| Apr 15 03:14:03 | Phasebound | ♥ 1 | It's not obvious you can make the stream vertical, got stuck on level 2 (or is it 3?) for a while before figuring it out. A less dedicated (or more harried) player might have given up | |
| Apr 16 03:31:02 | 24h 16m | Summon Traffic Controller | ♥ 1 | Delightful! I dislike the keyboard + mouse controls but the cuteness more than compensates. IMHO a game like this should be playable with a controller. It's quite a bit of fun |
| Apr 16 03:34:23 | 3m 21s | Critter Duel | ♥ 2 | My opponent was also missing their head, but what an adorable entry. Clicked around and things happened! |
| Apr 16 03:38:49 | 4m 26s | Summoner Chess | ♥ 1 | Cool compo entry! Maybe I didn't read the tut closely but it wasn't obvious that `enter` would start the fight... i was stuck at the placement screen for a while haha |
| Apr 16 12:56:19 | 9h 17m | Claws and Conundrums | ♥ 3 | Looks cool, but I was unable to figure out how to flip the pages in the book. |
| Apr 16 15:23:55 | 2h 27m | Summonundrum | ♥ 2 | First, bless you for the web build. Second, gamepad worked really well. Looks good, plays decently, and all the assets work together well. |
| Apr 16 15:27:09 | 3m 14s | Illusions of Grandeur | ♥ 1 | Too clever for me, I got stuck on the third level. But cute sprites and novel mechanics! |
| Apr 16 15:31:16 | 4m 07s | Welcoming the WORLD-EATER | ♥ 1 | I couldn't figure it out besides what I could replicate from the first 20 sec or so of the tutorial video, but the art is cute and and the sfx are on point. <3 |
| Apr 16 17:49:08 | 2h 17m | Cat Summoning Terminal | ♥ 2 | I was unable to summon a cat, but the aesthetic is cool and I like cat themed games generally. It's just a bit too clever for me! Seems pretty solid and polished for a compo game <3 |
| Apr 17 14:40:23 | 20h 51m | Matthew, Emissary of Balance | ♥ 3 | I like the concept a lot, it works pretty well. I wish I didn't have to use the mouse, but of course there's just never enough time to wire up gamepad support. Cute sprites! |
| Apr 17 14:42:30 | 2m 07s | Gander and the Elemental Dungeon | ♥ 1 | I never got a parry to work, no idea what the timing is supposed to be, but the tunes are great and production values are high. |
| Apr 17 14:45:15 | 2m 45s | Election Occult | ♥ 3 | very very silly! cute art. I didn't quite figure it out but that there are deep mechanics around the meme is pretty funny |
| Apr 18 00:38:06 | 9h 52m | Duplicity: The Game of Fate | ♥ 1 | Can't read it, but the pictures are nice. |
| Apr 18 00:42:48 | 4m 42s | Courtroom Conjurer | ♥ 2 | I didn't really understand how to get a good juror score, frequently I'd see that I need, say, 4 jurors, but when i go out to select jurors it takes me back to the court room after I only selected 3. The cityscape frequently obscured the camera even when i zoom in, making it hard to select jurors. Pretty confusing, or I just don't get it. Art is great and the noises are fun! |
| Apr 18 00:48:04 | 5m 16s | The Fifth Seal | ♥ 1 | I also got Columbarium'd lol cool story, probably the best interaction fiction i've read in a ludum dare |
| Apr 18 01:50:22 | 1h 02m | Demon Doodles | ♥ 3 | Best one I played, managed to beat it (using a tablet) - but it just said I won and didn't seem to summon anything (unless summoning everyone at once for the "you win" screen *is* the summon for that round) The last one was the only one I had to attempt more than once, I cannot imagine how frustrating it must be to play with a mouse, hahaha! |
| Apr 18 01:55:27 | 5m 05s | SUMMONERS WAR | ♥ 1 | It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the controls and ultimately I managed to get past the first level just by spamming F, G, H and the arrows... the same strategy I use for Street Fighter! ggwp |
| Apr 18 01:57:06 | 1m 39s | Euclid's Elementals | ♥ 1 | Please publish a web build! |
| Apr 18 02:02:20 | 5m 14s | NecroBit | ♥ 3 | Took a minute to figure out the arrow key combos (i swear i was doing it right but it seemed like it frequently didn't take). Just *one more* bit of color just to differentiate my summons from the mobs and it would be perfect!! gg |
