Very nice. It's short but I liked the puzzles in each level. One simple mechanic but well thought.

Very nice. It's short but I liked the puzzles in each level. One simple mechanic but well thought.
I love it. Even before trying out the game, just seeing the gifs I knew this was going to be fun and hilarious. Great job.
Very nice looking graphics with a cohesive style going on. Nice concept all around. Had fun with it, though I got run over and thrown around several time.
Nice concept, though I would have preferred some clear info on what every mechanism does before trying it myself, either on the game's page or in the game itself.
Nice game. I don't really mind the (lack of) graphics, and I liked the concept. I had fun with it, good job.
Very nice concept, unfortunately I don't have a webcam (I have one on my laptop but it's too weak to play games on it) so I couldn't play it. Maybe include a mode where you can use the mouse or some other kind of traditional input method, specifying that it's not the intended way to play.
I liked it, though the gameplay itself is very limited. Nice take on the theme.
Very funny game, the art style really fits well with the whole mood. I suck at games like QWOP so I sucked at this game too. Still enjoyed it a lot.
Very nice take on the tower defense genre. I am pretty bad at managing lots of stuff at once so I didn't do great. Still, very fun game. Agree that the UI is a bit obstructing, also would have liked if the view was zoomed out from the start.
Took me a while to understand what I needed to do and how, but after that is was really nice. The graphics are very good and I liked the polis on the effects, like the ship hovering, the vignette on the screen, etc Very good job! I'm impressed that you made this in 2 days.
Very nice pixel art, and great BGM. As the others said, the window is a bit small but it didn't bother me much. Still good fun game.
Nice game. I liked how the title screen was set up, very ingenious. The graphics are cool, though some times I wasn't sure if I could move on certain terrain because of the refraction-like effect on some portions of the ground.
Came for the anime girl, stayed for the story. Good job.
Nice game, very nice graphics. I had some troubles getting used to the controls though. Also did the music dynamically change when enemies are near? That's a really cool touch!
Awesome graphics, very nice game. Liked the sound effects and the juiciness of the particle effects. The gameplay itself is a bit limited. Still had fun with it, great job!
Really enjoyed it. I got the "good liar" ending, but I want to play it again and see what other endings are there. Loved the art and the music. The only nitpick I have is the font, which clashes with the beautiful had-drawn art style.
Really nice game. I loved the models but wish they had some kind of "attack" and "hurt" animations. Solid concept, worth expanding into a bigger game.
Very nice game, although it doesn't really look like it fits the theme. I still had fun with it.
I liked this one. Moving the camera while in bird-view gave some... interesting results. Fun and charming, very comfy atmosphere and music. :v:
Okay, this game is great. I feel so dumb though, I suck at anagrams. Really a good brain-teaser.
Pretty nice idea. The battery runs out fast, and the GDD heats up a little too quickly. Still had fun with it.
@coomzy thsnks for playing, and for the feedback! You're right about the Resolution Dialog, we must have disabled it by mistake. I know I always keep it enabled because I like to choose the resolution before I start playing.
We're planning a post-LD version, so we're going to keep track of all the feedback we can get.
Nice game. The music is a little boring and I wish I could use the arrow keys to select the tile, but other than that it's good.
Holy cow (pun intended) this game is hilarious. Incredible how just making everything into a ragdoll can improve the game so much. Had a blast with it, except when I threw myself down a cliff, because I expected the game to restart on its own.
Fun idea, although it took me some time to actually understand what was going on. You made quite a lot of assets, I like that! It makes the levels feel like actual houses.
Holy cow this game looks gorgeous!!! I wasn't sure what I was doing at first but I quickly got the gist of it. Really nice idea, I really like how polished the visuals are (only nitpick is the 'Restart' button on the game over screen)
Really good art style (except the deck of cards which took some time to identify because it was just a cube), loved how every sacrifice has a name.It took me some time to understand the point of the cards but once I got it, it was really interesting to test them out. Good game!
Don't have anyone to play this with :sob: but I'm looking forward to a single player mode because this game looks really good.
I feel like this interpretation of the theme is a bit of a stretch, but honestly I didn't care. Great idea, great amount of polish, feels fun to play! Good job
Simple and 'obvious' interpretation of the theme but very funny and enjoyable. I love the look on your soldiers' eyes. It's as if they know what you're about to do with them :joy:
Nice graphics and nice spin of the theme. I wish there were some kind of hit effects when an attack lands, like a spark or an explosion or something, but this is just nitpicking. Good job!
