Graphics are alright, the little wisp\/ghost creatures and the shaman sprites look great which is why it seems strange with the tiles looking a bit lackluster.

I did find a bug where you don't take damage when you sacrifice at the same time an enemy hits you at one heart.

The idea is really cool, and reminds me a bit of We The Giants:\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wSG2iYU8vIc\n\n:bug: I noticed you could cancel the sacrifice animation by jumping during it (or jumping and triggering the sacrifice while in the air). I also ran into the invincibility bug, I triggered it by jumping on spikes and sacrificing myself in the air, when I hit them the character died with the spike death animation, and spawned a platform (and all my hearts were gone).\n\n:point_right: I thought it was strange that death triggered the platform, but thing could also hurt you... maybe it would have made more sense if every time you died to had to start over (now with a new platform), and every death would trigger it (not just a sacrifice).\n\n:star: Overall good job, and thank you for making this.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Yorsh","author_uid":"1039038","time":"2018-12-21T14:46:56Z","epoch":1545403616,"modified":1545403631,"text":"It looks and sound really good !\n\nThe idea is a bit too \"safe\", it fits the theme tho.\n\nI feel like the jumps are too fast for the slow move speed. I think the character could have been a little bit more floaty.\n\nThe game kind of freeze a little bit when the character kills himself, I don't know if it's intended or if you are reloading the scene or something, but imo it should be smoother. I think it's important that the main mechanic feels good.\n\nAbout level design, it looks like you made it so that the second jump is impossible to make, and you have to sacrifice a life to make it. That's great to teach how to use the new mechanic, but if it's indeed the intent, you should make it obvious that you can't simply make the jump and you should find another way.\nAlso I tried jumping on the enemy ghost thingy, maybe it's me being dumb, or it could also be more obvious that you shouldn't jump on it.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld43\/120885-5bc631764c74303645009de03eef014d.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/machinode.itch.io\/msitu","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/machinode.itch.io\/msitu","text":"macOS"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"43460","g_author":"1050770","g_event":"LD43","g_eventkey":"71","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"225926","g_title":"Msitu","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"740","g_commentcount":"17","g_site2_node_id":"120885","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"120885","n_urlkey":"225926","n_parent":"120415","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/43\/msitu","n_slug":"msitu","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"50770","n_created":"1541838809","n_modified":"1543957602","n_version":"405589","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":120885,"parent":120415,"superparent":9,"author":50770,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-12-04T01:46:40Z","created":"2018-11-10T08:33:29Z","modified":"2018-12-04T21:06:42Z","version":405589,"slug":"msitu","name":"Msitu","body":"![Cover image](\/\/\/content\/256\/c\/z\/1d6cd.png)\n\n### About\nYou are the shaman of a wild tribe, crawling through haunted forest.
