There are some spelling errors, not sure if that is for comedic effect. I feel like the "hints" are a bit too difficult. I am not even sure what some of those words even mean. Also, if you are sacrificing a live cat for a demon.. Rude! The graphics are really fun though!
Oups, unfortunatly, it's not for comedic effect. I'm not a native speaker and didn't double check. Thanks for your feedback.

Deciphering was fun when I could figure it out but a few of them were a bit to cryptic. the gameplay was a bit limited though I liked being able to move the book around! The art has a real charm to it too.
I like the graphics but I can't always tell what things are supposed to be. I'm surprised I got through so many demons. I didn't notice the pen at first, which is a very important item (I thought it was a wand, and it blended into the background). I think it would help if the items had tooltips (or just redraw the most confusing ones).
Well done this is a fun little game.

I appreciate you can move the book around the screen and like the idea of dragging and dropping the ingredients from the shelf into the summoning circle. I definitely struggled with trying to figure out what the different spells were asking for, but I like the idea and art style!

I really like the concept, the art, and music. They all mesh together well! I found that if I wasn't able to complete a request (only now realizing after reading another comment that there is a pen lol) it was really frustrating to get stuck. I think it could be nice if failing 3x either restarts the game or gives you some kind of penalt, something to give me a new request

I love this game and the riddles; it was fun to decipher! Great work overall! The only frustrating part of the game is when you get stuck. No matter how many tries you do, you cannot move to another until you get it correct. I had to restart the game to get a new prompt.
I had a lot of repeat orders which was a shame, but the concept is fun and I enjoyed figuring out the riddles! Well done!
At first I was very confused and almost quit playing, but after I figured out the first demon the rest of them made sense. It's pretty fun! I would have liked to have the demons not repeat, or maybe have a win condition when you summon every type so you don't repeat any. Thank you for making this!
This was pretty cool! Was fun figuring out the summoning combinations. I loved the art of the demons!

I'm impressed that the demons' descriptions both told you how to summon them, and what purpose they served. That's really clever! It was fun figuring them all out. Also... I really don't want to imagine the Peking Demon that man is going to cook... (it was a very funny moment, though)

You are really great! The game turned out great!
This was such a funny little game! I loved the writing and the sounds the demons made had me cracking up. Great entry!

I love the adventure game vibe this has going on. It would be helpful I think if the items had descriptive tooltips when you hovered them. I wasn't quite sure what some of them were / what their purpose was (what's in the flasks etc.), so I didn't know if they'd be appropriate ingredients for the ritual.

Hey. Cool Game. Nice freaky drawing and funny texts. Good Job!
Nice Game! Good job! The artstyle of the ingredients is clear and neat, the artstyle of the demons is funky and comedic, together it works well. The puzzles were particularly good. It really created some A-ha moments. Good game!

Decipher the client's needs and to decipher the devil's conditions. What they say is funny. The interaction with the store items is also smooth. Nice work!

Fun little puzzle game! Could be a great mobile game with some more work.
Really solid art, and the puzzle aspect was pretty fun :) it would have been nice to click on items to see what they were, a couple of the sprites were vague enough that I wasn't sure where to use them, but overall pretty well polished!

Neat game! A bit too guessy, but nice nonetheless.
The music really set a chill tone and it was nice to decipher and guess the riddles, though it feels like there's a bit of a learning curve even with referencing the rules page. Still, a relaxing game to play and experiment!
