Summoned all of them! That's good puzzle game and I like that you add a goal (like fill the moon). Nice arts, the animals are very fun!

I love this game! Need a time to understand how to summon and count all resources. I like this graphics and stories.
Really cool game, loved that I would have to keep getting the book out look through it and then close it to get to my resources. A really solid entry, well done! :smile:
Great work. I really like the graphics. And the game is fun to play :)
I played the fixed.zip version and I hit an "ArgumentOutOfBoundsException" error at the final(?) challenge.
I like how the game lets you continue even if you fail a request, but I'm frustrated at how vague some of them are. I don't know which monster would be good at scaring off predators; none of them seem like a good pick for that.
Overall, having played my share of "demon summoning" games this LD which are unreasonably coy about their mechanics ("it's *demon summoning,* it's *supposed* to be obtuse and hard to figure out!"), I'm really happy that this one turned out to be a straight-up math/logic puzzle. Bugs and issues aside, this is a really solid entry.
Worth noting that submit_hour_version.zip is unplayable because a slot doesn't work. The game turned out very fun once I got a hang of it, and the ever changing base materials were a great touch.
Watching others play your game can be extremely insightful, so I recorded my playthrough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQnlbtgZpmQ
ArgumentOutOfBoundsException : index - I guess I reached the end. I had no idea which creature to summon for some of the requests. I like how the moon phase changes the starting state to make the puzzles different. The logic puzzles were fun and the descriptions and art in the book were nice. I did find no reason to close the book.
@alaah thanks!!! appreciate it
Pretty interesting entry. I liked the different beasts, but couldn't quite figure out what the non-explicit villagers were asking most of the time.
The summoning system was simple, yet compelling and cryptic enough to sell the theme really well. Great job!
I like the mood and the characters in this game. The recipe mechanic is interesting and the phases of the mood add an interesting touch. Some recipes were incorrectly noted in the book in the pre-fix version. The Minecraft hit sound was a bit annoying. Good job team!
The embedded version of the game is failing, says the following:
"Uh oh! If you're seeing this error, it means I can't find your index.html file.
This usually means you created your .zip file by zipping the entire folder, and index.html is somewhere like MyGame/index.html. If you recreate your .zip with index.html file in the root, this error should go away.
See the embedding guide for more details. ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/
