Excellent artwork!

Great work, I really like the way you interpret the theme of summon, and the art work is also cool.

@sicosiber @alxje @kilthorne Thank you!

The splash screens are gorgeous. I really liked the voice acted intro as well :smile: I thought the interpretation of the theme was really creative and the sprites were really good. I ended up collecting so many movement buffs that I killed myself because I was completely uncontrollable :rofl:

From the screenshot it looks cool! I wish a web/mac build would have been possible, but i get that in these jams its hard to get a build out in general, let alone buils for multipled platforms!

I love the idea and setting, sprites are also very cute :D 10/10 would skip to summon again haha

Very interesting idea here - a swarming game where the monsters aren't the dangerous thing, but instead the stage hazards. Certainly a fun start, and if you guys decided to take this further I think you'd certainly be able to do a bunch with it.

I really REALLY didn't want to be summoned though.

After summoning so many monster in other games, I can finally sympathise wit how they actually feel. It's a simple game and premise but it's fun and it works really well!

Too bad I can't run it, it look cool

Amazing art style, well done!

215000 points ! I ran into a portal by myself because I was going to fast, very fun concept !

Lmao, I think there is a bug regarding picking up the power ups, I seem to be able to get multiple of them and run around at the speed of sound

regardless, flawless idea! I love the idea of cthulu not wanting to be summoned, it's hilarious

Fun game, nice take on the theme! Got only 51k points (or 57k, cant remember) as I accidentaly rushed right into a portal hahaha. At the start the game was frozing a bit, but after a minute or so it worked smoothly. The lightning you created set the mood very well. Congrats!

Really well made and fun game! A nice twist on the theme as well. The art is great and so is the gameplay.

I did have a couple of issues though. There was a couple times where it seemed like I was being pulled even tho visually there was nothing attached to me. There was also one case in particular where I stood exactly where a portal spawned and lost instantly lmao.

But otherwise I had a lot of fun with this one, great job!
