You are the only one left. You must sacrifice any food you find to the Hungry god, or face his merciless wrath. Now go. Sacrifices must be made!

Love Pico-8 games. Audio is great, love the "wrath" effect. And sacrificing the little dog things

Pico-8 is awesome! Love what you have done, it is super eerie!

Always good to see more fantasy console games. Nice job, was pleasantly surprised the first time the thunder and lightning started. Nice touch

Awesome to see a pico-8 game for this ludum dare :) The gameplay is fun and well balanced :) Continue this way!

Great use of the theme and a really fun polished little game overall! I managed to avert the inevitable for a full 2:35 haha :smile:

Well done ! I particularly liked how the rain and the thunder depend on how angry the god is !

This is a tiny little gem. I love the urgency feel the increasingly bad weather gives. The visuals are awesome and the audio fits the atmosphere so well. Great job!

Awesome visuals, in my opinion! The audio was superb, and really intensified the mood! Fun gameplay, although a little difficult for me-- but that probably has more to do with my skills than the game itself. This is pretty awesome all around! :)

The game mechanic is almost too simple, but the music and the art style are fantastic.