| Apr 18 02:10:29 | 8m 09s | If Only | ♥ 1 | Ahh! It's pretty cute but I couldn't get past the first level. I'm sure I summoned a half dozen creatures but they just sat at the bottom right of the screen and didn't do anything while my tree got attacked. It's also a little frustrating that I had to click on the screen *and* use the arrow keys, unless i missed something and there's a key I can press to invoke the arrow combination without clicking... |
| Apr 18 02:15:41 | 5m 12s | Sorcerer's Army of Summons | ♥ 2 | I swear I'm mashing the spawn button after the cooldown is finished but frequently they just don't spawn. Managed to get a couple upgrades but having creatures ready to go but failing to spawn is too frustrating. Looks great though! |
| Apr 18 02:34:52 | 19m 11s | Fetch! with Molly | ♥ 1 | Adorable model, tricky gameplay but good mechanics. I enjoyed it even if I couldn't get past the first level. I liked it a lot! |
| Apr 18 02:38:05 | 3m 13s | Tao | ♥ 2 | I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said, this is a high quality PICO-8 entry in every category. |
| Apr 18 04:34:14 | 1h 56m | Summon Get It! | ♥ 1 | This is great on so many levels, there's a lot going on and some cool assets. I wish I could move a little faster, I wish I could play with a xbox controller, but you got a whole game here and it's cool! |
| Apr 18 18:36:38 | 14h 02m | Summoner Tycoon | ♥ 0 | Maybe I just didn't get it, but I wasn't able to summon anything. I hosted a solo game, claimed a plot, chose my walls (but walls never appeared). I went to the lectern, chose my summon type (fire, same as the walls I wanted) and then... nothing happened. Clicking around the summoning circle didn't appear to do anything either. Might just be too clever for me, but the character sprite is cute and multiplayer in a jam is *always* impressive, so good job <3 |
| Apr 19 01:54:21 | 7h 17m | Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools | ♥ 3 | Please publish a web build! |
| Apr 19 02:09:19 | 14m 58s | Celestial Panda | ♥ 2 | I wasn't able to summon anything, but goodness the art is adorable and I really identify with "Equally Confused Panda"! |
| Apr 19 02:14:39 | 5m 20s | Sacrifice acolyte | ♥ 1 | I managed to get through the first round, but didn't understand how. The second round was confusing and lasted quite a bit longer, but in the end resulted in a game over. Sometimes I'd strike an acolyte and wouldn't be able to strike them again for some time later, which was frustrating. Cool concept, great mood, and the summoning circle effects were pretty neat! |
| Apr 19 06:13:05 | 3h 58m | Summoner: The Greatest Wizard | ♥ 1 | This game is indistinguishable from Diablo, even down to the inventory duplication exploit! Screenshot 2024-04-19 021030.png Please tag me if you make a post-jam version with more content, I'll play it again. |
| Apr 19 16:32:01 | 10h 18m | Vampire Summoners | ♥ 1 | `70,500` haha this was great The pixel art was really charming, I found myself playing longer than I would have - I don't typically like this style of game but I found this one engaging. |
| Apr 19 20:21:40 | 3h 49m | The In Between | ♥ 1 | Complex puzzler and tricky, but I put a lot of gems in holes I think... clever concept! |
| Apr 20 04:16:32 | 7h 54m | Demanager | ♥ 4 | I didn't really understand what was going on, mostly I just got summons by flipping page-by-page thru the book and hitting the bell after every page flip because the stuff on the table and the tapes didn't make much sense. Got second place with that strategy three days in a row before I gave up. Looks great, sounds great, the animations and sprites are hilarious and terrifying, good job. |
| Apr 20 05:49:59 | 1h 33m | Paralax, Cats and 22 snacks | ♥ 1 | It's exactly what it says on the tin, and very charming! |
| Apr 20 05:56:22 | 6m 23s | The Fish Summoner | ♥ 2 | I like how you can freestyle a bit and still score, just like Parappa The Rapper! Very zen. The spacebar shortcuts to get past the menu and advance the level/song did not work for me and I was forced to click the buttons every time. All the musical notes seemed to work just fine. Good job, the mechanic works well. |
