Hey so I finally just got all 30 hearts and I still got the 2/2 ending? I am very confused, I was really excited to finally see ending 1 but that didn't happen. Could anyone maybe explain why?
This is a case where more testing would have been ideal. You only need most of the hearts (20, if I remember correctly) for the "good" ending. If you find less than that, you get the other ending.
I thought it would be nice not to have to find every single one and still get the better ending, but as you and some other players have proven, players tend to think you need to find them all, which makes things needlessly confusing.
I hope that makes sense. We'll certainly keep this in mind for our next game ^^,
Thank you! The graphics are very subjective for sure. We will most likely add options to customize at least some things like that to our next game, but for this one, it sadly isn't an option. Thanks for playing either way!
Without a doubt, this is an amazing game. I really liked the ambience, the gameplay, and especially the look that refers to the nostalgic times of the PSX. Congratulations on your work and I can't wait for the sequel.
I'm sorry the game isn't very optimized. As a jam game, we didn't really go back to it after the few initial bug fixes.
There's going to be a small update to fix a few bugs and other problems soon (can't say the exact date yet, but I'm working on it right now). I'll take a look and see if I can address this issue and get it to run at least a little bit better.
The updated version I was talking about earlier (version 1.0.3.) is available to download right now. I wasn't able to test it on lower-end machines, so I'm not sure how much it actually improves performance, but I did some optimizations. Feel free to try it, but don't feel obligated to :)
Yes, Plead with the Elder Gods is basically a sequel. It will have many of the same gameplay elements (platforming, exploration, metroidvania-like upgrades and progression) as well as similar thematic elements. The full game is still a long way off, but we're working on a demo right now. I think people who like/are interested in Mountain God will also enjoy Elder Gods.

This was great. I do feel like it would look better without the scanline filter, but I respect the decision to have it on.
Thank you!

Thank you! And thank you for playing! :)
I really want to finish your game, but when I look at the castle my fps drops from 60 to 9
Thanks for letting us know!

There will be an announcement here on Itch and on Twitter (http://twitter.com/potentiallyodd) once it's live.

No problem. Wasn't your upcoming game expanding upon this Jam one?

Thanks for letting us know, and thanks for playing! :)

I was just done the game, the game was really good and kinda sad.
I hope there are more games like this, i will say good job.
Thank you! "Really good and kinda sad" is pretty much what we were going for :D
We're working on another one: https://potentially-odd.itch.io/plead-with-the-elder-gods
We also have a Steam page in case you want to help us out and wishlist there :)
