Really cool concept. enjoyed it a lot! Good job!
The artstyle is wonderful ♥ Great take on the theme
so cute and I love it
Love the pixel art and also the concept, combining items your the pets. Its really fun.
Incredibly wonderful art! The animations are lovely and the creatures too. It is a tiny bit of a shot in the dark what you're fighting or what their stats may be (unless I missed something) so that defeats a part of the strategy of autobattlers. Other than that really charming entry and thank you for making it!
Love the art and crafting concept. Enjoyed playing it a lot. The part randomiser makes the game tiresome with the progression though... battles become pretty much unwinnable without certain parts and you start just kind of waiting for a good roll.
Wow killed it with the art! Absolutely atmospheric vibes! I loved the randomly generated pet names, so fun, my favorite was "Noodle".
It wasn't clear to me at first how to incorporate the items into the resurrection, but after that I was able to battle pretty effective after some experimentation. I'm kind of a big fan of auto-battlers.
You should definitely release this game!
My heart is so sad for all the lovely pets yet so happy that I could see them again and get revenge for them! The game is super in depth and I love the way you handled how one can tailor their own team, super creative stuff! It did feel kind of bad only getting cats with one health out and the enemy having one thorns and thus destroying you but overall the balance was great! The art is absolutely phenomenal and there is so much detail to be found there cudos!
J'ai vraiment aimé le jeu, c'est cool. J'aimais les chats et les chiens, c'est dommage qu'ils soient morts ! l'un des canailles est une canaille très douce et de très grande qualité. J'ai passé plus de quarante minutes dans ce jeu, le gameplay est excellent, c'est intéressant de percer les secrets de l'association du savon et du cactus. Si je participais au game jam, je donnerais les meilleures notes. Un grand bravo à Capreola et Ivan, vous avez un jeu génial, merveilleux, merveilleux, s'il vous plaît, faites-le, j'achèterai même vos jeux
Combining items with pets was a great concept but it gets repetitive and tedious after some time. The visuals are great and the game is very good!
Lovely game! The combinations are quite fun to experiment with.
OMG? I loved the game idea! I wish there would be more animals and items to fuse together, and maybe some kind of path (like in slay the spire) to follow and reach the end game, but so far it's pretty fun and interesting :D
Gameplay is really addicting. It's an amazing game for sure.
Very nice visuals and convenient controls, easy and cool to play. The game is awesome!
Pixel art is beautiful auto-battler is a classic but you nailed it, i played a lot hahaha, took me time to find wich item does what and how to manage correctly my 3 pets !
Cute concept (as far as dead pets can be called cute)! Love this use of the theme, lovely little entry :)
Nice art, good concept, so it's a good game.
Cute art and cute pets, once I figured out what to do with the items it clicked and was a lot of fun. Good job!!
really cute spritework!!
Oh my gosh I looooove the artwork so much <3 Each sprite is really cute and I love the different variants that were created depending on the combinations made. I was on it for a long time because I wanted to get good at the game lol. Overall, really polished game that looks great and plays well. It was fun, great job :^)
Fun Cute Creepy Game! I love the lil bones sticking out. such a neat idea! I have fun and enjoyed the comfy music.
Good game
Cool concept and mood!
I think it would be nice to keep the surviving builds after battles.
Making builds could be simplified, even though thematically it works well to have to pick up and bury, it becomes a bit of a chore.
I'd like to have some choice in the battles but I understand the automatic mechanic comes with the genre.
I enjoyed the animations and polished pixel art throughout!
Loved the concept! I'm left wanting more haha
I'd really like the items to be introduced to me one at a time with a little bit of info on what each one can do, so I might understand my strategic choices quickly. Once I figured them out, this turned into a nice bit of fun!
I love how you're putting some humor and silliness into something so sad!
Really fun, one of those I've played the most! I managed to reach level 5 of each cross. The graphics are really cute, and the gameplay is very interesting and tactical. An incredible job, congratulations!
The art is so good, the gameplay is pretty simple but well executed, solid entry :)
I really enjoyed the art style and animation.
