10/10 voice acting
Heeeeey, I beat the game - *DUN DUN DUN DUN* Heeeeey, I beat the game! Absolutely amazing game, took most of my lunch break with this. I love you included voice acting, and the end music was the chef's kiss. :)
@manabreak My siblings and my wife have been singing it at me near-constantly since I uploaded it. No regrets.
10/10 voice acting seconded!!!! this was absolutely fantastic!
zut I caused the apocalypse! Very nice idle game... like the others people I find that the music and sounds are really good... everything is rather funny. On the other hand when I played in full screen, the texts were tiny and it was difficult to understand the game. So i let the game in a tiny window and zoomed my screen manually and it was more comfortable. Thanks also to the cultists who don't need to be clicked on to provide materials.
@piero-pbes-studio I did have the UI scale up to avoid that problem, but at the last minute I realised that it breaks the tooltip and context menu popups so I had to disable it :(
I enjoyed spending some time figuring out the game. Thanks for the work!
Fun experience. Good amount of content for a compo submission.
Impressive efforts sir! Surprisingly feature complete. Good job! Took me 18 minutes to complete it!
Idle game with strong RTS vibes (especially the unit voice lines). The VO overall was such a devious treat. Thank you!
that was awesome haha. Favorite game of the jam thus far. The only negative I have is that it took a lil bit of idle gaming before I figured out the pie mechanic. (thank you for allowing the idle repeating mechanics!)
*hums 'heeey you beat the game...'*
Great entry! I had a lot of fun building my empire of demons :smile: i was thinking about commenting something like "automation would be nice" and the i saw the research options :smile: very satisfying!
@storeyware _they beat the game_
Interesting, the voice acting is fantastic lol
game_try.png finished it in 15m, like it, backing me into some sort of clickers i think?
i also found a bug, when you can put any structure on where imp stands
Incredible entry, it feels super complete, the voice adds so much and is also very funny. It's often risky for a dev to do their own VO but you pulled it off perfectly. And the ending was brilliant too. I love a good incremental game. This will definitely score near the top for humour, and I think pretty high overall too - loved this one!
That was pretty fun :D
Very very sweet entry, congrats :) . I don't usually play these types of games, but this one was very hooky! Bravo!
Played just a bit, probably even with the bug on.. I will try the downloadable in some time, thanks!

Very fun game and incredible voice acting. The upgrades go surprisingly deep and the game itself is extremly satisfying. Overall well done.
Extremely well done! The voice acting is hilarious and the gameplay has enough changes to not too repetitive for the duration it lasts :smile: I would have loved some keyboard shortcuts or the selection not being cleared for every click though!
I made a video compilation and this game is part of it! Hope it's useful for you! https://youtu.be/NJKVSQgn7-E?si=pIClVOYC3hTwkT0Y
...also had to go back and beat my previous time

This game is a perfect experience. It is funny, it is well made, the audio is of rare quality, and there is a well-conveyed plot! Congratulations!
At first I thought "Is this a Tim Minchin reference?" when I saw the name of the game. After beating it, I'm 90% sure it is, but I'd still love it if you could confirm.
I really hope you win Compo, this is the most fun I've had so far in this LD :D
@heytherewill not consciously - I am however a big Minchin fan (narrowly missed out on an opportunity to see him live 12 years ago which I'm still kicking myself over) so maybe some of his influence crept in a bit!
And thank you for the kind words!
Cool game! I enjoyed the gameplay and the RTS vibes from the voice acting. Nice graphics, audio and song :) The only slight inconvenience is that when the window with the selection of an action is open and it is not active, because there are not enough resources for it, I expected that when the resources appeared, it would become active, but I had to open the selection window again. Nevertheless, the impression of the game is very positive. 123.png
Audio definitely 5/5! The gameplay is rather simple, but it is fun and that's the best combination you can have on Ludum Dare jam. I haven't experienced any problems, it was fun, and I was able to play on my own pace, I appreciate that there were no timers, or "hurry!!!" mechanics. I was able to read everything carefully, and enjoy the game.
Brother, how are you not a professional voice actor?!
Amazing voice acting! Loved your game
This game make you realized how good it feels to have passive income and have daemon works for you, 10/10 it's too fun, i need more
This was fun!! Hated all the clicking in the start, but the reliefe I got from automation was perfect!
I enjoy this type of game and the theme was amazing!
I tryly expected the Last summoning to be another burger, all that work, and you get a burger.
@thatsommes honestly, I considered it. If I ran out of time, it was going to be a second burger :laughing:
This was well constructed and fun! At fist I was a bit disappointed that you have to always repeat the commands, but that (partially) got solved later by researching automation :smile: I only had some difficulties finding the mechanic to get cakes, so I was stuck for a while to get the last summoning circle.
Remembered to have played a game of you some jams ago, so wasn't surprised about the superb voice acting, the ending song got me by surprise though :smile: Surely that was the music Lovecraft had in mind when the old ones awake
That was actually really fun! And the song at the end was the icing on the cake.
Voice over sounds professional, it is really really good! Mechanics are well thought-out, progression seems to be smooth, not to slow or too fast, and I like pixel-y style. I'd say sprites of my followers and shrines I liked especially, more than my summons. Looking with options of Devourer, wow that got darker xD Very good theme representation imo!
