• Use of theme is great. My only letdown is no good ending and i wanted the monster to be more violent even if cartoony. Sounds of gushing blood and my character dying. Love the overall presentation and simple setup for collecting pieces and placing into the ritual circle. Everything works really well and did not hit any spots where I was stuck other than the ending. Is there an ending? After I completed the second ritual it just kept playing the looping music. This could easily be a small part of a bigger game and fulfils that all elusive game requirement. Clear concise gameplay that's engaging. I'm not confused. Not lost. Not trying forever to get a tail or head and place into the ritual. Clear concise good feedback from visuals and audio. Really nice work.
• You all had the most complete experience of all the submissions! I had no idea why the devil came after me. I really loved the moment I realized that this wasnt just a prop hunt game and I had to use the axe to complete the pentagram. I felt creeped out by the environment, I cringed when I had to chop animals, and the music the entire time being an upbeat banjo as if just another day on the farm... Well done!
• Cohesive and well-polished! Aiming was a little tricky but once you got the hang of it, it wasn't a problem. Enjoyed the contained level and gameloop.
• The theme was perfectly executed — you literally collect animal parts and place them on the ground as part of a ritual. It couldn’t align better with the jam prompt. The gameplay felt like a real, playable game. There were clear objectives, a variety of mechanics, and lots of interactive elements. It was a very solid prototype. The highlight for me was picking up the axe, taking down the animals, and then discovering that you could actually chop off the pig’s tail and use it in the ritual — that moment was hilarious and super memorable. The intro tutorial/explanation was also a big surprise — it gave a great first impression and made the whole project feel more polished and ambitious. Visually, it had a fun horror-indie style. It reminded me a bit of those Roblox horror games — and I mean that in a good way! That’s a unique niche with a lot of charm. Huge props to the whole team — I know this was made in a short timeframe, but you pulled off something impressive!