| Apr 20 18:18:59 | 12h 22m | Heaven Divers | ♥ 0 | I never figured out what was going on, but I think I got some of the arrow key combinations right at some point which made some more cubes appear. Clicking didn't seem to do much and if I am the cube character in the center of the screen I was never able to direct its movement in any meaningful way that I could determine. The animation and "throbbing" of the onscreen arrows was pretty cool. |
| Apr 20 21:52:59 | 3h 34m | Witch Courtier | ♥ 2 | Charming dialogue and character art but despite my best efforts I was never able to render more than `0` aid... It seems like after I connect the dots I can't do anything else except click on the ink pot until the timer runs out! I swear I read the tutorial text twice (it was a LOT of text) but it might just be too clever for me. Looks and sounds great though <3 |
| Apr 20 21:56:46 | 3m 47s | The Summoning | ♥ 2 | Remember math munchers? Haha this is great. Delightfully intuitive in a jam where a disproportionate number of games are overcomplicated! |
| Apr 21 04:54:09 | 6h 57m | Crystalline | ♥ 1 | Perfect in every way, honestly. Cute, short, intuitive, and difficulty tuned pretty much spot on. |
| Apr 21 05:00:35 | 6m 26s | Raising the Bread | ♥ 4 | I couldn't get past Pigeon-Karen but the whole thing is beautiful and amazing. Epic jam game with LOTS of polish. |
| Apr 21 16:47:13 | 11h 46m | Library Fighter II Turbo | ♥ 1 | I didn't *really* understand what was going on but hopping about and spawning whenever I had cards in my hand seemed to get me a win. The friendly fire, though... I rarely had two spawns out at the same time for more than a round or two before one of my spawns ate the other. Cute art, great sounds. |
| Apr 21 16:52:09 | 4m 56s | Telefrag Trouble | ♥ 0 | Is it supposed to look like this? Screenshot 2024-04-21 124823.png I think the character art is cute but it's too small to see. Sometimes the monsters fought each other (i think?) and sometimes they attacked my cities and sometimes they just exploded, I wasn't really sure what was going on. The sprites are cute though! I think I died with 50+ seconds remaining in all my attempts XD |
| Apr 22 14:51:33 | 21h 59m | Bail Out! | ♥ 1 | I actually found this on pico-8 splore before I found it on the LD site. Super cute sprites, functional and complete game loop, and I had no problems with collision. Cute and fun, like pico carts should be. Well done. Sometimes it seemed like the cops ignored my donuts but that didn't stop me from getting a win after one or two tries. |
| Apr 23 13:57:58 | 23h 06m | Celestial Summoner | ♥ 1 | I think I had a bit over 300 when I died... All the sprites were wonderful, it got a little chaotic towards the end but it's kinda fun and I very much appreciate the gamepad support. I love that! |
| Apr 24 00:34:21 | 10h 36m | Slaymore | ♥ 3 | SPOILERS? I didn't have to summon anything after the tutorial and made it down to (what I assume) is the final boss dragon thing in a large room. But after I defeated the dragon... nothing happened! I was trapped in the room because I couldn't jump back out and continue exploring. Did I beat it? There wasn't a screen or anything to tell me that I won, I was just stuck in a pit with dinosaur eggs and crystals. It looks and sounds good, to me it felt like the frame rate was really low - like 20 fps. I played on a 4k display. Didn't have too much trouble with movement, if anything, I really liked that I could zoom around. I didn't *intentionally* speedrun it but it felt like I was... |
| Apr 25 00:35:18 | 24h 00m | Summoning Circle Specialist | ♥ 1 | Got through three levels, it's tricky! Smart and good looking, it wasn't really overcomplicated like a lot of the games this jam. Very solid compo entry, especially with leaderboards and everything 👍👍👍 |
| Apr 28 01:18:42 | 72h 43m | Tiny Summoner | ♥ 0 | Looks like you used gdscript, i think that means you can make a web build! (please make a web build so i can play your game ❤️) |
