Really liked it! the lil guys just kept coming! Super fun audio and tapping of the little footsteps! This is really fun for a jam game, and if expanded upon with some fun upgrades and graphic things, I think this could be a really fun full game too!
Fun game, the screen is maybe a bit to busy but overall I like you game, well done.
Download page throws a 404 :(
Not able to download

Super fun game and really loved the concept. The graphics were amazing and cute. There were some instances where i was sure i had put the correct guys in the correct portals but it still killed them. I could see this being a full game with main levels and modifiers.
summon here is interpreted as the action of transfering the passengers through the fields in the station. reminds me of mini metro and crazy taxi. the list on the right side showing the time and out/in makes it even more fun. at first i put the guys in the field when the direction is in i lost money for that and have to remove the guys out. nice outcome for a solo work.
Fun game with good sound design. Espicially liked the way you could throw the guys around and save a lil time. Great entry!
very fun expirience! i dont know how, but you created some kind an AI pick up sistem - it somehow knew which passenger you want to pick up and do maximum opposit of it instead, driving you crazy :)
Sound is great! Love that you have to drop that guy to leave the game. Nice Idea and well done in that short time!!! Really solid and fun!
it need optimization ASAP if you want better ratings (i tryed it on low budget pc and high end pc) low budget pc didnt hold it was really laggy. other than that like the game.
Hey! Your game looks awesome! Unfortunately, I didn't understand how to play. I tried to match minions by their icons, but randomly got punished :( Anyway, thank you for your game!
This was way too difficult. I love the idea though, it took me a while to make sense of how it worked but once I got it, I had a lot of fun. I think you need to make the character move a lot faster or slow down time because it felt impossible to keep up with the pace of the clock.
The problem might be that there are way too many events in the station schedule. If they were more spaced out you could actually have time to clear a zone or plan for future arrivals and departures. Maybe changing the mechanic from picking up people to having them follow you or something would work better. Maybe you can do something like the calling mechanic from pikmin to gather passengers based on their symbols.
Good job putting this together in 12 hours, I know balancing a game takes a lot of time and is basically impossible during ludum dare.
Also, I agree with @codbaade that performance is an issue. Idk if its just an Unreal Engine thing but it made my fans spin up to 100% and ran poorly on my laptop. That might put some people off from giving your game a fair shot.
Nice 2.5 graphics and moving little wizards works mechanically really well ~~
The lack of progress and fast difficulty increase could dampen the fun, but the ability to throw mages adds a unique twist. Enhancing theme integration would improve the overall experience.
