Impressive spritework for a Ludum Dare project.\n\n-Sacrifice mechanic was quite unique, not mind-blowing or anything, but the atmosphere really helped make it stand out.\n\n-The introduction of the mechanic is done very well. I like how it lets you figure out how the game works, giving you that \"aha\" moment once you finally trigger that switch.\n\n-Some of the ways that you have to use the sacrifice mechanic are really clever. Having to figure out that you have to get hit by a projectile to trigger a switch was a cool puzzle.\n\n-Another neat use of the mechanic was dying to open up shortcuts for your next attempt.\n\n-As I said before, the artwork is really good. I'm impressed that this amount of detail didn't take more than 3 days.\n\n-One thing I did notice was that the collision was a bit wonky. Sometimes I would just walk into the hitbox of some grinders that were actually below me, and other times I would land on solid ground and still touch the hitbox of some grinders that are behind me.\n\nOverall a really cool game, especially in terms of puzzle design. Great job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"VikTris","author_uid":"1050419","time":"2018-12-17T17:17:14Z","epoch":1545067034,"modified":1545067034,"text":"nice game! the music is fire and graphics look nice.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Haustgeirr","author_uid":"1107568","time":"2018-12-17T17:31:39Z","epoch":1545067899,"modified":1545067899,"text":"Nice game, cute concept.

I got a little bit frustrated by one of the slimes - literally the very last pathway before the exit of the game. I don't know... the colliders were just... off. I kept hitting saws when I was sure I had dodged them, and sometimes when I was SURE I hit one, I ended up surviving. \n\nOthers have also mentioned that the death animation takes too long, and I think I'm partially inclined to agree with them. \n\nI had a laugh at the ending, as that's the first time I've seen someone do something fun with their unfinished ending - which, let's be honest, we all have :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Conduit","author_uid":"1122697","time":"2018-12-17T21:35:11Z","epoch":1545082511,"modified":1545082511,"text":"Loved the flow and art direction of this title!

The dying to solve the puzzles was a good implementation of the theme, it just didn't feel like much of a sacrifice without any lives or score. Then again, I died an embarassing number of times, so a hard lifecap might have been too harsh. But perhaps use that ending level to give a final tally of how many poor slime girls you got killed with your incompetence or something could be an easy tweak to the theme.\n\nThe level design was a mixed back, with ingenious shortcuts but also weird paths to nowhere and oddly placed traps. Still, graphically it was quite impressive. Out of curiosity, did you attend this year's Berlin Unity Conference. I was there, and the Robby Robber tutorial I did there looked a bit like this game design wise, with the tiles and lighting.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Corbak","author_uid":"1074319","time":"2018-12-18T16:29:08Z","epoch":1545150548,"modified":1545150548,"text":"Really beautiful pixel art! The gameplay is simple yet the dying puzzle solving mechanic you went for is interesting. You have a few colliders that apparently are out of place, but that is easy to fix.

I thought it was strange that given the silky smooth animations, it was strange the player character moved their legs faster than the actual speed they were walking, if you know what I mean.  I think the stand-out feature in this game was actually the Metroidvania-like level design.  I really appreciate the many shortcuts added to shorten the path from start to end.  It would have been much more frustrating if those unlockable shortcuts weren't added in.\n\nGiven dying is the main mechanic of the game, I wished the death and spawn animations were much shorter, so I would be able to jump back into the game sooner.  Given the game has deliberate troll traps (mainly to justify the lighting created by death sports), having a quicker respawn would have really helped reduce the frustration of these elements without penalizing the game's pretty challenging difficulty at certain points.  Overall, solid package.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"arnau","author_uid":"1125482","time":"2018-12-21T11:54:41Z","epoch":1545393281,"modified":1545393289,"text":"Eye catching game. Controls are very responsive and makes it a smooth experience. Making sure that the player understands that the place where they die serves as an interactive mechanic with the environment is well done, however, it might be a little bit frustrating having to wait for the animation when dying accidentally.

The idea was clever, the levels were well designed, and the environment felt really cohesive.\n\nFor minor nitpicks, I agree with the other people saying the hitboxes were a bit off, and I wish the movement were just a touch faster, both walking and jumping. If you had a little more time, a death sound effect that made me feel bad for killing so many slime girls would have been great.\n\nI also would have picked different images to advertise this game - the title card made me think I was going to be playing a Doom clone, and the screenshots are cropped which gives them a different feel than I got when playing the game.\n\nOverall this is a really impressive entry.
