(Fixed by dev) I don't think you have added downloads on itch yet? Really cute art, love the style

@absolute-garbage I noticed that, the settings on it were wrong. Should be fixed now!

Creative! I had fun playing this.

I had a fun time playing this! I like this double entendre of "summons" being used in multiple senses of the word. My only critique is that there is a lot of down time as you wait between different summons. This could be made more enjoyable by having quicker or more obscured cues for summoning that require the player to pay attention the whole time. Alternatively, the text bubbles could be replaced by illustrations re-enacting the crime of whatever this trial is for. This would add some story, more engagement, and possibly some humor to the mix. Again, overall a great game with a very very clear level of quality, which is no surprise coming from a clearly experienced game dev such as yourself. Great job!

Not the career I'd envisioned with this skillset but I suppose it pays the bills!

I couldn't really progress for some reason, maybe I keep drawing the symbols wrong but I get the game over screen each time I try to draw them. But I really loved the idea of following the conversation and summoning the witnesses and people xD It was a very cool take on the theme.

Interesting game! I like it!

Although I've seen several games with similar gameplay mechanics, playing yours still brought me great joy. Especially since you've polished this game to such a high standard, where both the gameplay and the audio-visual effects are perfectly synchronized. Frankly, it's hard for me to describe you as merely a "skilled" creator; I'd much rather call you a "genius-level master." You've made my day incredibly happy, and I sincerely thank you for bringing us such an outstanding game.

I love the mood created by the graphics and the audio! Had a smile on my face playing this one, well done :D

Very clever. Reminds me of the DS games that had drawing elements. Nice job!

bollatix23500 2024-04-17 17:58

Its a very original idea and the grafics are soo adorable <3. I was confused because i didnt know that the start was the first to draw and not the final but still Great Job

Very cute and fun to play, it would have been awesome if there were also funny dialogues in between!!

Ah I love this! Just an incredibly well polished jam game that's full of charm. Very clever to combine two different styles of summoning together into one theme. Love the art, love the sound, love the general vibe, expecting to see this game get very high up the rankings.

I love the concept ! the artstyle is really cute ! I thought you were supposed to end the summon with the start at first, so I quickly lost my first game :p
