Absolutely amazing music and PS1-like graphics! Polished easy controls, too. Gameplay does get stale after a while. Great job, hope you had fun making it!

Really well made, the visuals look very good and the gameplay feels pretty smooth. Could do with a bit more balancing but I had fun. Good job!
Sick graphics, sick audio and sick play. Really cool, well done!
Awesome game! The retro graphics throws me back to the good old PS1 era. For me that's the real start of my gamer life. The models are absolutely amazing and reminds me of old school Diablo. The sound and music in this game is top notch. the game plays fluidly and is fun to play. Really awesome gamejam entry, good job on the result!
Love the silly little wizard guy! The gameplay is quite smooth but gets a bit repetitive over time, enemy variety would be a great next step. Pressing the Space key damages the player :P
It's simple but it's fun. I love the graphics and that retro style.
I absolutely love the style! Fun gameplay too, felt very satisfying. Good job guys!
Visuals and Sounds are great! Gameplay is fun but a bit unrewarding
Fun game. Love this graphics and sound effects. And I love summoner voice and spells SO MUUCH. But gameplay feels a little empty. I would like to see some enemies and player progression
The low res 3D looks really cool, I like the diablo 2 vibe a lot ! And the voice acting is really funny ;) It's a perfect example of what juice can add to a game : the gameplay itself is very simple, but the feedback given when hitting and killing enemies make it pretty addictive ! If the combat system had a little more depth, it would become an awesome game !
Simple gameplay and scope, but what is there is very satisfying! Well done! :D
I even managed to get the (current) high score, that's really cool!
Totally agree with the other commenters. I love the art style, the gore, and the audio. Game play/idea is probably not the most innovative, nonetheless, it was still fun, so really great work.
Love the vibe and the pacing! It it had some more progression elements id probably stayed on this game for even longer. Also loved the voice acting lol. Super great job!
LOVE the retro graphics. Agree with other reviewers that the gameplay lacks depth, but, you know, game jam. I think peoples' expectations are higher because the interactions feel SO polished. Really impressive sound design and the combat just feels really nice. Also the summoner was such a silly lil guy.
It took me a min to realize I actually had to go through the portal, I was expecting things to come through it the other way. I also wanted my lil demon to move just a tiny bit faster. But overall this was really great, good work!
Great visuals, fun voiceovers. The idea of summoning creatures to protect the summoner is a good one. Perhaps more gameplay expansions could be explored.
Very stylish art, I like how basic gameplay. The character control, movement and animation are smooth. Wish more content in it.
An interesting game, sticky
I love music, nice game.
Very cool fight feeling and atmosphere, satisfying!
Cool game! Perfect second to second gameloop! Running around and cutting feels great! More swedes I suppose from the names? Glad to see it!
The animations, models and over all audio are really great! The whole game feels polished. I love the hemisphere around the summoner and the gibbs flying when killing enemies! If it was possible to expand the scope slightly I think that some kind of stats system (speed, dmg etc.) would be great. Or maybe some tower defence fluff? I feel the minute to minute gameplay is some what lacking (a lot to ask for a jam game though).
I think the summoning voice volume could be slightly lower (but I mean I could change that in the settings menu so maybe I cannot really complain about that). Just running around and slicing feels perfect. The video setting drop down look strange (but so do ours). If you tab out from the game the audio starts to repeat(I played the html5 version). Other than that I mainly feel like it would be nice if it was a bit clerarer if you're in the correct position so that the attack will land - maybe a highlight effect of the enemy if your in reach and turned toward them.
That said, great game! It has sound when hitting, gibbs flying, feedback when stuff is destroyed etc. Well done!
The graphics, UI and audio were all really well made! However I felt the gameplay became repetitive quickly, but what was there was well made.
i dont think it rendered correctly on mine lol there are pink and yellow squares all over and i cant see anything, but cool sound effects tho and i like the fighting animations
The level of polish on this is impressive. The 3d models and animations look great. Attacks feel weighty and blood effects as well as screen shake when enemies die is a nice touch. Voice acting, cool music, great sfx and even a robust menu system as well as a leaderboard, its obvious you guys put a lot of work into this. The actual gameplay might be the weakest part with how repetitive it is. Its still fun but compared to everything else it doesn't feel as full. Very nicely done.
I liked this a lot, it was fun trying to see how long I could survive for and how many kills I could get. It got a little repetitive after a while, so maybe some new stages/levels or different enemies could spice it up. The art is really awesome too, excellent job!
Absolutely amazing. Loved the voice acting and art style. The gameplay loop was a bit repetitive, and I feel like I could probably have just kept going indefinitely, but overall this is a really solid entry.
I loved the pixelated graphics A LOT! The animations are amazing, I love the kngihts death animations they are just prfect! The gameplay is nice, defeinding the wizard that summoned you, pretty nice concept I would have loved tho that the player would move a little bit faster, A great job tho I came 24th on the list, nice game, keep it up!
