No more summoning!

Cool game, I like the pixel art ghost animations, and the screen shake when you jump on the summoning circle feels good.

However, there was no obvious win or lose condition so after a short while I found that I didn't have much of a reason to continue playing.

Suggestion: - I think it would be interesting if this was a 'simon says' type game where you have to remember the summoning order initially and then perform the summoning ritual in that order. - If you are successful, the player could be rewarded by progressing to the next level - If you fail the ritual, perhaps some monsters spawn that you have to fight before you can try the summoning ritual again

Overall: - Nice, well-built game with good visual and 'game juice' effects ^-^

I like this concept a lot but it could use some mouse approximation snapping (when you click near a circle it just snaps to it.) The sound effect for successes is also a little loud.

Well done, though, this concept is very interesting and I can see it being addicting!

Very interesting concept! I found it a bit frustrating that I kept missing the summons because I was, I guess, slightly off, even though visually my character was right on top of the circle. The pixel art is really cute!

I found myself playing for a long time! really cute art and the idea makes sense for the theme. It would been super cool to have new mechanics as long as you make progress. Nice work!

I really like the animation of the ghost. The sound effects get a little annoying after a while and there also is a lack of progression / failure. But for a few minutes I had a lot of fun!

Simple yet nice game with cute style. Didn't get whether or not the game is infinite. Wasn't enough some kind of kind of progression, maybe (levels at least). Good job though!

Nice idea and good sound effects in there. Feels a little bit like playing osu! xD One thing that would make this soooo much smoother though is input buffering. If you allowed for choosing dash destination during jump animation and perform dash after landing, it would feel great.

nice artstyle and concept, but it takes couple of tries to figure out what to do and when to jump. but after that, it feels addictive:)

realy liked the game it's fun and realy satisfaying when you get it. it's a bit punishing if you miss one or missclick it's almost impossible to finish the level . great work especially for a solo project !

I liked the graphics, game is polished, loop is simple but quite repetitive, still had fun :)

That jumping animation is superb, absolutely fascinating. Idea is interesting too. Like!

I like the concept and had fun playing your game :) I find the visuals nice and coherent, it works really well. I would have loved a more complete gameplay experience but its already a very cool slice of a game. Congrats on your entry!
