Choose someone to sacrifice, then shoot them out of cannons by pressing the spacebar until you reach the final, big cannon which will shoot them into the volcano. Sorry the graphics messed up due to scaling and I had no time to fix this. Also had no time to make a good lava hazard. Also had no time to make music. This is my first ludum dare!

I like your Idea. For your first Ludum Dare that with no music isn’t a problem. Keep it up next time you’ll be better.

@nik2434 Thanks! I'll 100% do the jam next time that's for sure.

No worries! 😀 Game jams are for game developers to learn, after all. If you keep on improving and learning, you will gets there eventually.

Edit: I'm a GameMaker Studio 2 dev too, so here are my tips:

-Build it as a ZIP FILE, not an INSTALLER. Why? You'll get better ratings. It always somehow works, though no one knows how.

-RENAME your game in the Windows Options. Because, in fact, you game is called "Volcanic Ritual", NOT "Made in GameMaker Studio 2".

-following from that last one, make an ICON for it. Here's a very good PNG to ICO converter.

You probably should have exported youre game as a "one time executeable", so i dont have to install it and can just run the game.
BUT, the game was really fun, i was going with the dude that never gives back borrowed stuff, uff i hate people like him. :D

4.5/5 in Humor :D

I agree, I should've made a one time executable, however I messed up my gamemkaer directories (I think), and now I cant create them. Thanks for the rating anyways!

When i run the executable i get the "choose a person to sacrifice" message but i am unable to do anything, no buttons or clicks provide input. D:
