This is a great idea... I love the concept of managing prayers its so cute. great work :)

Love the angelic color palette and music to vibe to. Big bad boss angel looked a bit like from Hazbin Hotel design-wise! Big plus for very interesting card design and crisp writing, the game is written in a great way and has a great overall quality/polish for a game jam time!

I didn't understand one thing: a card once said that I should be careful while speaking to an angel, but I haven't found a way to speak to them (maybe it was just flavor text!). Plus, initially I clicked on the "summon" button without assigning the card, because it was on top and I wanted to see what happens :)

Oh this is so cool! It was kinda hard for me to get how to manage every angel, but it was fun nonetheless. Though, what happens when you ignore a prayer? Does the game just deducts some points for it?

Very well put together. All in all a great use of theme and gameplay loop. Figuring out which prayer is best for which angel is a bit confusing, though that I may have missed something.

This game has pretty nice graphics and sounds! But I liked the smooth animation in some places. The game is interesting! And I would say that this is something new. With the theme of this Ludum, everyone decided to take a more demonic theme, and you decided to take paradise. And that makes this game unusual

Great "papers please" style game

Really fun management game! I had a great time going over the various cards, the little stories and how they affect the overall game while always keeping you on your toes. Kudos for the awesomely cute art and the soothing music!

ferelily 2024-04-16 03:17

Fantastic on all fronts! My only constructive comment would be that it often felt like there was very little to actually indicate which angel would be best for each prayer. I would love to see this game fleshed out with a full story arc!

This is an amazing game, it has been very intuitive and the drawings are super cute.

I enjoyed this game! Art and music are top tier. The idea and gameplay are very interesting. Really love games that put creativity into story and text, and not just combat and action.

I thought the game was super cute! I can tell all the detail that and effort that was put into everything. I think it was really creative and I liked the mechanics. I was a bit confused for the first playthrough because I just clicked "summon" without assigning a prayer because I didn't know how to do the assigning, but after that it was a lot of fun!!

The game is super cute and interesting!

benjaminw 2024-04-16 04:35

Very creative, great concept. The music is just amazing. Good vibes overall :)

Surprisingly relatable higher beings and hints of humor was keeping me cozily engaged and reading carefully. I appreciate not having timer in the game.

Absolutely spectacular graphics, it took me a minute to fully understand the systems but that's less of a tutorial issue and more a I have a thick skull issue. I really like the bureaucracy management kind of gameplay loop. All around fantastic you guys should be really proud of this entry!

ninjacatz 2024-04-16 08:33

Even in heaven you have to work, it makes me sad :sob: Visuals are insane <3, nice work!

ulziton 2024-04-16 08:38

emazuro 2024-04-16 08:54

raimondosenpai 2024-04-16 12:51

Well polished and executed idea. the game is great, the arts and musics are also well made. truly marvelous game

konstantinreed 2024-04-16 15:02

Wow, got the zero percent ending. So much narrative work in limited time. Impressive! @gyoGUTS

gdmage 2024-04-16 15:25

Looks good! But there is a lot of text.

soul-grinder 2024-04-16 18:30

Interesting and unique idea for the Summoning theme, The info cards looked good and I really liked the detail in the storyline and lore of the characters. I thought the art style and the audio fit well and didn't encounter any bugs. Nice work, a fun game!

kirass 2024-04-16 22:33

Cool game, I liked it!

joriska 2024-04-17 00:42

thatfirey 2024-04-17 10:05

Really cute and cool art style ^^

soojung-choi 2024-04-18 18:33

I loved this game so much! All of the angel designs were so cute and I enjoyed the prayer management! I love how you went for a mix between Biblically-accurate angel designs (in your boss and the card art) and the more humanoid depictions (for the main game sprites). Also, all of the angels having different audio cues was another nice detail for distinguishing them along with their character card stats and visual designs. Great work! :D

juicybrucey 2024-04-18 21:14

Lovely art and I'm impressed that the music was made just for the jam. For any constructive criticism I would say it would be nice to be able to hover over the assigned prayers to see the info again without having to drag it off of them. Nitpicking here, when a card is assigned to an angel and an angel's big info card is shown, the little card is drawn in front of the info card, and i saw a very minor typo in one of the prayers. Very nice entry so well done to the whole team

mvasko2 2024-04-21 21:01

Very well done. I liked basically everything - the visuals, the audio, the music, the concept and the writing.

One nitpick that I have is that it was a little hard for me to understand which aspects of an angel affected the outcome of the summoning the most. I ended up assigning based on the description of the angel and its stress level, which seemed to work OK, but not all the time - so I guess I haven't quite cracked it yet.

Very nice entry overall.
