How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
Getting picked as an offering to the old gods must be a real bummer

Hi! Artist and developer here!
I wanted to thank everyone who played our game and announce that an update has been uploaded to the game page! We're still cooking a future one, but this one already fixes a lot of the issues reported to us!
Hope you enjoy~
some great art here, and it feels very game boy.
audio seems to not be working which is a shame.
liked that you could jump on pretty much everything
nice work
Hello! We just uploaded a new version of the game (there's still more to come btw!)
It has audio now hahah
Hope you enjoy this version of the game :^)
Yeah it had a few bugs (had the floating priest bug)
Game was a bit slow and wish there was more obstacles
Graphics were amazing.
And sucks to hear audio bugged out.
Hello! We just uploaded a new version of the game (there's still more to come btw!)
It has audio now and it's faster hahah
Hope you enjoy this version of the game :^)
The intro looks great, but unfortunately I can’t get past it. It just stops while floating and then nothing else happens. But the art style is really good!
Huh, that's a new one! Can u take a screenshot of the moment it freezes?
Thank u for playing!!
Hi, thanks for sending the feedback about this bug! We just uploaded a new version of the game (there's still more to come btw!)
Can you tell me if it's still happening?
Otherwise, hope you enjoy this version of the game :^)
A little better now. In the first section, it doesn’t happen anymore, but in the second one, it does. I get overtaken by the floating one, and the attempt doesn’t end. Eventually, it stops while floating. When I move the player (who I can’t see anymore) to the right and fall unseen into the pit, a new attempt starts.
Huh, weird! We're gonna tweak it a little more and see if this keeps happening, so the next version should be smoother in this regard! Thanks a lot for the feedback :^)
That idle player animation is so cool! Never seen anything like it!!!
Hahah thank you, I'm happy to hear you liked it!

This game had a really cool visual style. We see a lot of potential in this game.

Very strong theme and energy, and aside from the prior mentioned issues, I couldn't get any sound, is that not in the web version?
Hi! Thanks for playing!
Yeah, we have some major sound problems we couldn't figure out until monday, so it was already too late to implement!
But we are still working on the game and as soon as the voting period is over we'll update the game with all the music and some bug fixes!

I really liked the sprite work. Lots of depth to the characters and backgrounds. The colour palette was spot on for the vibe. I became an arrow at the end for some reason. Cool little prototype and a great concept for the jam. Looking forward to what comes out gbjam14
Thank you for playing!
Hahah, somebody mentioned the arrow thing, yeah. I didn't notice until after the jam was over, so we'll update the game with this fixed, some bug fixes and all the music as soon as the voting period is over!

Great art, both with the backgrounds and sprite sheets. Cool palette selection too.
I just wish there was more of it, I had a lot of the same issues as other players so I don’t wanna pile on there. I will say if you want to learn GB Studio I’ve found the Discord group extremely helpful in the last five years of using it. You can find me there w/ the same user name, I’d be really interested to see what this looks like in GBS and if you’re serious about doing a full version I’d be down to play test and help with some debugging.
Hi! Thank you so much for playing!
Yeah, we'll definetely be making a full version for this one (as well as our previous game, so look out for that too heheh). We will join the Discord server and look for you for sure! All the help is appreciated
We had a much bigger game design in mind, but with the issues we had, the scope got cut down significantly. As soon as voting ends we'll have a fresh version with all the music and some bug fixes! I'll definetely accept the debugging help and playtesting :^)
Hi hi! We just uploaded a new version of the game (there's still more to come btw!)
We tried contacting you via discord, but I don't think you saw it haha
Still, hope you enjoy this version of the game :^)
The art is very nice! I do wish the game would scroll a bit faster though. Still, nicely done :)
Hi!!! Thanks for playing!
Yeah, our code has work until late during the week, so there wasn't as much time to pay attention to these things
But we are still working on the game to release a stable version when the jam ends! I'll be sure to post about it here :^)

Beautiful graphics, although there are some glitched/shrunken tiles that leave white space around them in some areas. I also didn't know i was supposed to be moving when it started so i just watched the floating guy move until he stopped in mid air and I thought the game froze. I am also not sure why I was sacrificed, I kept going to the right the way the camera went, but when I left the temple suddenly I was just an arrow instead of the person I was before, so I kept moving right and just got the sacrificed screen. I also think the camera should move faster if the character is going to be as fast as they are.
Hi!!! Thanks for playing! I built the game very early in the morning with very little sleep, so I didn't notice I forgot to change a ton of stuff from the precious build D^:
But we are still working on the game to release a stable version when the jam ends! I'll be sure to post about it here :^)
Can't wait to see more!

I would love to see more development go into this game for the art alone. The style is really appealing. An auto-scroller horror platformer of sorts could also be fun, but unfortunately the game is just a little too undercooked at the moment. I'm hoping there's more to come.
Thank you!! I'm glad u liked my art hehe
Unfortunately we had a bit of a rough time with learning GBStudio in very little time since our coder has work until late during the weekend
But we are still working on the game to release a stable version when the jam ends! I'll be sure to post about it here :^)
I'd be happy to help out a bit if you're having trouble getting a grasp on the engine, I've gotten much more familiar with it in the past year or so.
Ooooh that'd be nice, thank you! Where can we contact you?
