Really nice use of the theme. :)\n\nNow for pros:\n\n\u2022 I like the various levels with increasing\/different challenges,\n\n\u2022 The sound is nice and not distracting,\n\n\u2022 The concept is interesting but also challenging, it lives up to the \"puzzle\" genre!\n\n*\n\nAnd for some cons (or \u2013 hopefully constructive \u2013 criticism):\n\n\u2022 I guess it's the price of the game's relatively complex mechanics, but the control keys are not very intuitive,\n\n\u2022 And (this might just be me, though) I also find the arrows vs directions in-game slightly confusing (I went the wrong direction a few times because in-game, it felt like \"up\", but it wasn't)\n\nAnd I think that's it! Overall I think you've done a great job with a unique idea and it's been enjoyable when trying to solve it. :)","likes":4,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"izi","author_uid":"1126482","time":"2018-12-04T15:06:35Z","epoch":1543935995,"modified":1543935995,"text":"fun 1 4 1 4 2 1 4 for 4 1 4 2 1 4\n\nYUH!

I wasn't really seeing the point of the Sacrifice mechanic(I got to only level 5 btw). Because, if the player can remember all the steps involved, there would be no reason to use the Sacrifice. So that makes the theme \"Sacrifices may be made\" rather than \"must be made\". I could be totally wrong on this if it appears in the later levels.\nThe music was confusing. It starts off with a particular rhythm but suddenly changes later. It isn't consistent and doesn't do a great job for setting the mood.\n\nIt felt like Mekorama, if it was turn based.\n\nMaybe a level reset mechanic could have worked wonders. That would have kept me more involved.\n\nThis game definitely has potential.

It was fun and I played multiple times some levels to try different ways to do things. I played on Firefox 64.0 and had no bug or problem, everything went smoothly.  \n\nThe controls are correct and the keys are well chosen. Everything is pretty clear and intuitive. The only thing I would add is a way to unzoom the area. Even if you have the reset feature, it can seem a bit weird to have to go \"around the map\" to check were are the items and have to reset to really play. Was it the way the game was supposed to be played to add to the puzzle aspect of the game?\n\nAs for the music and sfx, they're pretty nice! The music especially, it's relaxing and it kinda reminded me of the J-POP band CAPSULE (more specifically, their song *I Wish You*.  \n\nThe graphics are nice and well polished, be it the \"scenery\", the items or the character.  \n\nAnyway, great job! :)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ThePirateNun","author_uid":"1056995","time":"2018-12-30T23:33:16Z","epoch":1546212796,"modified":1546212796,"text":"Wow that was a really cool game!
