| Apr 16 03:04:54 | Attack of the Doom Shrooms | ♥ 3 | Really fun take on the reverse tower defense genre. There's a certain amount of the game that is just finding "good" combos but even those seem to not last forever. I didn't realize my candles were limited until one ran out - really nice design choice to have them be limited resources. I made it to round 3 on my first try, mostly using QWERE. The best part of this game is the way you destroy the towers as you reach them - it makes advancing down the path really satisfying. It would be better if after making a new shroom type it gave me some statistics on what it does, and if there was a library that told me what they were. Thanks for the game, I enjoyed it! | |
| Apr 16 03:10:37 | 5m 43s | Ethereal Transport Academy | ♥ 3 | I love the look of this game, but it's a nigh unplayable slideshow, and I tried it in 2 different browsers. :( I tried to find a download because it looks really cool, but I didn't see one either here or on itch.io. I really like the idea of having this grimoire that tells you your tasks and you have to do different tasks each time. Maybe I will check back later and try again! |
| Apr 16 03:14:03 | 3m 26s | An Apprentice's Journey | ♥ 2 | Downloaded the exe, got "Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing? If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)." Hope it gets fixed, I would love to try this! The download was just the one executable, btw. |
| Apr 16 03:23:11 | 9m 08s | Fedora Fury | ♥ 1 | I confess I knocked out my sister before my conscience even mentioned it. The amount of material here is incredible. Like 4? Different songs, and they're all fantastic. The rain sounds are great, too. I felt super powerful the whole time. Maybe it would be better if there was some kind of limit to how much you can summon, perhaps an energy meter that recharged or something? Thanks for the game! |
| Apr 16 03:35:18 | 12m 07s | Summoning Salesman | ♥ 1 | Holy moly this is quite good. At first I tried combining creatures at random, then I figured out how to get quests. Once I realized I had to actually read the text on my cards to learn what each animal was good at, it made a lot more sense. I loved making my deck more powerful, making money to buy more powerful cards to earn even more money. I wish the matchup of the contract with the animals I drew was less random - perhaps show me all the contracts at the beginning of the day but keep the small hand size of cards at a time? Also, it would be nice if I could summon and do contracts on the same screen - it took me a while to figure out I could arrow to the other screen. This was really fun - I didn't finish it, probably because of the lack of variety, but I mean what do you expect in 72 hours? Really innovative, thanks for sharing! |
| Apr 16 03:44:14 | 8m 56s | Attack of the Teves | ♥ 3 | I thought I saw everything this game had to offer, and then the archers showed up! And then there was another map! This is a fun little game. I don't know what Tepes are, but I do know it's satisfying when you manage to kill a giant gang of them with one bomb. I wish I had more control over where I summon the bombs to, though. What is that little sight cone in front of me good for? At first I thought that it was my little bomb detector and I was digging up the bombs or something, but no, it's a summoning game. <3 Honestly, you know what my favorite thing is? Ok, fine, first - my second favorite thing is the gratuitous amount of gore that spawns when you blow yourself up. It makes me snicker. And my favorite thing is how twisted and weird the music turns when you die, I absolutely love it. Hmm, both of my favorite things involve me hurting myself. Maybe I should seek professional help... Great, now I need therapy. Thanks a lot, Tepes! |
| Apr 16 03:49:22 | 5m 08s | Hellish Groundhog Day | ♥ 2 | This didn't quite load on ldjam, so I tried it at itch.io. It eventually loaded there, but it froze when I clicked options. No matter, I refresh'd and clicked new game and it froze again, but I did get to see some cool spooky hands. If there was a downloadable version I would totally try that. I will see if I can check back later! |
| Apr 16 03:59:02 | 9m 40s | The In Between | ♥ 1 | I like this factory game. It's fun how factory games never made sense, really, but it makes a lot more sense with summoning portals! I love the way this game gets harder the longer it goes, as things get in the way of each other. My only complaint is that I find it frustrating how an item will ignore the thing one space after it's interacted with something else. Including delivery portals! I don't know if it's a bug or intended, but I hate it. Still a fun game, though, thanks for making it! |
