Taking the theme to the literal conclusion, you are a god who needs blood sacrifice to survive! LOTS of blood. Take matters into your own hands and drag your victims onto the altar before your time runs out.

Controls
- Click and Drag
- M to mute/unmute music

Your Sacrificial Lambs

Just an average person. There's loads of these. Does not refill your time, but is worth at least a few points.

A child. Rarer and a more valuable sacrifice. Worth more points and adds some time to the clock

A toddler. A very valuable sacrifice. Worth several points and adds more time to the clock than an older child does.

Assets
* All voice effects by me and pitched up in Audacity
* Other sound effects created in Sfxr
* Music created in BeepBox
* Sprites drawn by hand and cleaned up in Paint NET
* Background made mostly in Krita
* Game Created in Game Maker Studio 2

Game is available for both Web and Windows. Personally, I recommend the Windows version, but only because it runs a little smoother.

Tools: Audacity, BeepBox, GameMaker, Krita, sfxr

As for me It's pretty strange that the play time is limited, but, anyway, the game looks nice and sounds are quite cool:)

Not bad I like who you get more time for taking out the fast toddlers lol

I really love the animations and the font you used, really good job!

Very easy to understand game play and the sound effects add a lot to the experience.

Haha I love it. Reminds me of those 'Squash Bugs' games

Ha ha I like it. Good job!

Pretty great when you can make me satisfied by killing a bunch of innocent people just walking down the road. Nice work, I like the animation and sound effects quite a bit :)

Having a hard time catching those pesky toddlers on my laptops touchpad. Very funny sound effects.

That was funny, played to 1000 points. Maybe there could have been some sort of obstacles that should not be touched or sacrificed to keep the player on their toes

A game totally on point to the theme :D good job

@adventureislands Definitely a possibility if I revisit the concept. I do think the game needs something to keep you more alert, but time constraints kept me to the bare essentials.

This game makes me feel like, bad as a human being, crushing a toddler saying "cookie?" So, nicely done :) Great use of the theme!

The game is very easy to understand. After a while it gets a little repetitive, but it's still good. Graphics could've been better but it does the job. Nice sound effects. Overall pretty funny. Good job :)

Simple but well made 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/Lq0vHUPYciI

I felt like sacrificing teletubies, which is very satisfying lolol ... nice work and very fun game!

Super fun game. I really loved the sound effects XD. I would improve a bit the graphics but its really cool game as it is.

Linky4398 Dec 2018, 11:12

Haha, funny game! ^^ Like others have pointed out, maybe adding some stuff you musn't sacrifice could be a nice idea, but it is alreay a quite charming game. Those damn toddlers sure are running fast :p

Graphics are nice, love the sounds effects, and it's funny. Congrats!