Very nice spin on the theme, sacrificing sheep for the sake of science! Love the graphics and sounds, very comfy.
Looks and sounds great but I don't think it uses the theme at all. Also the controls in the browser version are kind of annoying.
Amazing graphics and music. I had some troubles getting used to the controls and to aiming since the sensitivity was pretty high (I didn't notice the warning in the description :joy:) Overall a very nice spin on the theme and a fun game.
Really nice graphics! I love how the grass looks when drenched in blood. As others have said, some kind of power-up like a thrust or a dash would add a lot of variety. Also if the evil goats could hurt you back, that would be cool.
Incredible result for a game made in 3 days! Love the effort put in the animations, the transition effects, the waterline and the rebindable controls. Really impressive stuff. I wish there was a single player mode vs AI because I didn't have anyone to play with...
I liked the art, very cute and clean art style. The animations felt a bit lackluster though. Using the Astra as ammo didn't feel like a real sacrifice since I could always get more. It would have been cool if they had some cute SFX to make them actually feel like living creatures, but I understand that you had no time to put sounds in. All in all, a nice game.
That little girl is so cute I would gladly throw myself in front of a truck to save her! On the second level I got stuck right at the end and didn't jump even though I was spamming the Up button. Anyway, really nice game.
Really nice interpretation on the theme. Sacrifices must be made for the sake of finding the cure, brilliant. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the cure on my first playthrough :sweat_smile: but I'll try again! Also the art is really good.
Very good looking art! Impressive work for a LD entry. The concept of the game is also nice, and the game itself is fun to play.
A bit clunky, but I liked it. Also I enjoyed the Latin names for the gladiators (even though they look more like samurais :joy:) good job
@siryakko Thank you! I agree with you about the theme. The initial idea was to focus on using the cattle as currency, giving it away to buy stuff (like with the merchant) and vice versa, and having it stolen by bandits, but as we progressed we ended up using the cattle more as an 'item' needed to progress.
Nice spin on the classic Snake game and nice way to incorporate the theme! Well done.
The character looks nice and the music makes you feel the tension, but as others have said the controls don't feel very good. It takes time to even get used to them, and even then it's too easy to slip and fall. The camera control is also way too sensitive. Still a nice fun idea if you overlook these flaws.
Brilliant idea and nice execution. Very enjoyable game, and the art style is very well crafted.
Very nice concept! The art and music are very nice. I enjoyed the whole game loop, although it would have been nice if you could use your water to 'convert' the enemies in good plants since they look like dried up tree monsters.
Very nice art and music! They set the mood perfectly for the story. Really enjoyed how every step you take you can choose different options. Very well done!
Great art and great music help create the right mood, but as others have said it's not very clear what I had to do. Even after reading the description on the game's page I had troubles understanding what I was supposed to do. Still nice idea, would love to try it again with a tutorial or some QoL improvements.
Amazing art direction, love the colors, the lighting and the atmosphere. Same with the sounds. Very nice mood. I tried playing along and it wasn't very easy :joy: but it was still fun. I feel like it doesn't fully cover 'health as currency' as a theme but I still enjoyed it. Great job!
Very nice idea! I really enjoyed the simple graphics and the relaxing music, perfect to set the mood for some puzzlin'
Nice spin on the theme. I also had an idea of 'racing game but you start without a car' but couldn't think of a good way to do it. Well, this is it! As others have said, car parts some times spawned inside other stuff which was a bit annoying.
Great little game! I enjoyed the gameplay (brilliant interpretation of the theme), the art (charming art style and good designs, very varied and fun) and the writing (I like how you created 'characters' for each client). Very good job! Could have used some music and SFX (and some kind of smoothing on the 'cutting' mechanic, I often missed a pixel to close a shape (but that's more my mistake :sweat_smile: a))
A bit confusing at first, but a great little idea. Reminds me somewhat of Baba is You. Could use some polish, but has potential as a bigger game.
Very nice presentation. The art is charming and the music and sounds worked well. I was not sure how to judge the different items' values so I just kept trading randomly though :joy:
