Lovely graphics! The concept reminds me of a minecraft dropper map, but I liked the cultish theme on top, and the low bitrate voice acting was great! Fun entry :)

Great execution! love the art style, the controls are very well implemented and the idea is fun. Great job!

I love the detail when the headmaster says "me" instead of us for the last cultist :D Also - does each cultist have their own level layout?? That's pretty cool! Wish there was an easy way to restart after clearing the game to try out different cultists, I actually managed hard mode after a couple tries haha

Developer

Aaah, you noticed the dialog change! ๐Ÿ˜ the layout changes after a certain distance is traveled, regardless of the cultist that you are controlling. Thanks a million for the feedback!

Super fun game! I've played this type before but this was really cool with limited lives, cult vibes, and moving objects on the way down. I was so close to getting it on hard mode T_T. Great work all around!

This hard mode is really something. Good job.

The visuals and atmosphere is great, but the gameplay felt a bit lacking. I think it would have been nice if the different followers had different attributes or abilities so that there was some decision to be made in what order to use them up. Like the others said, it is also a bit short but these things are always a bit hard to nail during such short jams. Nice job completing the game regardless!

Developer

Thank you! Your feedback is constructive and very fair ๐Ÿ™‚

Okay that was really fun and unique. Way too short haha but I bet it was a lot of work to make already! Love how it looks and the story lol - it was cool that there was narration even if the quality wasn't great. Well done!! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much ๐Ÿ˜ and I agree, it is too short haha

Thats a good thing it means people want more haha!

Short, sweet and very original. I loved the art direction and the idea of a apocalyptical cult

Developer

Thanks a million! I really enjoyed playing your game ๐Ÿ™‚

The audio could use a bit of am improvement imo. The music was very loopy and short, causing it to be quite repetitive, which wasn't that bad because the game is also fairly short. It also didn't really fit the vibe of the game that well to me either, it felt a little too goofy to me.

The gameplay was nice and short, but also a little too easy. Although, apparently there was a hard mode I didn't get to. Anyways, all in all, nice little game for 4 days, good work guys!

A bit short, but still a fun game overall. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Yes, we should probably have made the tunnel a bit longer.

Although the way it shows countdown is a little bit wierd, but I like it!

Developer

Thanks! That's fair, we could have done a better job emphasizing the theme.

Submitted(+1)

Great work - I found it a bit easy, but I like the idea of followers as countdown :) 

Developer

Thank you! Yup, I agree with you there, we made it a bit too easy.
