Very nice graphics and I like the sound. However, it was hard to figure out how the game works. Still a good job! Love the theming.

Interesting game, the art and animations are really well done! Loved how interactable many things were such as hovering over the demon to play a different animation. Nice work!

Great game, kind of hard to understand what is needed by the order description, but it might just be me being stupid after 72 hours of dev :D

I didnt really know how to get the right servants, but the graphics and audio are really amazing!

I love it, its really fun to make random things I played for a long time xD it is hard to figure out the icons tho, might be nice to have a translation. quick mention of the snacking for info is also gud, but boi its lovely, well done xD

I also found something! Untitled.png

Fun game overall! I like graphics very much. Took me 30 minutes to figure out how to donate souls, and few tasks missed descriptions, I mean no text at all was written there, some bug probably

The graphics are what I liked the most in the game, the game play was still nice, but it was difficult for me to reach some things, the rest of the game is very good, I liked it a lot

Like others here it took me a bit to figure out what I needed to do, but I really loved the visuals and atmosphere. Really cool aesthetic that matches the theme well, well done!

The game is sooo fun to figure out and experiment with. It deserves much more attention than it has now. It's so fun to get the strategy right and later just have fun with combining everything.

There is a bug that somewhat confused me at the start:

Speed and Charm on the slab are mixed up so I didn't know what to trust at first. Decided to trust the flesh's characteristics and was right. If you're afraid of submitting bug fixes - don't be, small bug fixes (without new features) are allowed after the deadline!

Other than that, wow this game is great. The mechanics, the theme, the music and graphics are beautiful and complement each other. I think I'm going to return to it later. I'm looking forward to further development of this game if you want to do so!

Bug fixes deployed! Thank you to all who pointed those out, especially @risminator and @landerack! A tutorial was enabled that was mostly coded, but didn't show up. A few other helpful indicators were added. Your kind words are much appreciated! We had a lot of fun making our submission but felt uncertain about its reception due to the difficulty of learning what to do.

Graphically stunning, especially with the sheer number of parts! The munchin' sounds were really nice, as was the laugh for the game over screen.

I didn't realize I could go to the next month and still have the pacts available to complete. I double checked and it wasn't in the tutorial, so you may want to add a line about that, or put in some text on the pacts themselves that show "DEADline in 3 months" or something like that. I know there is the visual indicator if you do skip, but my issue was not knowing I could skip without failing.

The only other lil QoL thing I would say to add is the quota. You can't actually see it while playing, instead the player must remember what the previous month's quota was plus any modifiers they might have gotten. Simply putting it in the bottom left souls counter would solve this issue so instead of "👻 7" you could have "👻 7/5" if the quota was 5.

These are super minor things that would just be quality of life adjustments. Overall I really think the game is fantastic!

Game have very good graphic and I like an idea of making demons with body parts

The polished art style and an intricate summoning system is admirable. The tutorial level, which is not very common among the jam games, is highly beneficial to explain the mechanics of the game. Luckily, I didn’t encounter the bug you mentioned. Definitely deserves to be developed beyond the jam. Excellent job!

flatgub 2024-04-22 05:07

I absolutely love the presentation here! I did find the summoning system a bit hard to understand but I still enjoyed my time with it! Well done!

falk-hoeppner 2024-04-22 16:27

Really well put together game! I had a blast with it, and I am super appreciative of the tutorial. Well done!

digital-bacon 2024-04-25 03:24

Awesome game. Love the graphics, the limited palette works really well. Interesting gameplay, a bit trial-and-error, but I'd love to see you keep working on this. Excellent work!

nadia-pixel 2024-04-25 18:37

This is a cool concept! Arts and sounds are also great. I finished 4 months and was fired, didn't understand why though

creeper-nade 2024-04-26 12:51

The tutorial did a brilliant demonstration! Glad that I know how to play. The graphics and music are engaging, I like how the EAT system works.

mitur 2024-04-26 22:51

Very moody experience, good job!

kyle-spence 2024-04-26 23:07

The tutorial is a must! Thank you for adding a tutorial or I would have struggled. Great vibe. I am amazed by the pixel art.

Pretty whack, but alright

josang1567 2024-05-03 11:21
