Apr 16 14:47:07 Blood, Sweat and Seals ♥ 2 I love the whole rune-drawing thing to summon soldiers, the blood looks REALLY good, it's a unique twist. Discovering new runes and summoning different units keeps it interesting. I was missing a couple runes the firsts levels and I was surprised with myself that I couldn't think of other shapes to try! In the end I think I got'em all but not after quite some tries. It wasn't always clear to me which units were best against others. But hey, maybe that adds to the fun of figuring it out, right? Overall, solid job on the game! It's got potential.
Apr 16 15:27:37 40m 30s gladiatorium ♥ 3 Adorable! The creatures are just too cute, the design for the four different gladiators is spot-on. Loved the sound effects, especially with the dialogues. Drawing those shapes feels very satisfying, though I did struggle a bit with the triangle. Other than that, fantastic job! One thing I really enjoyed was strategizing which gladiators to pit against each other based on their skills. Adds a nice layer of strategy to the game. Overall, great work! I enjoyed it!
Apr 16 15:57:08 29m 31s 6 Kadabra Resurgam Ocus ♥ 1 The mechanic is interesting, unique and it matches the theme well. One thing I thought could help speed things up a bit is showing the key for the fingers over them, and maybe always indicate which shapes match the elements Overall, though, I think you've got something really attractive here. It's definitely worth exploring further. I enjoyed it!
Apr 17 02:10:51 10h 13m Evil Wizard Tower Tycoon ♥ 2 I'm impressed! So many different and beautiful designs for the creatures. The game explanation was super clear, and the interface was a pleasure to navigate. It also feels like you've nailed the balance, played for a while and everything seemed fair. The only thing I noticed were trolls cost 6 and only have 1 HP and low stats, maybe this was intended to be the other way around? Or maybe they are just trolls :P Can we talk about those cards? The visual and sound effects are spot-on for them. I also liked the humor in the card descriptions! As I played more, I started to realize I was planning my next turns rather than the one immediately coming, which is always a sign of a great game. Overall, fantastic work! I really enjoyed this entry!
Apr 17 12:23:52 10h 13m Demon Well ♥ 1 The voice acting and humor are spot-on, making everything feel perfectly natural. It's a great compo entry! The dorky demon is a real treat, and the attention to detail, like the stars. I actually felt bad for poor Henrik 😂 Awesome job, always a pleasure to play your entries!
Apr 17 13:33:08 1h 09m Tristram ♥ 4 The pixel art is beautiful, especially the characters and the mood of the town. There's so much variety in both heroes and enemies! The game feels well balanced, and I found myself getting attached to the characters and feeling bad when one of my best heroes die. One thing I'd loved to see is more agency in party formation. Sometimes the swapping wasn't as beneficial as I hoped, and I'd end up with healers on the frontlines. Maybe I am missing something? Overall, this looks super promising! I really hope you guys keep developing it or exploring this idea! Great job!
Apr 17 16:14:37 2h 41m Burn with me ♥ 1 The card designs are cool, I love neighbour rules :) and the wiggly text was a fun touch. I would love to be able to take my card back but I understand coding that could be a lot more work for the jam I got a little mixed up between 'sacrifice' and 'burn.' They seemed to overlap but also not? A bit more clarity there could be awesome. Overall, great entry! Thank you for making it!
Apr 17 20:17:55 4h 03m Gravediver ♥ 3 Grids? Crafting? Discovering new recipes? I am sold! The pixel art is beautiful, the mood of the game is very well accomplished. The energy mechanic where you place stuff to gain energy and lose it when the chasm expands is genius! Really clever design choice there! Thank you for making it! I enjoyed it!
Apr 17 20:27:50 9m 55s Summoning Ritual ♥ 1 I loved the pixel art! The movement and animations feel very satisfying; everything flows smoothly. Great job. About the story I was like NOOO WHY WHOULD YOU DO THIS OMG I THOUGHT THIS WAS A CUTE STORY😭 Thank you for that ending! :)
Apr 18 11:43:03 15h 15m Dicey Demons ♥ 5 Beautiful spectres designs, I love dice games! Great mood too :)
Apr 18 11:52:02 8m 59s Summoning ♥ 1 Simple but very very effective! This is great, the mood is perfect with the sounds reciting the summoning, gameplay is clever, I enjoyed it!
