The graphics are great and the atmosphere is really well done. The only small thing I would suggest is changing the color palette between the shaman and warrior.

Wish y'all had some more time to implemented some of the other features you talked about (enemies and whatnot) :)  I'll have to check out y'all's post-jam version when I get the chance!\n\nThe art and music for this game were great!  Really fit together with each other.  I dig the sort of Aztec\/Egyptian theme you guys got goin' on here.\n\nAs for the controls, I personally found them to be a bit frustrating.  I could never really get a read on where I was going to land immediately after I hit the jump button.  It seems like the characters stop all forward momentum when they jump, which was REALLY tough to get used to.  Thankfully, there weren't too many precision-platforming sections, so it wasn't too bothersome, but it was something I never could quite get used to.\n\nRegardless, I'm a sucker for puzzle-platformer games, so I saw this thing through to the end.  I appreciated the Spyro-like \"treasures collected\" end screen. :)  Nice touch there!","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/130281-a9672a5e267457f5646abbca5c226f12.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1A1alAfem_CBjJZd-kVMMiqqHbBh4nyuy","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1xWT26vwFAHYIl8cUKoinooYXVjuvq3N_","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/cyberstarlight.itch.io\/blood-altar","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/cyberstarlight.itch.io\/blood-altar-post-jam","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"42605","g_author":"1015055","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"225000","g_title":"Blood Altar","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"632","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"130281","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"130281","n_urlkey":"225000","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/blood-altar-1","n_slug":"blood-altar-1","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"15055","n_created":"1543672152","n_modified":"1544043413","n_version":"408380","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":130281,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":15055,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-12-04T02:02:13Z","created":"2018-12-01T13:49:12Z","modified":"2018-12-05T20:56:53Z","version":408380,"slug":"blood-altar-1","name":"Blood Altar","body":"![Ludum_Dare_43_Blood_Altar.gif](\/\/\/raw\/9f2\/z\/1e79d.gif)\n![Ludum_Dare_43_Blood_Altar-2.gif](\/\/\/raw\/9f2\/z\/1e79e.gif)\n\n### \\*\\* We now added a post-jam version. we had more levels designed but ran out of time including them. so now you can play those too. \\*\\*\nPlease don't rate based on the post-jam version, it's only there to show the potential of the game.\n\n## Notes\nWe managed to get almost all the mechanics, art, sounds, animations in. but we run out of time when building the actual levels, so sadly there is only one simple level and it doesn't even have all the implemented level elements.\nPart of the challenge is supposed to be surviving several levels without running out of characters, and obviously this cannot be shown with one level. we already had the other levels designed. so we will upload a link to an unofficial version with the levels added later on, which will not be part of the actual LD jam submission.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9MUl-cVsmkY\n\n## Plot\nThe god of blood needs sustenance!
