1. Eat very little at a time, escaping just before each explosion. This is tricky and takes some time to get working, but once you get the hang of it it's not very difficult (see video here)

2. Get to day 3 with enough energy so that you can just wait and not even try to eat anything. For that you need to eat only one of the two crops on night 1 (to let the other one grow to be more mature). Then on night 2 eat the mature crop and two of the other, non mature crops. If you do that, you will have almost full energy on night 3 and you could just wait in the bushes and stay away from the explosions.

Very cool game! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the moment where you see yourself in the mirror is great. Incredibly polished for a jam game.

Help advance science by solving puzzles and conducting exciting experiments! You might have to make a few sacrifices to succeed.

I made the game alone in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 43 (theme: "Sacrifices Must Be Made").

I'm in the process of learning Unity and it's the second game I've ever made (the first one being Pyramidion which I've made for Ludum Dare 42).

The game is 8 levels long. The missing cheese on level 4 is not a bug :) If you get stuck, there's a walkthrough video on the itch.io page.

Would be very happy to get feedback!
