You got me with that sudden sound when pillar appeared. I screamed out loud.
Music and sound effects fit nicely. Game is difficult and engaging. I just wish it was more clear what makes the bar go down.
Keep it up! Cheers!
Nice litle game, enjoyed the music :)
**Good things:**
- Coherent experence
- Nice graphics
- Unique world giving a great mood
**Hiccups (for me at least)**
- The projectiles you're supposed to avoid are the same color as most of what's on the screen so I didn't even see it the first few times and died
- The indicator for which type of hero to capture is very discrete so it took me 3 plays to even see it was there
All in all though, this was great and I found myself really enjoying the fun, but frustrating, mechanics.
I realy liked the art style of the game as well as the overall sound design.
One minor thing to make the game feel more rounded would be to use similar pixel art for the buttons and UI elemets. Those felt a little off by using the standard unity buttons.
But overall great entry
**Minor critiques (my opinion)**
* The indicator of the next hero to sacrifice is not very noticeable. I saw it after a few games. Maybe change the placement or increase the saturation of the indicator slightly
* I'm still a bit unsure how the top bar works. It seems connected to the amount of time left. I'm not sure what the blocks in the bar indicate.
Awesome job. It was fun to play.

I also wanted to note that your itch page doesn't have the link to view the submission. I think you had to tag it with Ludum dare 46 or something to get that to work.
Besides that, I greatly enjoyed this game and had a lot of fun!
