Nice little game! What really stood out to me is the voice acting, It was really cool. However, the game has a fairly slow start since you have to wait for the letter to be read out loud. I did understand what the game was about, so I guess it worked :). Anyways, good job for making the game! :D

Oh hello!


The voice acting on this game is awesome, though I found one bugg, if oyu hold a blobby during the tutorial the drop button will stay on the screen, whilst the blobby is already dropped, the only way to get rid of it is sacrficing it :P

This is one of the games I enjoyed the most so far. The voice acting fits really well and the Offerling mechanic is so much fun. Great Job!

@caspercaper17 Sacrifices must be made (good catch on the bug :)). Thanks about the voice acting, making stupid noises is my favourite bit.

I have to agree with them, the voice acting is really nice!

As others have said, loved the voice acting. I had trouble accurately picking the correct offerling despite knowing what I was looking for but I think I'd probably get a feel for it after a couple more plays.

Good job! Nice little game but it was pretty tough in the beginning but I got the hang of it. SFX and voice acting were an awesome addition too!

Funny game, and the offerlings are pretty cute/silly. I wish there was more levels.

Awesome prototype. The voices really make it alive. The offerlings are cute. I would love to play to a more complex version of this game. Good job !

Great audio, and voice acting. Great graphics as well.
Intro part was a bit long.

Camera felt a little sluggish and the environment was a bit lackluster.

Everyone's said it, it must be said, the voice acting was amazing. The sacrifice blobs were cute and I appreciated the butt jiggle trait. I love 2D pixels in 3D space so thank you for that as well.

Cheers!

I liked your game! Especially, that you had an intro. also the voice acting is very good, you have a nice voice! The artstyle works very well with 2D + 3D and the music was very pleasant and well made.
Maybe the camera would have worked a little better in a fixed orientation, because there wasn't anything I could see behind me and changing the view was a bit unintuitive at the beginning.
All in all a very nice game!

Wonderful voice acting!!! It REALLY adds tons of personality to your game!
I liked how you made an intro and added the instructions inside the game itself as a Wikipedia page, lol.
As a point of improvement, maybe the camera? It felt weird to control.
Really good game, nonetheless! Keep it up!

Wonderful audio and art! super well done, and so polished. Only complaint - I didn't realize i had opened the game yet because i had so many LD tabs open, and i kept hearing the offerling go "woooOOOahh" every ten-ish seconds and i was SO SURE i had got funny virus from one of the games i downloaded.. so i was super mad at your game when i started it.

i warmed up to it though :D

Wonderful Game, I liked the gameplay, I lost at the blue guy wanting to arrive at a meeting though!

Didn't know what I was going to play, but was really surprised haha!
The sound is really great, nice job on this part :)

I have a question, is the game composed of 3 sacrifices only? I see on your screenshots some instructions I didn't have in Game :( A yellow characters thanks me and a button "try again", if yes, it's a bit short, I would have loved to have more offerlings to inspect :eyeglasses:

@grena Thanks for playing. Well spotted, yes we removed some of them instructions as we didn't want people to be too confused. We only had enough time for three! I think what we've learnt for the future is to write a system that would allow us to generate levels from a template so the game would last a little longer.

Really cool game. Very unique. I liked it a lot

That was funny. I really enjoyed it, the only error I can point out is that in the encyclopedia it says "tache" instead of "stache". Good work. I really liked the music and added voice work.

Levels 1 and 2 were quite easy. I really could not figure out which offerling had a jiggling butt though. I thoroughly enjoyed the voice acting.

Guys! You've also come a long way! This is awesome. Really polished, good looking and funny! I had a great time. I love how you have expanded on the funny round looking creatures. I love them. Amazing stuff!

One question out of curiosity, is the voice of the beginning yours? It really fits (well all the audio fits great) but I really enjoyed the intro voiceover.

@gerardb Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it. The voice over is ours. I don't sound like that normally - I've got a Stokie, UK accent.

Well, I didn't think I'd be intensely looking for a creature's jiggeling butt cheecks today but.. you know.. sacrifices had to be made. Voice over was great!

Great job with the sound — I agree that the voice acting really adds a lot to the game. It took me some time to find the last critter but I got the job done. An unusual experience.

Thanks Steven Dimble!

This was fun, loved the voice work and mood. The offerlings were very cute! I imagine you had plans for a lot more offering types and scenarios, but there was enough there to get a feel for the game :)
