| Apr 15 13:55:15 | A Heavy Crown | ♥ 1 | Very fun game! I gave it some tries to find an optimal strategy, the best result I got was 72 68 70 77, by mostly summoning advisors that resulted in all-positive outcomes (where possible). Got very immersed in trying to find the best outcomes. I like how you had prepared outcomes for all the combinations of advisors and scenarios, that made exploring them exciting. The art and sound effects worked well too, I liked the voice clips that play when you select an advisor a lot. Great job! | |
| Apr 15 14:20:23 | 25m 08s | Sacrificed | ♥ 1 | Hehehe, made it through the final day by the skin of my teeth, that final sacrifice item sure was something! Very atmospheric game! I got really absorbed into the routine of running the shop while handling the side hustle of summoning demons. The little buzz from the lamp while you whizz through the store and the lighting really brought out a special mood, I liked how you designed that. I also liked how the area got more and more demonic over time, that was a cool progression! Overall very well done, great job! |
| Apr 15 14:57:02 | 36m 39s | Endless Engagement | ♥ 3 | Very fun strategy game! I had a great time trying to figure out how to overwhelm the enemy. The first few times it was me getting overwhelmed, but I was steadily picking up what units to use, and the enemy could no longer keep up. Always incredibly rewarding when you figure out a strategy like that! Great job on the design and the game overall, super fun! Holy donut gods were a fun concept too. |
| Apr 15 15:28:16 | 31m 14s | Demon Farm | ♥ 1 | I farmed good red.PNG I got really into it, my initial goal was becoming powerful enough so I can slay the powerful demons in one hit. Super fun figuring the strategy and balance between summoners and powerups there. Getting this powerful took a couple runs, then I wanted to find out a way to preserve my legacy, so I hunkered down in a corner. But ultimately, in a final reversal of the demon-human role, the large demons that were now coming in swarms sealed my dark presence as I could not even move a tiny bit anymore to collect my gold. True reversal. The whole concept of the game was hilarious, with the farming of the demons for gold, I loved that from the get-go. Had a great time with this, very well done! |
| Apr 15 15:56:43 | 28m 27s | Flower Run | ♥ 2 | F l o w e r I really liked this one, getting into the rhythm of it and just timing it right so Mr. Small is propelled on the next platform. My best score was 10, I got a couple 10 runs, but I can't seem to get the timing right for the 11 mark. Got super into it, I think it has that nice quality where you immediately want to start again after a run to get farther. Very fun game, great job! |
| Apr 15 16:38:13 | 41m 30s | The Ritual | ♥ 2 | Made it through and summoned the final summon! What a fun take on the concept! Figuring out the different ways to get summons based on what is written in the book is an awesome take on the theme! Had several "Ah, of course!" moments in the game, which is what I love about puzzle/riddle games. You have to think outside the box for some of the summons and it feels really rewarding when you get it right. Super polished art and sound too, everything from looks to sound design was wonderful. Awesome game, great job! |
| Apr 15 17:05:00 | 26m 47s | Game of the Name | ♥ 1 | What a cool take on the theme! Just entering names of your friends and something for the eldritch monsters and seeing which of your friends is truly worth his salt during a fight with cthulhu was hilarious. Reminds me of these popular hunger games simulator games that were going around a while back, in that it has that quality where you want to share around screenshots of it to your friends to show them proof that they would get oneshotted against [wingdings name here]. Had a great time with this, I went multiple rounds until I found my winning team. Super cool sophisticated system you made here with the name distance and the powers too, again, I think it's really an impressive take on the theme. Had a great time with this game, awesome job! |
| Apr 15 17:57:32 | 52m 32s | Ghost in the Filesystem | ♥ 1 | I made it to the end, the filesystem is mine! The puzzle piece one had me stumped the most, I did some goofy stuff there like renaming the .png files to .wav and importing them to audacity. But it's all very fun, it was the adventure of getting to the prize (the diary secrets). Very innovative take on the theme, I had a great time figuring it all out, great job! |
| Apr 15 21:28:36 | 3h 31m | VOC | ♥ 1 | Very cool puzzle game! I love when it all comes together during the larger puzzles with more obelisks, it feels really rewarding when you get all the monuments into the same shapes as their holes. The music is a nice bop, I'm still having it on in the background while writing this, I think it works well as figuring-stuff-out-music. Very well done! |
| Apr 16 12:56:32 | 15h 27m | Demon Well | ♥ 1 | Hilarious, easily one of the funniest Ludum Dare games I have ever played. I made a video of me playing it too for that extra dev feedback: https://youtu.be/4SF4fdUIdxQ In addition to what I say in the video, I would also like to highlight the creative designs, I really like the characters you made for this game. Art, Audio, Writing, everything was not only top-notch but also felt like it fit together really well to elevate each other. Really a great game. |
