Absolutely love this game. The animations and details you've added gives it an awesome hyper, demonic feel. The sound and the responsiveness of the controls work too. There were a few times I seemed to die due to a bug (e.g. immediately on clicking next level), but other than that it worked well :)

3rd level is not playable, but nice work!

cool visual style and soundtrack, but unfortunately the game has some technical problems with resetting the timer, after restarting the level, it spoils the impression and kills the dynamics

This is a good unique take on summoning, The sound design is really well made.

I honestly thought it was great fun. xD also very enthusiastic voice acting, i loved it.

Thank you @merrow @heretic @wombatty @crushedsummers @benjamin-jaeger for your nice words and for reporting the bugs! We've fixed a game-breaking bug that was due to slowdowns of the framerate.

A fast-paced, fun game! The gameplay is well combined with the sound design.XD There's a real sense of urgency when I'm playing!

Very fun! Nice quick gameplay. Visuals and sound design are spot on. And it has that "one more try" thing going on. Great work!

Nice fast paced game! I would have loved a level selection screen to see how far I made it. The controls seems off, I cant tell precisely what, but I found the character difficult to move how I wanted it to. Well done, fun game!

Dude this game is just insane totally my kind of game !! Could play more level ( I'm sad, I found out that you can play with gamepad only during last level but even with keyboard it was a masterclass )

Dunno if you made the music but it was really juicy to hear while playing

Really nice game

DEMON SEALED !

Insanely fun game :D

An original and interesting game mechanic. Bravo! Special mention for the soundtrack to Laaren (@francoisd?) and @makse. I don't know if the two of you do the music together or if it's just one of you, but if you have links to listen to your music on soundcloud or whatever, I'd love to hear them!

@mealky @k-toll Thank you very much ! I am Laaren, I made these 3 tracks : https://soundcloud.com/laarenprods/sets/demon-sealer-ost-game-made-for-the-ludum-dare-55 The "DEMON SEALED" is my voice I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thank you for your comments and your ratings !

What a great game! The skull level took me quite some time to complete, it was much more challenging than the previous levels.

k-toll 2024-04-18 11:03

@francoisd

Oh thank you!

jean-francois 2024-04-18 17:36

Nice game I like the sound and the gameplay not so close to the theme for me but nice entry :) well done!

deruitda 2024-04-19 00:01

Really well done, the audio was crisp and added to the satisfaction of the game! We made a very similar game for LD54 last year.

Wow, that was polished! I realy love the music, level design and animations. Great job! Invested from start to end (1607 02:43.35 / 46). One little tiny thing worth noting though - I think you should say somewhere that it's better to use a controler than a keyboard ^^ Keyboard controls are not that precise here, I was overshooting by pixels when trying to stand on a specific tile and it clicked a bit too late that I could switch it up. I get it that movement couldn't really be smoothened for one device considering the mechanics design, but a note to use a controller would help. Thanks for fun few minutes!

weine 2024-04-19 14:06

Really nice and well polished! The way you did the progression of increasing difficulty and new mechanics was great, and the music really matched the frantic gameplay.

mealky 2024-04-21 01:35

@francoisd I will definitely check your soundcloud thanks ! You made an insane job on the game music !!

maxgun 2024-04-25 10:16

Demon sealed!

Now that voiceline keeps looping in my head ^^ Nice work, fun game, the art works well and the music and sound design too! I enjoyed my time playing it :). I found the controls a bit tricky at time and switched back and forth between keyboard and controller depending on the level. Congrats for your cool entry!
