Tower defence + Summon :)
This would have slayed on the Nintendo DS... just sayin. Great work :)
Fun! The sigil recognition is pretty inaccurate, but it was still satisfying to draw out loads of pentagrams. I couldn't figure out how to combine sigils like was mentioned in the description, and I didn't find all 6, so some way of hinting missing ones could be good.
I really enjoyed the drawing aspect, almost reminds me of trauma center with the pentagram.
I honestly would love to see this concept as a more featured game.
@oatsbarley Actually, when you draw any shape, it interpolates the stats of the summoned minion following the distance to each 5 archetypes (even if you did not discover it yet). Thus, you can have (in theory), a mix between an archer and a tank :wink:
Good game and interesting mechanics, maybe the only thing that I find fault with is that although I clearly summoned new units, the sigils were not unlocked.
Loved the blood FX on the seals ! Loved the concept of the game and the art. The summoning is a bit slow. I often thought I didn't draw the pentagram correctly but then the summon appeared after a while. Great job !
Very fun game, the symbol recognition can be frustrating at some time.
I really like the core mechanical idea of this game, drawing glyphs and getting unique summons out of them, but on my first run through I beat the game using only the Fighter and the Tank without even getting a hint of any other summon existing, despite trying all kinds of shapes in the circle. I found Kamikaze and Assault later, but was never able to actually summon an Assault with the circle. More guidelines for how to draw glyphs / a more responsive circle would be a huge improvement!
Interesting gameplay with a cool style. The drawing system doesn't work perfectly, but I think it's a super cool result to write this in a couple of days. I couldn't get all 5 archetypes for a long time
I love the whole rune-drawing thing to summon soldiers, the blood looks REALLY good, it's a unique twist. Discovering new runes and summoning different units keeps it interesting. I was missing a couple runes the firsts levels and I was surprised with myself that I couldn't think of other shapes to try! In the end I think I got'em all but not after quite some tries.
It wasn't always clear to me which units were best against others. But hey, maybe that adds to the fun of figuring it out, right? Overall, solid job on the game! It's got potential.
Y'all went all out with the art style and sick animations! loved the SFXs as well, well done!
Very interesting game and I liked drawing a symbols
I like this game! You guys are great!
I found 5 symbols is there more. There is the "W" looking one on here that you show off under the description. Is that a symbol i couldn't get it. This would be a great mobile game. Definitely time waster. I spent more time playing this then half of the games i have tried. It wasn't even the battles, i just kept tryign to guess more symbols. Great game, i had fun. Good job.
@milano23 Thanks for playing ! Yes, there are 5 seals in total. The "W" invocation you see in the gif does not match any specific archetype :wink:
This is really cool! good job! I especially like the bloody effect on the rune and the way it disappears into smoke :)
Bravo l'équipe, le concept est super!
l'algo de détection de forme mériterait un peu de tweaking, ça mène à des erreurs de détection et c'est dommage. Mais bravo sur l'idée et l'exécution
A very good game! I liked to draw!
Nice game, I liked that you had to discover the other summons, though a hint at some point would have been appreciated.
Even if the shape detection is not very good (Jam version), the bloody drawing mechanic is so satisfying, I ended up drawing everything but the correct shapes anyway xD But it was enough to summon some Fighters ^^ A very nice Jam game! Good job!
It's a very beautiful game that features a lot of variety, but it's kinda funny to just draw random stuff and still have something spawning. The audio is great and the graphics are good
I admit I found you through you recognition algorithm post and immediately became curious about the origins of your struggle. In just a few strokes, I already became a master of drawing stars and was impatient to be given a new "recipe" by the game – only to realize that I was slowly unlocking them myself by messing with the board. A pretty fun experience and a genuine sense of discovery all in one package :3
@shess Thank you for your comment, I am glad that you liked the experience :smile:
