This game is harder than it looks!
Observe, experiment and look for patterns and hints.
But if you get stuck, you can find some instructions below.
Minor hints:
Sacred fire hint
Icon depicts a burning torch. Where can we find this torch and how do we get fire?Sacred dance hint 1
Pay attention to animals from eels' dreams. Where are they even hiding?..Sacred dance hint 2
What is that fish, swimming around the island? What if you bark at it?..Sacred offering hint
Icon depicts a snail in geyser. Notice that the snail climbs up to some peculiar rock. What happens to that rock during the cycle?
Direct solutions:
Sacred fire spoiler
Get struck by lightning, go to the torch in the upper-right part of the island and while the tide is low, try to bark - you'll breath fire and light the torch.Sacred dance spoiler
Summon meerkats with the water, remember the rhythm of their "hm"s, sing the same "melody" to eels.Sacred offering spoiler
You need to make a bird fly in the opposite direction so that it meets a snail on the top of the mountain and knocks it down (like it does with the rock). To achieve this, you need to set the leftmost tree on fire at the right moment of the cycle - before the bird leaves the idol on the lower part of the island.
To escape the island, you need to fulfil all the checkboxes at the same time!

Funny! Well done ;-)
Nice
super cute!! i didn't really keep track of how long it took me but i did it with no hints :3 tho i may have stumbled on the dance solution but i knew how i was supposed to get there at least, just didn't quite put two and two together
Very cute game! Finished it in around 15 minutes, liked the simplicity to the puzzles that left your head scratching for a bit until you payed attention to the patterns and resets.
It reminds me of some of the old puzzle flash games I used to play as a kid!!
Thanks for making this!!
I got the other ones, but got the sacred dance only once by accident. I saw the hint and the direct solution. Still no idea how to solve it.
Edit: never mind, I got it. I just have no rhythmic sense.
this is really cute! the sacred offering was definitely the hardest to figure out, i love all the little interactions packed into this! (and the ending is so fun)
I like little fox games. also this game does real time/time restriction puzzle well, and it makes that aspect relevant, because you actually have to know how you solved the pieces so you can replicate it for the final solve (prevents cheese)
Unfortunately I never figured out the dance and cheesed it 😅
Fun and cute! Took me some time to get the offering, but I blame my attentiveness (or lack thereof :D)
Spoilers
I really should have been smarter about manipulating the bird and count backwards to where the bird should be, but for some reason it didn't occur to me, so I was left manipulating the bird for a long time, lol.Really fun, and the theme makes me happy! I love the effort yall put in to the end, too.
fun puzzle!
