You are the chosen shaman of Indians Inca tribe . Your people have long suffered from the drought. The gods are displeased! They do not want to send rain to your land. Use the Book of Wisdom to understand what sacrifice can appease the gods.

1.Find the "bone of ancestors." It may be in a dark cave.

2.Retrieve from the wild jungles the Pineapple, an ancient honorary fruit.

3.Go to the great ocean. There you will find the Seashell - a gift from the sea god.

Congratulations! The gods are pleased with your sacrifice.

They want to reward your people with heavy rain!

Cute graphical style, a lot of time must have went into it! The gameplay is very simple, maybe too simple for what it is, it would've been nice to see something unique in the platforming or combat or something. But the art and music definitely make up for it!

And this is not really a complaint for the game, but mixing real cultures and places with total fantasy can come off as a bit insensitive, I think two possible better ways are either making the whole thing fantasy or doing more research into the actual cultures! But this is just a pet peeve of mine, the game is good regardless of this!

Somehow i didnt find the item in the cave even thought i went there first by instinct :(
Anyways the game is visually really stunning and works well as a cute little plattformer! Everything already looks really polished!

Gorgeus game. I loved it. You should add the coyote time mechanic to it. It would made the jumps even better

i love the pixel art style! but it was really short. the longest part was the cave section everything else was just right in the open

I love the art, it also reminds me of a small game I played in the 90's. This is a good entery.

A great game, cute art, very smooth gameplay even when I tried it on web. I encountered a problem, maybe, because I went to collect 2nd and 3rd item first before heading into the cave (since I always go to the right when the game gave me direction decisions). Went to the shrine, nothing happened XD
Overall this is a very good game with simple and cute art as well
5/5 would play again

The graphics, music and level design are all really good. Kind of reminds me of Maplestory for some reason.

I found all three things, but still didn't understand how to finish the game :)
But overall I liked the animation and music. Well done!

From the cover art, to the character sprite and tiles, the art is fantastic! The game was pretty easy going in which only jumping and moving were involved. The game was still fun regardless.


I noticed after you complete a game loop, the stinger plays over the music. But that's such a small concern to be honest.

I hope you expand on this game, and maybe add another mechanic like moving platforms in the future. Its a great solid base you have right now.

Cute little platformer. I enjoyed the art and music quite a bit.

Maybe I didn't get far enough, but I didn't see the summoning theme come into play. But again, I didn't get to the end.

All in all I'd say this is was a fun submission to play :)

I liked the visuals of the game, but i felt like the platforming was too simple and the controls could've used a bit more polish.

Cute pixel platformer. The sound is impressive and really enhances the mystical feel of the game. Good work!

Cute little platformer! Movement did feel a little janky at times but the various environments and art are nice.
