WASD to move, arrow keys to shoot, protect the white dudes, kill the red dudes, press spacebar to sacrifice white dudes to get stronger.

I'm tired as hell after working on this so no, I guess I'm not gonna put a better description here.

I feel like the only gripes I have with the game are that the stat increases are a bit subtle, at least until you get to a high enough number. The game also seemed to favor speed over every other stat whenever I played. Also, the little area where you see the stats is a bit hard to see. Maybe bring up the alpha a bit idk.
Other than that, good job! I liked the art, the music is great, and the controls feel good! Sacrificing is also fun, and lets you experiment with not sacrificing at all, or sacrificing all but one of your citizens, etc. It leaves a bit of player determined fun I guess???
Also motivate button easily makes this game 10/10

Very catchy tune. Gameplay got repetitive very quickly though. Some varied enemy types and/or some temporary boosts/abilities would be nice.

Nice 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/7Oqdb7VuCRQ

Simple, stressful, addictive, minimalistic, great project! ... btw the music is also awesome!

Loving the minimalism and 8-bit music here, also it plays really nice.

Nice coherent art style, everything feels polished and well put together, from code to art to sound. It's always impressive to see compo entries that are so well rounded as this. On top of that you used the theme in a good way.

Fantastic entry! :smiley:

Very smooth experience! The controls, graphics and effects feel very polished. I really liked the slow down and zoom effect with the sacrifice selection. Well done! The music and sound effects also sound nice :slight_smile: I hate to ask in the comments, but could you perhaps spare a few minutes and try out my entry too? The play+rate time is comming to an end and I'm not at 20 ratings yet :/ Thank you so much!
