensitivity. Overall a really nice game tho!
Always love to see 3D games in a Game Jam! Really liked the polishing, such as the changing camera angle when talking to someone.
If I might add something to the controls: I like the 8-dimensional approach, but certain paths are curved in a way that you have to adjust your direction manually. The curve does not always align with the diagonal movement when pressing two input buttons. Thats a minor thing I found a little annoying sometimes.
Walking feels very satisfying and the animations fit super well. I also like the idea of summoning "helping gadgets" to find your way through the world.
I find it a little confusing that summoning and jumping / walking are on the same buttons, maybe it's just me, but I often struggled with exploring the world. The overall concept is great tho!
Really liked this approach! I think it is an interesting mixture of the theme and the puzzle genre. Sometimes I found the controls a little unintuitive, but this is critique on rather high level.
I could imagine a more fleshed out version of this would work very well on mobile platforms or the Nintendo Switch!
For sure one of the best looking pixel art games I have seen from this game jam so far!
I also really like how you approached the sacrifice mechanic by scaling the movement speed and the radius. I could imagine that with some additional polish this game would do pretty well on Steam with a demo!

An interesting twist on the Survivor-Genre! I sometimes found the player hitbox to be a little annoying, but overall this is a well executed idea!
