I love the idea. I like the overall style. I like that not all puzzles are the same. They each have gameplay that connects with the puzzle theme. But that font is way to hard to read. I liked everything except that font.
An interesting concept, taking the whole sacrifices must be made concept to a more personal level. But the puzzles where basic and I found most of the challenge coming from the font. I also thought it was too short (I accidentally played it 3 times without realizing I had) But as a base, this has plenty of potential for a puzzle game with a wacky little concept, just needs more outcomes and more choices/puzzles.
@nate-wec Hey, thanks for the feedback. I fixed it so it doesn't loop back to the start anymore. Sorry about the font, everyone, but I self imposed a pixel limit, which made me rely on a 3x3 pixel font.
Sorry for piling on, but I also found the font pretty difficult to read. I appreciate what you were going for, though, and you did very well considering the self-imposed limit.
The "STUDY" puzzle was my favorite. The ending was bizarre and I'm not 100% sure I understand what happened, but it made me laugh!
I feel like the low resolution was a bad decision as it made the game very confusing. A color palette would have benefited the visuals too. For what it is though, it's really cute and actually made sense despite its simplicity.
Really short, but direct like my favorite newgrounds games. I'm gonna be the odd one out and say that i could totally read the font, and it really fit with the extreme challenge you set with such small resolution. i like the different input, and i with it were longer!
Amazing short game, fun and completely unexpected, definitely love at first sight. OK maybe not at first sight, I had a hard time understanding the font at first :p 5 stars all round!
The Study puzzle really threw me in for a loop, good job on that one. As others have mentioned, font is too small, though that's my only real issue. Good Job getting a finished game though with the time constraints :)
That some heavy pixel art styling. I'm wondering where was that part about sacrifice? Also could use some more gameplay its more like interactive slideshow with verrry laaarge pixels :).
Cute little game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1t-6rdylBrI
the typing mechanics are nice ... some sad chiptune would go nice along with this ... like that Passage game ... I had some trouble reading but I guess that adds to the mood. Great entry!

Even the puzzles were cool for what they were.

I had to press every button in the qwerty row to figure out the study puzzle. Pretty funny!

It reminds me that it is already too late here. I need sleeping.
I like the mini game concept :-)
