made by FriedYeti for LD 44 (JAM)

The Sun God Tonatiuh gave his life in order to reignite the sun and allow humanity to prosper. In order to keep the sun moving, Tonatiuh's debt must be repaid with annual sacrifices in this simple clicker game based on Aztec mythology.

This was really fun, I played for about 20 minutes. Thought it was too easy until the last 5 minutes and I was frantically trying to struggle between gaining more resources while having enough blood at the same time. Well done.

The pixel graphics are really cute! The symbols along the top were kind of confusing / not completely obvious at first, but once I figured out what everything was it was very fun. I like really like the twist on the clicker game format.

Fits the theme very well and some sound effects would be a improvement. Nice game overall

Oh yeah a clicker! Nice graphics, fits the theme! Understanding the icons was hard though, maybe tips when you hover the icons would have helped? Also the icons on the main game menu are not in the same order as the icons in the popup windows, which doesn't help. I think it lacked choices, I didn't feel like I had to carefully think what next move I should make. I ended up with a score of 31, but honestly I didn't know how I could've done worse or better. Overall a good entry, congratulations on shipping :)

THe graphics were awesome. Got a little confused at the beginning but nothing I couldn't handle playing for a few minutes. Really enjoyed playing the game. Nice work thx for sharing ;D

This is really my kind of game, but I have to agree with others that things were hard to understand sometimes. What do the icons mean? What causes defeat? What's the number in the bottom right after the slash? What's the progress bar at the bottom?

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I tried to make it a little easier to read by adding some information to the description. I had originally planned to do tool-tips and implement a tutorial screen, but somehow time ran out fast.

This was a cool game! It felt a little slow for my tastings, but the art was definitely a plus. Keep up the good work!

It took me a couple of tries to understand how the game works, to be honest.
Once understood, by the way, the game was enjoyable.
Quite classic mechanic but with a nice touch given by Aztec mythology.
A little music/sfx would add something in my humble opinion.

I like your pixel art. The game works, it takes some figuring out but that's expected, good job :)
