Blót is the term for "sacrifice" in Norse paganism.

In this game you need to please the gods by sacrificing wood and crop for the path to open. Thor will use thunder and lightning to ensure you don't drag your feet.

1. Use A/D (or Left/Right Arrow) to run.
2. Space to Jump.
3. Left Ctrl to chop wood and harvest crop.
4. Make sure you have enough to offer when you reach a runestone.

*4th December Update:*

I have added a new version called "Imphenzia-BlotCompoVersion-Windows.zip" to the download list. This version contains a couple of bug fixes for your convenience (added a Quit button, fixed UI so it works on ultrawide monitors, and it is now possible to press OK on the screen when you complete the game to return to the menu). When rating my game, do not take into account these fixes - you should rate the original release which is still available for download. The reason why it's called "Compo Version" is that I have also added a timer up in the left corner because I plan to host a speedrun contest soon =)

I also added a WebGL version. I based that on the compoversion to support ultrawide monitors and I also needed to change the lightning that froze in the WebGL version as well as changing material of the clouds as they did not render in WebGL initially. I still recommend downloading the game for better performance and better audio!
