It is a little conceived-as-puzzle game where you play as shrine maiden and can sacrifice different items to different gods to progress in a game. I failed to create any decent puzzles though so I don't know if it can be considered as puzzle game. You wouldn't tell it by it looks, but the game itself actually was inspired by ADOM.

Controls:

Space bar - pick/throw items.

X - sacrifice.

Tools used - Godot Engine, Krita, Clip Studio Paint.

Yeah, it crashed for me too after the second level during my first playthrough attempt. After restarting the game everything worked as intended, and it never crashed again.

Also made it through the game itself! The final puzzle gave me a bit of a hard time, I ran out of apples during my first few attempts.

The animations are the cutest thing, especially the little turnaround animation when you sacrifice. The >_

It really looks stunning. And I know the feeling not being able to create intersting puzzles in a ludum dare ;-) I still enjoyed it a lot.

That spin animation is AWESOME. I love it!! The music and the art are very cute!!
The apples are a little bit buggy, one flew out of reach after throwing it and had to restart the game. Nice puzzles and cool idea, congratulations for making this!!

That was so cute and innocent I expected it to turn into a horror game. Didn't happen, oh well.

Loved the art.

Beautiful, well executed. Maybe work the transitions, otherwise everything is great

I loved it! Pretty short, but adorable and straightforward. I was glad to see the limited number of things to sacrifice and the possibility of failure with the three sacrifice stones because that made the gameplay fit the theme nicely for me.

Absolutely loved the slime sacrifice part. My wife said "You just transmutated Jerry!"

Very cute art! I got stuck after I ran out of apples for the fourth 5th puzzle, I believe, but overall I had fun trying it out!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get past the first level as my apple instead of being thrown vanished? Happy to help troubleshoot this, let me know.

I seriously love the art. Unfortunately, the game seems to crash randomly on me when loading new levels. The puzzles I was able to play I did enjoy though.

I really like what I've seen so far, but I also ran into crashing issues (as such, I haven't rated it yet). The first time, it crashed after beating level 3, then after beating level 1, and then after beating level 2. I am using Windows 10.

It's so cute! This is a really charming game. But I got pretty far, I was happy with that.

Ugh... Sorry guys, I can't reproduce crashes on my rig no matter what I do and I don't see anything obvious in code that could cause it. Don't know how to fix it :(

Such relaxing game. Cute art, like the Reimu-lookalike a lot with the spin animation. This made me feel really good :)

@sun-wukong It seemed puzzling enough for the likes of me xD So cute! Absolutely adore Miko and her quest to sacrifice apples

Cute! Though I seem to have trapped myself between two mushrooms, unable to complete the game or restart the level =(

As already mentioned, a simple transition effect could do wonders to make the level transitions feel better.

I was able to beat the game, without a crash or getting stuck.

:thumbsup: I really liked how the game added a second pad and gave it unique properties, and let the player figure it out. (I wish the game could have been longer so I could have figured more things out ^_^).

:point_right: The graphics look awesome, but the changes are very abrupt, both the screen transitions, and also tree/mushroom and grass/dirt.

:star: Overall great job. Thank you for making this!
