Apr 16 15:41:31		God's Apprentice	♥ 3	Awesome game! It's a really fun and interesting idea. The graphics a very cute as well. A small improvement could be to display the objectives inside the levels, so you don't have to jump in and out of levels in case you forgot what you had to do. Overall you did a great job!
Apr 16 16:00:42	19m 11s	Goblimancer!	♥ 2	Fun idea. It took some getting used to, but after a while I was summoning goblins super quickly. It definately feels very rewarding to improve at remembering the combos and executing them quickly. I wish there was a way to see the different combos while playing the game though. I found myself intentionally dying a couple of times just so I could read the tutorial again. Maybe there could be a mechanic where your character can look at his spell book for a short time to view the combos but he also can't move while doing so. Overall it's a really fun idea and I had a good time playing it.
Apr 16 16:14:43	14m 01s	SUPER NECROLORDS	♥ 1	Cool idea. I really like the retro vibe of the game. It's a clever idea to have to balance the power of your minions with the time it takes to summon them and to have to drop your power sometimes to survive. Maybe I missed it, but I feel like there could have been a short explanation of this mechanic though. On my first run I didn't realize that the amount of power I have determines what minions I can summon and I always pressed Q right away. Other than that I had a great time playing.
Apr 16 16:25:25	10m 42s	Underlings	♥ 1	Very pretty game. I love the retro aesthetic of it with its graphics and sound effects. Well done!
Apr 16 17:40:46	1h 15m	Lord of Animals	♥ 0	Super charming game, well done! I love the hand drawn assets. The gameplay is a lot of fun as well and the fruit crafting mechanic is very engaging. My favorite part has to be the exploding hedgehogs ^^ Great job!
Apr 16 18:16:21	35m 35s	Path of Aratron	♥ 1	Awesome puzzle game. It's a very interesting concept and the levels are thought out pretty well. It is quite difficult though. Also, it's stunning how polished this game is. All in all a very impressive entry.
Apr 16 19:25:35	1h 09m	Piggy Harvest	♥ 1	Super fun game! Love all the different piggies. I think the sound design is especially good in this one. Well done!
Apr 16 19:40:16	14m 41s	Crafted Calamities	♥ 4	Amazing visuals. It looks so nice. The game itself is a lot of fun as well. I liked the idea of using body parts to complete the summuning ritual. You could take this idea of "crafting" your own boss even furter in the future by customizing the appearance and abilities of the boss based on each body part. All in all it's a great submission!
Apr 16 20:03:40	23m 24s	The Unholy Rise Of Catthulhu	♥ 2	The artwork in this game is so charming! It just looks amazing. Also well done one the music track. The game is kind of difficult though (which isn't a bad thing). I wasn't able to get past wave 2. One improvement I can think of would be to change the targeting AI of the cat towers. Often stop attack enemies with low health and target another one. I think it would make sense if they prioritised targets with low health or that are along the path the furthest. All in all amazing game though!
Apr 22 15:38:53	139h 35m	Abyssal Ascent	♥ 0	Nice idea. The core gameplay is very solid. Although I couldn't really figure out how to win the game. I kept digging and running out of energy. Maybe a short tutorial screen could help with that. Well done!
Apr 22 15:44:52	5m 59s	Night 333	♥ 1	I wasn't able to play, unfortunately, since I'm not on Windows. The game looks great though judging from your gameplay footage. I think it's really impressive that you were able to create this in such a short timeframe. Hats off to you.
Apr 22 15:57:11	12m 19s	Pony Summon Quest	♥ 1	Cool idea! IMO the gameplay is a bit slow though. I accidentally clicked on the 25-roll tombstone which I couldn't get out of again. An option to open all 25 rolls at the same time would be a nice quality-of-life improvement. Other than that it was quite fun.
Apr 22 16:16:05	18m 54s	Mansion of Dreams	♥ 1	I love it! The voice acting is really nice and the game as a whole is just very charming. Also, it's very impressive that you were able to come up with so many different interactions and implement them all in this short amount of time. That being said, the game is kind of difficult. I appreciate you posting a walkthrough. Without it, I wouldn't have made it through. Nice job!
Apr 22 16:52:40	36m 35s	Ars Goetia	♥ 2	I absolutely love the artstyle of your game! The enemy design, the UI, the blood effects... everything looks so nice and clean. Also big props for the sound design as well. The eerie, yet beautiful humming that plays while selecting sigils adds such haunting vibe to it. Same with the ambient sounds that play while fighting enemies. It's by far the best looking and sounding game I've played in this jam so far. It's a piece of art. As for the gameplay.. it's simple but fun. After a while it gets a bit broken if you manage to stack a lot of sigils at which point you can basically one hit everything. It also gets a bit laggy at the later stages where a lot of enemies are spawning in. Maybe the amount of enemies could be limited, to prevent this. All in all I love what you made here. Be very proud of yourself!
