SO SO CUTE!!! I love the artstyle, and the soundtrack is so sqeaky! I love how i have to summon the creatures and fight them. It's well animated and very fun ;) It's a damn shame you don't have any cover art or image in the description. People are missing out by simply not being able so see anything about your game. I think it you should consider adding that. Great work otherwise! Might just be one of the favorite ones yet!
Very cool! for the visual, a separate like
I love that art style and animations! Great game!
I don't have the finger detexterity RIP. I wish it was more clear when you "Cook" a monster for an order. But the art and animations

It took me a while to understand that you had to summon all the monsters and then smash them with the pan, but had a good time anyways though.
Love the art! I'm not really sure how the cooking works - would be nice to know the progress on the recipes (e.g. what monsters I have already cooked)
Art style is really amazing, even the animations are super nice (I would have loved some feedback when hovering on the start button though). Mix between helldivers stratagems and a cooking game, super nice idea
Mastering the spells to summon the right monsters takes some practice, but is great fun to master! However the deadlines on the orders were very tight, and at times I felt like the right ingredients didn't always complete an order. Great work overall, with a sweet aestetic on top!
Really nice game. I love the artstyle and summoning mechanic
The game is really really cute, very nice graphics ! It's really gorgeous, the music is also very good (kinda reminds me off the main theme of game of thrones) however it doesn't loop so when it ends you just remain in silence :sob:
Congrats for the game :clap:
The game is awesome. Love the art, Love the idea, love the them. 10/10 would summon again!
Amazing art style! Love it! It took me a couple of tries to understand the gameplay (even after reading the instructions), but it ended un being fun when I understood how to play it. Nice work!
Art style is very on point, especially how gleeful the main character is about murdering his little summons for food. The sound track was nice and fit the slightly morbid concept well, but the icing on the cake was the rubber chicken noises the monsters make when hit with the frying pan. There seems to be a visual artifact left over from a button or something in the middle of the screen, unsure what that's for, but thought I should flag it up. I agree with the above commenter that you should add some of the art from your itch.io page to this ldjam page as the artwork on itch is great!
Lovely game!! Awesome and cute artstyle, mood, and fitting music and theme. Great idea too - to summon demons only to immediately cook them!
I get that it's all black and white, but some color could have perhaps helped distinguish the three ingredient demons. Also, having the the summoning reminders so far from recipes made me look back and forth all the time, like a tennis match.
Super solid entry overall!
One of my favorites so far as well! The art is great and the whole concept is funny, the squeak toy violence made me laugh. Something that tripped me up at first, was that I couldn't figure out that multi-part recipes needed the different monsters summoned -at once- before being killed (which I throw out there in case anyone else has the problem). Awesome submission! Those backgrounds look rad!
I took me a while to understand that you're supposed to summon all the monsters first before chopping them up. Cool game!
Really cute and fun game. It took me a good few attempts before I learned that you can summon multiple monsters at the same time for each recipe. Love the art and feel of the game :D
very cool art style and interesting game mechanic!
Beatiful art, i was a bit confused as to how i could fulfil an order at first, but pretty fun when i figured it out
I really adore this graphic. It sits perfectly between (more traditional) drawing and cartoon style and feels quite unique. It was only sometimes a bit hard to read the different, eh, *groceries*. But that wasn't too much of an issue and the music also plays nicely with the graphics.
Gameplay wise it also took me a moment to realize that I have to summon all *groceries* at once, but after figuring it out it was some smooth gameplay. The indication if you do something wrong could maybe be a bit improved because I found myself sometimes confused of why no order got checked. Also maybe after a while the spawn rate for new orders could go up a little, I found myself in a run were the music already stopped playing and one new orders comming in just every few secong :smile: Got a 433 score in this run! Overall a nice fun game!
