I really love the visual and atmosphere you implement into the game! looks really nice!
The game mechanic itself is pretty straightforward and easy to understand,, especially combined with the amazing art! well done! :D
tbh, I am sorry, but I didn't enjoy the current gameplay that much. it's playable, but the pure RNG factor the game put out for the player is kinda annoying for me. :( (Maybe, it's a me issue, but that was my experience)
I guess you can improve it on giving the player some kind of puzzle or decipher game into it. and then, let the RNG itself brings the randomness into each level and playthrough, so each player might get different experience to tell! maybe you can make a decipher manual into some kind of grimoire that the player and cultist use to decipher puzzle of the ritual.
Despite that, I really love the direction you guys are going for! It has a lot of potential! :D
good game i really enjoyed
This hand drawn sprites with sounds produce a really cool atmosphere! But it was sad for me that there is no saving, some checkpoints would have been great!
Very stylish, the artwork looks very cool! I couldn't get past later stages since I have the memory of a goldfish, but this is a pretty nicely done memorization game.
I feel like so powerful when I guess it right first try. Just smart like that. But anyway, really cool game. Looks really polished for a week-long game jam!
Like the style very much! feel like faith unholy trinity and from what I look the gameplay look polished and fun.
I really like the art style! Great job!
Distinct art style, very errie and atmospheric audio!
The gameplay for me is just not that good (sorry!) I really think it would be better if the rituals are shorter, next rune of the incantation should have a clue, and disadvantage for players like randomly erasing some symbols at the top bar.
Overall, still a good time playing your title!
Very cool! loved the atmosphere
Very fun puzzle game where you must be really quick! I liked you visual and audio!
love it! nice way of showing the tries and time left with the candles :)
Cool game! I really like the art style of this. I liked the ramp up in difficulty, kinda felt like playing simon with some guessing mixed in. I wasn't able to win because rng was absolutely wrecking me, but I enjoyed my time with the game. Great work!
Great game! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get too far because I kept messing up. Are there hints or clues as to what the sequence is or is it all just trial and error. I felt like I was doing it wrong. But the game looks great!
Its Completely RNG at the moment, with it being pretty unforgiving even as the Dev I have a hard time cause rnjesus is not my friend lol. It gets especially hard later on trying to remember what you've already tried or not. Later updates will include things to help with this as well as hinder. There will be, between acts, a choice sacrifice (a roguelike element where you choose one that will have a positive and negative effect) that will change the play style and make each run feel more unique as well as some quick time events to switch up the monotony.
Thank you so much for playing!
Sounds interesting! Good luck!
Great art style and fun concept, although a little confusing at first.
Art and atmosphere were great! Loved the audio and the gameplay. Very well rounded game. Great job!
GREAT visuals & the audio was SPOT ON; really fun game!
I'm a fan of the artstyle :)
good style
:D thank you!
Really nice game! I like the art mixed with the simple gameplay loop. Great job!
:DDD
Bravo! Great work with the puzzle elements, and big fan of the pixel art. Super fun scenario for the theme :)