Menu music is soothing and somber at times, so it's definitely fitting. Though I wish it changed during battle and post battle to give more immersion to what is happening on screen. It would be cool to see a UI with explanations of each buff buried with the necropets, or even adding it to the description to help new players.
It's definitely a very interesting entry with fun to be had. :) Well Done.
Nice entry! Really enjoy how to combined these items with the corpse. I will rate 5 stars if I could rate to the Music
Loved the art and sound, mood and idea! Very fun, despite the slightly annoying randomness :laughing:
Awesome game! so fun to play. They art is wonderful, mood is great and I love all the combinations of items, pets, and enemies. The game design is very well done and allows for endless possibilities if you want to expand on the game later. only nitpick is it would be nice to have more information on what exactly each item does, as trying to figure it out is a little bothersome and I don't feel adds that much to the experience.
This was great! I like how the early game has you figuring out what the items do and how they're best used, then the mid game has you trying to optimize your team for one of the available fights.
The minimalistic tutorial told me just enough to get me going, and I was able to figure out the rest. Pretty polished too!
Безымянный.png I faced the endless battle in the game. In onterwise game is cool. Pretty graphics. Interesting theme implementation. Solid gameplay. Good job!
Presentation is top notch, and the gameplay was actually pretty fun
I really liked the art and animations in this! Just overall a great vibe. It was great how the different items actually impacted the graphics as well.
I just kinda randomly added items to the animals and didn't really get when I was playing good or bad - some easier way to distinguish strategies would be nice. Also this is just a personal thing but with such great pixel graphics I'd love if the font was sized also low-res with the same resolution instead of higher res.
Well done! Good debut on jam Capreola, I like this art. However, it upset me that we lose saved units every time. "Pet Sematary" is a good idea for a Summoning theme.
Good job on tutorial, very smooth and easy to understand. I really the general athmosphere and the interpretation of the theme ^^ Fun too play, well balanced. Congrat guys !
Loved the concept. Would really enjoy more combinations, maybe the ability to fuse multiple dogs and cats for stronger "pets".
The graphics are really cute! And the all the pet names are a nice touch. :smile: Cool transition effect. Sometimes I had to laugh about how the items changed the pets, although at first it was not clear to me how to use the items. Very original!
It's a morbid premise, but the art makes it not just non disturbing, but also charming at times! The atmosphere is unsettling, but its far from gruesome. As for the game, I'm not sure if I figured out how it works. I bury my pets, I bring them to the fight, I get my butt kicked, I get more pets, but also some items I don't know how to use. Since you cant bury them, I tried placing them next to the graves, right on top of the graves, both before and after burying pets, I held them before the battle stars, but no matter what I did I couldn't see the difference the items would make. Regardless of that, it's a neat premise and I think it was worth playing for the atmosphere alone!
Edit: Played it again, I didn't realize you could pick up multiple things at once. I managed to score a couple of wins, which felt great! It was very fun to experiment with different item combos and it was further encouraged by seeing the item effects actually being visually applied on your pet corpses, that was a really nice touch I really enjoyed. I'm glad I gave this another whirl, I definitely appreciate it more!
@sodoj Thank you so much for taking your time and playing our game despite the confusing mechanics! We wanted to add the speech bubbles explaining things that were more unclear but ran out of time, unfortunately. You can pick up more then one thing at a time, and you are supposed to pick up a pet and items you want to use, and bury them all together, like this: Screenshot 2024-04-25 221403.png You can also pick up several items of the same type, but you can only bury one pet in one grave. Each item gives the pets different powers and also changes their appearance. If you're willing to give the game another chance and try them out we will be very grateful, but it's totally fine if not. We appreciate you liking the atmosphere and art!
A simple and enjoyable auto battler with random elements. I liked that I had to study which item gives which buff by myself like good old games. Among the shortcomings, sometimes objects are not visible due to tombstones. I also had a bug that level 7 was completed automatically (there were already dead opponents). Also I wanna know is it possible to beat the game, or it is endless? Nice work!
