cool game, addictive, it was cool to play such a game made in just 2 days
The animated intro alone makes this game worth trying! All of the art was just really lovely, and the rituals felt very satisfying to complete! Also, an absolutely excellent name if I may say so, with my totally unbiased opinion https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/summoning-for-dummies-2 ;)
Pretty cool game, the art, and the start scene really helped to set the mood, also music very on point!
As much as I appreciate the gameplay, I really value the graphics and sound design, and how they're combined. Seriously, you've created such a good atmosphere that I'm impressed.
Great game. I'm a big fan of pikmin, so was getting into it there. I noticed one of the spawns got stuck spawning, but you probably know about it. Well polished otherwise.
This is fantastic, everything came together so well. Great work.
The game is simply stunning, the graphics and the audio are really creating an ambiance and work really well together. I was kinda lost on what to do, but just vibing in this game was a pleasure !
Congrats :clap:
Loved this, very pikmin like! game could have done with a bit more signposting on where the summons go, but otherwise a fun time
OMG this is so cute! An amazing intro cutscene, an in-game tutorial, fantastic pixel art, and such an original gameplay loop that fits with the theme of summoning. Many minions were sacrificed :cry: Love this submission and thanks for taking the time to make a Mac build!
Very beautiful, and the sound are also really cool ! the concept is fun, but I've had some trouble finding enought minion to sacrifice, also the music loop end after some times, which is a bit sad given its quality :(
Also, since you're using godot, you could easily make an export to html5 and uploading it to itch.io, making it easier for people to play it !
Very cohesive game! The sound and pixel art are great. Well done!
I experienced some lag issues toward the end, but overall I enjoyed myself
Absolutely fantastic submission!! The animations are awesome, and the addition of the tutorial helps a lot! It's very polished, fun, cute, and full of character.
A fun little game, I loved walking around with my swarm of minions and obliterating monsters hahaha :) Some problems I noticed: sometimes in when summoning, the minions don't place themselves correctly around the altar, and I can complete the ritual, and when I exit the altar they get stuck here. Also, it is hard to choose the ritual on trackpad, because it is way too fast. Apart from that, very cool! Keep up the good work!
Big kudos for start animation! Even if I was struggling a bit with second summon (was hard to get enough circular guys and did not know how to fight bad guys until I tried to bring other friends along), the mood you've set up and graphics was worth it and I still enjoyed playing :)
I like this game! You guys are great!
I like the concept of the game, that we need to recycle minions into different minions to progress in rituals. However, the level feels too big to explore, considering that the game doesn't have any challenge. In addition, it's not that obvious that I need to use mouse wheel to switch between the rituals because of an icon.
It was very fun but I could never get the minions to go into the spaces without a lot of intervention. The idea was very good and great take on the theme. Thanks for making it.
i really like this. Well done.
Love the idea behind it and how it's executed the pixelart is adorable is well! Here are somethings i encountered:
- after a while in the webbuild it gets super laggy and becomes unplayable maybe limit the amount of creatures that can spawn
- at somepoint my summons wouldn't go into the circles anymore since the circles were super stuffed with different summons
- just for some change I would love to see different sounds by the summonings it can get a bit monotone after a while
Very good game for the amount of time we were given! Keep it up :D
Very cool entry, impressive scope for the available time. I love your art style, very cohesive
Cool game! The visual polish is very nice!
While the minions going to their respective spots when summoning is great, I find it to be a bit buggy, as they can easily get stuck on the pedestal and not be able to go to their place.

There is some issue with the animation mixer, possibly trying to access despawned objects or something. It seems to get worse over time to the point of becoming very laggy. The sound also cut off at one point for me never to return (when I exited the fullscreen and gone to record the above footage). Played the web version.
Think you should add one or two frames to the player's walk cycle as now it seems as if they just extend one leg and hop on the other repeatedly.
I felt like my small minions weren't doing much in battles and died a bit too easily. Maybe there could be a weaker enemy type at the beginning to feel more fair or just having some more visible punch to their attacks would make me believe they are trying.
The stepping sound was a bit out of place for me, maybe something more muffled like you are walking on soft grass would work better for the visuals.
When you have no minions following, it is a bit weird to have their sound play when pressing on a spot.
Would be cool to have some cursor appear at the last point you sent your minions.
Overall most of these are small nitpicks and you did a great job! Especially impressive work on getting all the tutorial and intro sequences in and keeping it all so cohesive with such a large team.
I just love dragging all the minions behind me. It looks so funny. I just exaggerated a bit because at some point I had so many that I couldn't do the ritual anymore because the framerate was so slow that they just stopped at one point xD... The intro video was also great. I had to laugh.
It's a very cute and enjoyable game. Elaborate beautiful map and incredibly cute summons! Special respect for the sound design, the music is really cool. The appearance of enemies was a surprise, my poor little ones :(
Beautiful graphic design and gameplay. You've done a great job! Sometimes the little demons grouped near the altar stick to it and won't take up space around it, preventing me from summoning.
Very nice! But unfortunately it got very laggy (~3fps at the end), and the end cutscene was just black, when I cleared the game. Good thing you added the "V" button, so I got to see it anyway. :)
Cute minions, nice intro animation, perfect music and sound effects, good gameplay. Almost perfection!
My one wish is that you could see how many minions you were supposed to gather for the summoning, when you went out in the wild to find them.
I also had some problems getting the minions to go into their circles.
Great game. Loved the atmosphere.
The only issue is that I was slightly confused at the beginning. I didn't understand that I need to use a mouse wheel to change the ritual :)
HeY! That's a great game! You did a cute mood! The are and sounds are awesome! Also all visual effects are very beautiful and polished! When I played enemies didn't attack me and there was no challenge for me then. And also I didn't understand why I need right click, because it did no effect. I tried it when summoning and when gathering minions but I just didn't understand what its purpose.
Also sometimes minons just didn't want to go to summoning positions whatever I do. And to the end of the play tha game's fps droped and it was hard to continue.
Anyway, you did a lot for these 3 days, your game is very cool! Thank you for this!
Very nice idea!! Only issue i faced was that sometimes your pets dont go to their places in the altar because they get blocked by it, but overall the game is pretty addictive and fun, good job))
Great idea and really visually polished for such a short amount of time. I didn't beat the game due it being a bit grind heavy, as well as the little minion guys always getting stuck on the altar and not listening to me a lot of the time. Still, that being said, really enjoyed it!
this was a cool idea, i enjoyed playing it. the pixel art was very well done, the animations were really nice and the sound fx were great too! i loved the little sounds they made. intro cutscene was a nice addition. i did run into a few bugs though, like the minions not taking their position when trying to summon, the animations when new minions would appear getting stuck and the sound cutting out after playing for a while. overall i had fun playing though, well done!
Lovely little game and looks super cute. I unfortunately couldn't complete the big ritual due to performance issues as more and more minions followed me and tanked the frames. I enjoyed it nonetheless, great job!
five stars game
Very nice art! It's really cool that you even managed to make cutscenes (and it's cool that you can skip them :joy: ). With a very large crowd, the HTML5 version noticeably started to lag :scream: I enjoyed the game!
Really nice vibe
I like art and music but I feel that sometimes the minions go a little crazy. Anyway it's a good game. Good job!
