Really nice game! Playing it at night, I got quite freaked out at first when the demon started appearing and I was panicking while trying to banish it. The audio and visuals are both very neat, along with the whole concept!

The audio is really great and scary. :thumbsup:

Spooky, great atmosphere, you really nailed the audio. Wonderful submission.

Graphics and UI looks very nice. Atmosphere was good. The game required me to memorize a bit to much up front, so I didn't manage to get very far, would be nice if some easy items would show up early. I guess I'm not as smart as a baby.

Cute game! I must admit I did not have the patience to learn how to banish every demon, so maybe it was a bit too many rules. Fun concept though! Scary demon when you lose.

A very good memory game :D

This atmosphere is great, and the general format is fun. The premise is hilarious!

But I can't figure out how to "banish" .. Like, I've picked a recipe, so then I shake the spices in order and then I play the notes indicated in the recipe... and then I shake the rattle... nothing happens... I try the same and try shaking the rattle overtop of the playmat... that didn't work... so I never succeed.. I think I'm not interpreting the instructions properly...

My question: Do I pick just ANY recipe? Or am i being told which recipe to use (which means I don't know where that info is being communicated to me)

Excellent game! The audio and visuals were outstanding, and the gameplay was a really clever spin on the theme! Memorizing all the symbols was a lot to take in all at once, though, so I only managed to clear one demon in total.

And yes the music speeding up and demon cut scene was terrifying

Nice game, but a little too hard for me tbh xD

Pretty cool game! I really loved the core concept. I had a jumpscare at the end of the game xD I just found that the time was too short to be able to banish more than one demon (but maybe I'm just really bad x) ). Really cool!

Very good game! Just not enough time (time to understand, to find one's way in the book, etc. It's too fast to assimilate everything). But the gameplay is fun, the music is really good, the theme is respected, a very good game! 😊

The combination of audio, visuals, and unique concept has created an unforgettable experience. Fantastic job on bringing this concept to life!

I like this game! You guys are great!

This is super delightful and challenging. The aesthetics are so clean and cute and the premise is charming. Definitely too hard. I never got past 4 even once I had all the spices and keys and some of the recipes memorized. The most difficult thing for me was identifying the objects. With the hooves and spiders there's some time where the smoke is swirling so you don't know what they are, the spider's legs are very hard to count on some of them depending on the angle. It also took me forever to figure out that the types of animal referred to the pattern on the hoof and not the kind of leg that would pop up and I frequently had issue with tiger vs zebra. Overall super cool, I wish it was a bit easier so I could play longer and feel like I can reach higher scores. Great work!

I love the theme and idea of this game but I found it too difficult to play - going back and forth between pages in the book got a bit tedious. I really like the physical interaction of the toys in the scene though, great job!

The audio and graphics are great, they add a lot of atmosphere and humor to the theme and the game itself. I especially liked the instruction booklet, lots of great illustration. The game itself is a little difficult to follow, I found myself just kind of clicking on random objects and then backing out after a while.
