Danggg those are tough mushrooms! Great job on the game especially considering it was your first jam! I had fun!
The graphics are really cute! I think the game is a bit too hard in the early game (before you get any summons) It would be nice to start off with at least one summon? I didn't expect the final summon to be summoning a boss, I thought I would get a really cool creature summon, not an enemy haha. Good job for your first jam guys!
Tower defense with vampire survivors? sign me up! Really fun gameplay loop. I was running to an issue where I'd have to click the summon multiple times before it would successfully select the summon, but it would eventually work. Overall really fun game great job!
too hard
Fun! I enjoyed it. I think it's pretty hard at first, to get to the point where you even have summons but maybe that's just me, haha!
I love the little guys you summon, very cute.
Also, it took me a while to figure out how to buy things. Like, from the buying screen. I kept clicking on the icons but it seems like maybe you need to click the prices?
I really like the art, all the different stages of mushrooms and the lil guys you summon, great job. The initial difficulty is definitely really high, agree with @crylica that starting with a summon might be nice. Overall nicely done, and congrats on your first jam!
Good art, fun game. The early game felt significantly more difficult than the rest, which is kinda opposite to the difficulty curve you want in games normally. The boss mushroom scared the hell out of me.
Hey! Thanks for playing and commenting on my game earlier.
I really liked your game. I think you got the movement speed of the player and the mushrooms just right. It felt like if I played well i could kite them into a group and aoe them down. The music is also really catchy.
The start of the game was so difficult but once I managed to get 2 bears down it was pretty good, I love the art style and the mushrooms look funny, the summons are super cute too and I like that they all do different things! Love the weird pig cat at the end too, great job ^^
Solid entry, like the art a lot. Found it a very difficult start though, only a few my (sadly many) attempts managed to get any summons etc.. as I would end up dying in most. My skill issue's aside, this was a nice entry and well done for a first jam!
The game definitely has an addicting factor trying to get your summons built up! I will say that getting the first summon is really, really difficult. Seemed like a summon that healed the wizard would have been a good early choice design wise. Simple sounds for fireballs hitting enemies would really add to the experience. The shroomguys walking backwards was hilariously disturbing. Nice game for a first entry! Welcome to LD!
Cool survival game, very cute art but definitely needs some balancing. Well done!
sw.PNG Love the Ground stomping bears! This game was a good challenge and was balanced enough to keep me constantly on the move up until i set up 3 bears and 3 foxes. The option to sac a summon to replace for another summon or upgrade the circle to have more slots for more summons could really incentivize trying out different formations- Good submission
Very enjoyable, when the mushrooms got "meaty" i laughed out loud. Didnt quite get to the end, almost but then couldnt get past the initial hump again. I managed to get stuck on the bottom once or twice somehow, and sometimes managed to get both text prompts to appear at the same time overlapping each other, but really well polished, specially for a first jam. Well done.
