Great juice. Smooshing my dudes together to make the stats go up and see them headbutt the other dudes was very fun. There didn't seem to be a ton of strategy involved beyond maximising stat increases and beneficial traits, and that seemed mostly based on the RNG of what you summoned, but I didn't really mind.
Was a bit annoying if a new summon overlapped another, I accidentally buffed up the wrong skele once.
I got smashed up bad by lightning head. Great game! I enjoyed combining my summons. I wish the game had telegraphed more how the skills / stats compose. I'm glad it showed me the combined result on hover but I feel I would have been more in control if I knew how to predict the impact of the combinations (like colors and shapes were important somehow).
Very satisfying and juicy effects! Skulls are always cool, and even more cooler when you can smash them together to create even more powerfull skulls! Autobattler was a nice genre choice. Well done!
Picked this game to play because I loved the name and could immediately tell the kinds of things you do in the game. The visuals were great, it felt juicy and was fun to play. I really liked the 3 gene slots and being strategic about which ones you combine to not accidentally override OP genes, so anything you can do to increase that decision making is great.
Nice job!
The aesthetic is really sweet and it's a fun little auto-battler. I do wish I understood the importance of the different effects a little better, but it was fun regardless.
Loved this game! The difficulty felt spot on, and the ability to sell and override slots gave a bit of depth. Went back to play it a few times. Best guy:

Really fun auto-battler! I really liked the concept and having so much customization in your team comp. I played several runs and the furthest I could get was level 8. In all of my attempts, it felt like I hit a brick wall at a certain point, which made it feel like I just had to get lucky RNG in order to progress.
Had a ton of fun in my playthrough, love the aesthetic and sound design. I really like the color choices and high contrast design. Everything felt really satisfying and polished. Excellent work!
Fun strategic auto-battler. I liked merge progression and slots for abilities. That's good ideas photo_2024-04-16_10-21-13.jpg
Very polished game! I enjoyed combining different summons and the UI was very clear. Unfortunately I lost at the last level
i lost at the last level too, it was cool to combine the different skulls and a special mention for the graphics! good job.
Nice entry! The visuals were nice and consistent, very pleasant. The gameplay was fun and engaging, just the right amount of scope for a game jam. The tutorial page was a little confusing, but I figured it out pretty quickly.
It was a fun and good. I really like the main idea of the game!
Incredible, this ticked all the boxes for me. Not too difficult to understand and I could then ticker with all the stats of my summons to make the ultimate weapon. I destroyed level 10 in like 5 hits :imp:. Putting this into my hall of fame folder to come back to. So good!
Pretty solid little experience.
The power curve was interesting. It felt like I steamrolled a bunch of them and then suddenly got rocked because of my hubris trying to see how far my dream team could go.
Liked realizing that if I ended up giving one a bad power I could summon something new and drop the one that inherited a bad power onto the new summon to get the power level back and just lose the mutation powers.
I like the concept and the game is polished and complete. I've had a nice time playing it. Good job!