| Apr 20 11:03:30 | 94h 06m | Dark Summoner's Forge | ♥ 1 | I did it, I maxed out the portal, plus summoned all demons and slimes! Now all that's left is to watch the riches roll in! Incredibly fun game, it's so much fun to see the numbers go up higher and higher to incredible values, you really nailed that sense of progression that makes these games so enjoyable! Also the little slimes with their hard hats are cute, I liked their sprites a lot. The music and art really help set that darker atmosphere, I liked how it all came together. All around super fun game, great job! |
| Apr 20 11:31:45 | 28m 15s | Sminer | ♥ 1 | My best run clocked out at 6375: 6375.PNG My final strategy was to have two phases to my digging, first I go for all the resources to summon minions, then in the second phase, I'd collect the ores and hope for the best that I have enough minions to protect me. Which worked great! Until they overwhelmed me, but alas, I held out. Very fun game! You really get into the collecting for the summoning. I think breaking it up into different screens and resetting them rather frequently also helped keep a good game speed going, I think that was a cool decision. I also felt that having two objectives (getting resources/getting ores) also really expanded the decisions you have to take as the player, that really expanded the strategies you could go for that was great. The monochrome art worked well, along with the chiptune music, I think that was a good art style pick. Great job with this game! |
| Apr 20 12:22:05 | 50m 20s | I Just Want to Bake a Cake but a Random Wizard Keeps Summoning Me to Teach Sums! | ♥ 1 | Hilarious take on the theme, I was already giggling before starting the game with the summoning and sums thing. The art and sound design was lovely as well, I loved the spinning skull with the summoning that appeared every time the skelecook turned into a skeleteacher and the S U M M O N I N G that goes along with it. Also the cakes are great, I got four of them (for some reason I always max out at 90%, I'm not sure why, maybe mixing and stirring aren't the same thing?). The cakes I got are the salad lover's lizard wonder, the grumpy flowers one, one that seemed very tentacle-heavy and a cake made purely out of energy drinks (this one was for Mark). On the Mark note, the recipe is also super charming, I love the scribbles and personality in there. The sums were a great foil, I have to say, in the heat of the stove battle I genuinely managed to get tripped up, I actually got one wrong, I was feeling the tension. Sound design was also great with the aforementioned sound effect for summoning and others like the one for stirring. Super cool game, awesome idea, great job! |
| Apr 20 13:29:21 | 1h 07m | The Mage And The Assassins | ♥ 1 | The music when you win goes super hard, you are absolutely right to be hooked by that. Extremely fun game! The upping stakes when more enemies spawn in and it becoming more tactical about summon placement as time goes on made it feel very tense throughout! The resource management with heal/summon and the pattern matching when reaching a magic mineral also added a strategic level to it, I loved that. Art is super good, I love how polished everything looks! Writing has a lot of charm to it, the tutorial having some quips and the twist ending were great. And of course the music, the music is incredible in this, not just the aforementioned winning music, but also the one during the main game. Great job all around, very well done! |
| Apr 20 13:48:26 | 19m 05s | Diemancer | ♥ 1 | Super fun game! I also couldn't put it down and had to keep trying again, I tried to match some of the higher scores in the comments, but I couldn't quite reach the 4k range. Very well designed card effects, especially with the multipliers and the imps summing demons and demon lords, that really added additional layers to the strategies you could come up with. Card effects and card art looked great as well, very well done! Great job on this game! |
| Apr 20 14:18:43 | 30m 17s | Fausto | ♥ 4 | Super atmospheric, I love the mood you set with this game. Audio and art are incredibly well done, amazing. I didn't really have any problems with the dice, like the description made it sound super hard, I just went with the trusty "big numbers good" and "dice with symbol facing up good" and Mephisto stood no chance. Well, there were also the effects from the dice (those were a nice addition), and it did get more tense when he gobbled up one of my attack dice. I also liked that you could roleplay as Faust in this, via the selection at the beginning and end of the game. My Faust was powerhungry and chugged Mephisto's reward down. Super well done, great job on this game! |
| Apr 20 16:17:07 | 1h 58m | Elemental Surge | ♥ 1 | Those are some CUTE elementals. Especially the light turrets, they have the cutest little faces. Music is great too, both art and music feel super polished, it's amazing! I love the gameplay too, it always feels fair while keeping you on your toes. Personally I tried to generate lots of light turrets by mixing three elemental types, and that created a fun chaos (in my favor) and that felt great! Maybe not the most effective strategy, going by some of the other scores I see here, but I had the greatest time. Very well done, great job on this game! |
