Apr 15 13:44:20		Ritual of the Meek	♥ 1	meek-ss.png I somehow managed to move that smaller platform to the other side of the bigger one 😅 I spent a long while trying to figure it out, but fortunately your gameplay video had that room so I could see that something is amiss with mine. Reloading the game fixed it.
Apr 15 18:20:30	4h 36m	Artisan	♥ 4	As always, a visually impressive and polished entry from you! The voice acting really elevates the feel! I think this is a bit light on the theme, though and collecting the materials seems a bit too easy. Great work nevertheless!
Apr 15 19:14:24	53m 54s	Cupcake Summoning	♥ 1	I am somewhat a loss for words, but also determined to stay rigidly on the path of not making any cupcakes. Original and didn't outstay its welcome, well done!
Apr 15 19:26:20	11m 56s	Stars Align	♥ 1	This is a very solid puzzle game and you get a lot out of a simple core mechanic. The level design and pacing works well, too! It's as you this is not your first puzzle game ;)
Apr 15 19:36:01	9m 41s	Diablillos	♥ 0	I really liked the art and the simple core gameplay works well, though I did wish I was able to summon some other imps too! I think there's actually a bigger (if still relatively small) game here. Getting reset to level 1 after losing level 5 felt a bit too punishing though!
Apr 15 20:47:53	1h 11m	Summoning	♥ 1	That was cool! Very simple gameplay but a lot of style! Loved the ending too!
Apr 15 21:00:50	12m 57s	SUMMONING	♥ 2	This is a very polished entry, even the very intro is perfection! The sword "throwing" gameplay is cool, though I ended up accidentally selecting some updates while clicking frantically to attack the enemies.
Apr 16 13:48:55	16h 48m	Summoners Word	♥ 1	I love the idea, but I only got the second one by accident and I'm completely stumped on the third one.
Apr 16 15:43:12	1h 54m	A Tale of Six Rites	♥ 1	ahem I'm here to present to you the most elegant game of this Ludum Dare award! Great entry, short and sweet, excellent visuals that play perfectly together with the audio, and a rare LD puzzle that doesn't get infuriatingly difficult suddenly.. A bit light on the theme, maybe.
Apr 16 16:35:57	52m 45s	Summoner Symbols	♥ 1	This game is so much up my alley you wouldn't believe. It took me over half an hour to complete and I rarely spend more than ten minutes on a single game. The writing and the art are top notch and the puzzles were excellent with a couple of exceptions. I agree with @foolmoron that it would be useful to have the book visible while you draw the symbols and that it was a bit daunting in the beginning. As much I enjoyed solving the riddles, the mechanic started to get a bit stale towards the end. Also, some times it wouldn't register the signs correctly and some words were a bit too similar (hate and wrath are essentially the same thing, for example). I don't know if it was intentional that the last symbol covered all the dots, but if so, nice touch :)
Apr 17 08:05:00	15h 29m	From Dust	♥ 1	Took me a bit to get a hang of it (a tutorial would be nice), but once I did, it was tons of fun! The difficulty curve felt a bit steep, but that might also have been because it took me a while to get going.
Apr 17 08:47:23	42m 23s	Tristram	♥ 4	Oh wow, that's a lot of content for a Ludum Dare game! The idea is fun and the gameplay reminds me of Darkest Dungeon. It was a bit light on the theme, but I would seriously consider continuing to work on this, since I think it has a lot of potential as a standalone game.
Apr 17 11:31:02	2h 43m	SUMMOGON	♥ 1	I kind of accidentally brute forced it 😓 Visuals and the sounds and everything support the feel of the game well!
Apr 17 11:53:45	22m 43s	The Ritual	♥ 1	The music reminds me of Shadowgate, somehow! Overall, theme well used and the game is a fun puzzle and has some genuine a-ha moments, and the main mechanic is pretty clever, but at some point it become bit of a chore to make all the "ingredients".
Apr 17 12:06:18	12m 33s	Globeba	♥ 1	You really nailed the zelda-style level and puzzle design here!
May 2 19:35:01	367h 28m	A cake from beyond	♥ 2	What a lovely adventure game! I see you had maybe played Day of the Tentacle before 😆 Looks and sounds great, and the writing is good too! I wouldn't have minded if it were a bit longer, but a lot of fun this way too. Comments/small nitpicks: - In the beginning, I think moving "she is dead" to the next dialogue would have a bit more punch. - Would be good to have a different cursor or a highlight with the change room arrows. - Why doesn't the rubber chicken have a pulley in the middle?
