Really cool and polished entry. In the beginning it was a bit confusing what to do until I realized what kind of game it was. I really enjoyed playing it and multitasking to keep the cultist alive while solving the game kept me on the edge all the time.

Like @spacecadet it took me a couple tries to get started. Perhaps the initial panel should be removed or some form of hint given to start the ball rolling?

Once I got into the flow, the game became a really nice balance between keeping the cultist alive and solving the puzzles.

Really awesome idea!

Cool game! fun idea and nice execution! I had no problem with puzzles, no need to for additional hints here.

I struggled a bit to understand what I should do at first, but it was very fun in the end.
I liked that you have to perform actions at the same time that you check that your character is not eaten.
It was sometime a bit weird in the interactions, for example I took some time to understand that nothing could cross the wall between the "control panel" and Chtulu.
I liked the riddles, good job !

The game kept me playing until I made it and killed Cthulu. Thx for the game.

Much like the rest of the players. Slow start but great fun afterwards. It appears things can get stuck on the hear though.

I really enjoyed this game. The aesthetic was really nice and I was impressed with how many puzzle components you had. This is one of the few ludum games I managed to actually finish

same as everyone else. I was super confused at first but once i started clicking all over I figured out what to do.

This one is great. I just wish I had the patience to keep trying to figure out how to actually help the cultist escape. I suspect there's gonna be a button behind that lower left panel, that opens the exit. But I ran out of things to try.

Cool concept and fun idea!

Great work :D

Mwahahaha, Cthulu has fallen! I'm the Eldritch Lord now! Bow before me!

This was neat. Took me forever to get started... some indication of which panel could be pulled off would have been great. Or something to tell me to click there. I kept trying to click on the panel with a bent corner, but that didn't fall until the crowbar. But I liked the puzzles, it was bite-sized but satisfying. Really fun, good job!
Edit: Also, nice job on the art!

Not sure how to use the exit and the number part took me way to long, but great game ;)

I KILLED CTHULU !!! Great puzzle game !

Agree with some other commenters that some initial hint about clicking the panel would be good, but once I got that, I managed to kill cthulu! Super impressive in terms of polish, from the gameplay to the graphics and sfx + music. Really cool game, well done!

Takes a whiiile to load for the web version - at first I thought it hanged and refreshed a couple of times. I was happy it eventually did load - loved the "discoverable" puzzle mechanic. Like some of the others, I was confused at first by some of the aspect, but I think that's something to be expected with this type of game - too much hand-holding kills the enjoyment.

Yeeaah i killed Cuthulu. Cool puzzler had fun playing it. I like how you have to püay attention tho the white-robed cultist while solving the puzzles. I also like the sound he makes when picked up. :D
Great entry. Well done.