| Apr 20 16:30:57 | 13m 50s | Summoner's Pit | ♥ 1 | Super stylish, I love the music together with the FPS-style gameplay, it's super cool! My best score was 50 enemies and 609 score, the golem summon had respawned but they got me when I tried to take it. Super fun and fast gameplay! The type that makes you want to immediately jump back into it and try again, it's awesome. Very well done, great job on this game! |
| Apr 20 16:52:15 | 21m 18s | Necromatcher | ♥ 1 | I won! I made it through, the Pleasant Valley villagers stood no chance (and deserved it, of course). There was a nice breakthrough moment for me in level 2 when I got it and it all clicked, I enjoy that moment in puzzle games tremendously, and I liked that I also had that here. The art style with the cathode ray-esque graphics looks really neat as well, I think it lends itself well to this sort of puzzle game. All in all very good puzzle game, great job on that! |
| Apr 20 17:06:59 | 14m 44s | Salmoning | ♥ 2 | I love the salmon of knowledge, he's the best (as expected of the salmon of knowledge). Hilarious take on the theme, starting with the idea of salmoning, over all the way to the writing, I had a blast throughout it all. I'm not great at these types of puzzles, as my struggles with the second-to-last puzzle has shown me, but I stayed strong and made it to the end because I knew the salmon of knowledge was there. Sound design was also superb, the sound effects are super polished and the calming stream noises while you figure out the correct solutions works great. I love this game a lot, I think it was great, amazing job on this! |
| Apr 20 17:42:29 | 35m 30s | The Magic Flute: Bee Proud of Me, Dad! | ♥ 2 | Aww, what a cute game and ending! I was grinning ear to ear while playing it, it had a lot of great dad jokes in there, plus the music shifting depending on what you summoned was awesome, I liked that a lot. What a neat idea, I thought it was amazing how it all snowballed into a huge orchestra (complete with cellos and accurate angels of course) near the end. Very beautiful game, well done! |
| Apr 21 10:31:21 | 16h 48m | A Particularly Slow Broom Summoning | ♥ 1 | Very fun game! I had a great time figuring out the puzzles. They were complex enough that I did not see what to do with them first try, but not so complex that I was seriously in danger of getting stuck for larger amounts of time. For example my initial attempt at the bucket puzzle was to throw the stick-yellow liquid into it (unnecessarily). But the inspect button came through, and I figured it out. Second puzzle was great too, my initial instinct was to ram into the wizard and it did its ouf, so when I later figured out that this was in fact the correct strategy to win, that was a great moment for me. The inspect texts are fun, stuff like inspecting the orb and reminding the broom that it is, in fact, a broom, those were very funny. Other than that I liked the animations, I thought the animations the wizard students did were cute, I liked those. Very well done, great job on this game! |
| Apr 21 10:46:28 | 15m 07s | Party Wizard | ♥ 1 | Hilarious game, from the concept of a party wizard, to the things requested, all the way to the googly eyes, I was laughing throughout the entire game! It's really picking up speed at around ~20, I can only ever make it to ~25 before dropping the final request and causing the worst day in the party wizard's life. On my last run that was a request for medical help, so that was extra funny though. The gameplay gets very tense and keeps you on your edge, and it is the type of game where you immediately want to try again and improve your score, I liked that. Very well done, great job! |
| Apr 27 09:42:22 | 142h 55m | TechnoMonk RITUAL | ♥ 2 | W O L O L O Hilarious game, I love the setup with the hangover monk trying to wololo the enemies! It did get really hype in the solo levels when you had your armies clash, I especially liked the final level where you gather your troops and then swoop in near the end. The art is incredibly charming, the techno-monk has hilarious animations, especially on the win and lose screens, those are amazing. Audio and voice-overs were amazing too, again, they add a large amount of charm to this game. The techno fight music is an absolute bop too, I wanted to highlight that. Awesome game, great job! |
| Apr 27 10:00:29 | 18m 07s | Messiah OS | ♥ 1 | Very atmospheric! I like the silhouette art style with the accentuated blood. The lighting effects and the rain are really neat too, I think they add a lot to the and it was a stormy night feel. Same with the rain audio, it really helps set the mood. The jokes made me laugh, the ocean one is the best one, I liked that messiah OS option. You made a cool game here, great job! |
| Apr 27 10:15:07 | 14m 38s | Pack Goat Hero | ♥ 1 | I protected the king as my third summon and I won the game! A beautiful perfect ending. I had a couple of runs, I think near the end my optimal strategy was to always go straight to the mission objective and ignore the roads, and try my best to eliminate all wolves before the attack goats die, as long as those goats (greatest of all times) are still around, everything is going well. And it worked out for the most part! I think I only lost one during my winning round. Very fun game, I like the missions giving a lot of context to the world we are traversing. The fighting is cool too, I liked the way slashing the wolves felt, I think that was designed pretty well, both animation/art-wise and SFX-wise. Your kids did well creating the sounds and graphics! I had a lot of fun playing this game, great job! |
