Nice entry .. good leveling up .. good in-game instructions. Well made !! Sometimes it feels a bit uncontrollable. could be just m.e. Overall nice graphics, good style, good concept and especially I like the gradual increasing of difficulty using the power-ups along the way to keep things balanced. Good job!

Cute game! Easy to pick up, nice graphics and audio, fun and educational (I learned a lot about where demons come from). Tutorial beats my 7 pages of text! Nice work
Very nice graphics, with a very understandable tutorial that let me pick up the game very quickly. I wouldn't mind it saving your progress a bit, so when I fail at a high level, I don't have to restart from the beginning.
I thought to myself "It feels like I'm tickling the soul crystals", then I found out that's what it was called. Nailed it.
Nice game loop and progression. Nicely polished. I couldn't get past the green guys. It gets tough fast!
The upgrades all felt meaningful. The upgrade window provided a much needed rest from the clicking.

Simple but effective. A small visual feedback when you hover on demons would help, in some cases I'm not really sure if I can grab them or not. I agree with the good tension rise and fall rhythm brought by the upgrade window pause.

Very solid entry! Nice vibe to and has progress~ There are some minuscule downtime where I am waiting at the start for the red dudes to grow, I was thinking perhaps I could use my skull-score thing to feed them it to make it pop out faster haha. Nice one!

@svenerik Agreed! You can click the crystals as they're growing to get them to grow a little faster!

Always love a game with a goofy cursor mechanic.
That was a fun game! I was staring at the crystal hoping it would pop right before the timer went off so many times. so satisfying dropping the last one with a few seconds left. It would be fun to have something to do to help speed up the crystal or portal to give you a little more control over things

love the wicked pointing finger, and @brennan mentioned this was a nice gem. great compo!
This is a really well rounded entry. I can't think of any suggestions to make other than maybe increasing the selection boxes on the demons so that it's easier to grab them while looking at something else.
Other than a bug with grabbing that deletes demons this works on mobile too, and is the kind of game I'd be willing to pull up on my phone instead of playing with a mouse
Great job!

Easy to pick up with a great difficulty curve, everything I want in a jam game! Would definitely recommend this to others.
My only suggestion would be a short input lock when the upgrade selection appears. When the levels got frantic my spam clicking would accidentally select a power.
Great entry!

Fun time waster with nice visuals. It did sometimes feel that the game doesn't always react properly when you drag the people up to the top things that turn them into different colours. Can they not be dragged right after you dragged one, or am I just having a skill issue?

@timo654 Not a skill issue! Very likely due to the mouse interact location not being a range, and instead a pixel causing a level of precision required that is not ideal for quick play, unfortunately!

Had fun playing, I'd like to see where this concept might lead if you decide to develop it further :D

Fun little game though I did wish the "picker" was a bit more forgiving when trying to pick up stuff, but that only became apparent after things started to get more hectic. I also thought the balance was done pretty well as I juts had enough time for the most part to get each delivery done ... until I didn't but that was due to some bad management on my part. Enjoyed it
Good game. the progression ramps up nicely. To me a while to understand the leveling(clicking on skulls). Had fun trying to improve my score.
Simple mechanic but very fun game, I really love how easy it is to learn the mechanic without the need for a tutorial, efficient graphics, not too flashy but work well, audio also works without being intrusive, I love that you can get little boosts to help you. Overall a really solid entry that I feel like could really be expanded on with more time. But impressive entry for the short period of time!

I got a bit unlucky in the first run. The times were always pretty tight, then in the second run I got the additional crystal upgrade, which made things significantly easier :smile: Very fun game!
