I love the idea and the art but I think the game is a bit too slow for me. Starts off cute and funny and quickly turns into a clicker. I understand that this is THE GAME but maybe just not for me? 5 stars for the theme and visuals tho!

Hi, thanks for feedback !
We've actually made it possible to break the game quickly and progress in the early game so that it can be easily completed during a game jam, but it's normal to overlook it.
My advice for early game play is to keep all your resources above 0 (constantly control them with WASD and click to generate additional resources if necessary). Then, recruit as many cultists as you can, rather than waiting for growth.
If you've reached 15 blood (a few cultists can be sacrificed), purchase the 1st blood upgrade. This will multiply your money quickly.
Then, purchase passive/active buffs for all resources (I usually fill up the auto click last). Then, rapid growth will begin, recruit more cultists, and acquire as many as you can, perhaps 400-500.
In this case, you'll have a lot of money, but you can sacrifice some of it and buy the first upgrade repeatedly (levels 3 and 4) to completely break even.
After this point, if you upgrade all your resource earnings, you'll grow very quickly, as resources will come in very quickly.
Recruit as many cultists as you can through growth, and then sacrifice a large portion of them. Keep buying resource upgrades and new cow,wheat, etc.. If you reserve going below 0, buy upgrade and provider more for that resource.
You can quickly break the game by purchasing Overlord - Bloody Ritual (the 5th and 3rd blood upgrades) with the blood you earn. I've seen that the overall gameplay takes 30-40 minutes, but this way, it can easily be finished in 10-15 minutes.
