Talking points of your game
I wanted an excuse to learn the Rust Programming Language and Bevy Game engine. This jam did that for me. I made this game having never used the language before (though I have programmed in other languages for years). This game is a silly frogger inspired cult sacrifice game. Each sacrifice brings you closer to summoning the dark lord. Death is not the end... Death is progress!

Assets you used
Rust Programming Language, Bevy game engine, the the killer beat (which was made during this game jam for this game jam by @thionkid)

Finally, an answer to the question "why did the cultist cross the road?".


Very fun, nice work :)

I thought the objective was to sacrifice the cultists to Carthulu to summon more cars.. Ive been playing wrong, but the cars kept coming so it worked I suppose

Loved it, it's a cool and unique spin on the game frogger.

Thanks! For some reason silly cultists failing to perform a ritual sacrifice because of traffic was just an idea that invaded my brain during brainstorming and I couldn't shake it. This game is the byproduct of that.

Normally I'd advise against having a looped 10 second song such as this. But in this case I'll make an exception. It's fantastic.

However, i would like _some_ reward for completing level 3 :D

Thank you! After throwing together the piece for the game it has been an earworm for me and I just cant get it out of my head DX
I am working on making my loops longer, but its tough making 16s or more

You completed level 3? Hats off to you! Wish I had more time to finish up level 3 and reward the player with something juicy.... maybe an unlock to secret level 4 which was scraped due to its insane difficulty ... aka I never beat it :'(

Nice twist on an old classic! Unfortunately in my attempt, the road was littered with cultists. I'll have to get better!

Many cultists were also harmed in the making of this game >.<

That was very fun! And neat idea! I had a good time playing this game! Even if the the third level is too hard for my skill xD

Also is the safe zone between cars intentional ? Because it was my fav trick to pull out even if if failed at it 80% of the time lmao

Thanks! Balancing is hard lol. Level 3 is what used to be Level 2 and what used to be Level 3 was near impossible so I scraped it. It was also a mad scramble on Sunday while also trying to polish as much as I could. 

Yep the safe zone was intentional. Felt like it was a fun little spot for players to discover. Spent probably too much time futzing with the hit boxes to get the feel right >.<
