Terrifying... and FUN!

You guys put effort into this. :tophat: Good looking Itch page with credits , gifs. Good starting ambiance with musing and graphics. Wow :open_mouth: animated transition to game. Feels like full game instead of jam game. Tutorial is awesome. so clean. Rune shaders are also awesome. One issues I am having After failing the first time (Well failure is enjoyable in game) :wink: . I again start with tutorial. I want to play it normally after one time tutorial.

Very cool game! Funny story, gameplay with good difficulty, but I gotta say, late at night after coding all day I'm very slow at this hahah.

This was very fun! I will have to come back at some point to get the other endings! Very cool story and visually looks great as well. Kept getting messed up where runes where from the rotation of the cube, it was great!

mortith 2024-04-16 20:13

Haha it's fun! Your cube is way more pleasant to use than our book and the story is great! Love the style

You character generator is soo cool! Game is fun and reminded me a rubiks cube solving

I had some cracking in the audio (could be also on my side) but i top rated it since it played well and I liked the concept and execution.... obviously I did't read properly first time and screwed up the first summoning ... it was very funny :D

The game is great fun, so are the characters, and the graphics (even though they're low poly) make the game interresing and immersive :) PS: I validate the pun

Interesting game! I like it!

prcastro 2024-04-16 21:43

Nice twist on the theme and the act of playing is very engaging. Sometime though, the game ask you to perform multiple sequences to advance the dialogs, which I think slowed the pace a bit. Very fun and nice look game though, you should be proud.

I did not expect 'rubicscube meets simon says meets hangman'. Wow :D This definetly has a steep learningcurve to it. I really love how this concept uses the 'summonning' with a very humorus lose condition. I had too many giggles just wanting to see how absurd the sumo can look :')

fenix131113 2024-04-16 21:49

Interesting concept and funny game. Love it

benzin 2024-04-16 21:52

Very fun concept! You can do so many things with the cube it can get your head spinning :D

incredibly cool game! the timed segments are a bit too difficult for me lol. i wish there was an endless mode of some kind! even though its a simple mechanic, rotating the cube feels incredibly smooth and satisfying

digiduncan 2024-04-17 06:48

Really cool concept! The timed segment is a bit hard for a beginner, and cube rotation could have been easier to do (being able to rotate the cube but keep looking at the same face would have helped with rune deciphering) but dang, really fun otherwise!

momotiktik 2024-04-17 13:02

This is one of the best entries in this jam, honestly! :D I loved the idea, also this game has the mixture of madness and humour one can only find in the old PS1 games, I like that there are multiple endings (I'm yet to open them all) and I really-really appreciate that not all stages are on timer hahah. Nice one, guys!

stevie257 2024-04-17 14:49

Interesting game! It's a little tough at times, but it's fun. The graphics are good too!

yuu 2024-04-17 15:42

Very funny game. Loved the cube and face animations and the funny combinations of the body parts! The low poly graphics were really fitting for the game. Great job!

Died 'cause when I saw a tentacle, I wanted more tentacles 6_6

Game for big boys

javid-ladhani 2024-04-17 20:25

Great game. The first part of the story was a bit slow. Hard to get through when I got the 3rd ending multiple times

skleembof 2024-04-17 22:26

Exceptional overall presentation. The graphics and audio were very charming, but the gameplay was a bit tedious and got exhausting after a while. The idea of creating a character by summoning body parts and features with cryptic runes is an awesome idea, but not much of a game on its own. I got ending 3 and wanted to see what other endings were like but having to play through the whole game again and redo all the symbol matching sequences kinda put me off.

Great job on creating a truly unique LD game, I doubt there's another ritualistic sumo wrestler summoning game out there :laughing:

Awesome! Very impressive how you managed to do so much and such a polished experience. Really liked the story and the concept a lot, the writing was top notch! When I played it it felt like the overall pacing of the game could be tweaked a bit, some parts felt slow when you got a long list of runes to click, and then when there was a timer it suddenly got super hard, I guess there is quite a learning curve. Really liked that there was multiple endings, I was motivated to replay and try to get it right, but only managed to get the 3/5 ending. Will have to play some more :) Overall fantastic work!

zerolarih 2024-04-18 13:05

Very interesting and fun, I loved the game design, it's very beautiful and cute. I was surprised by the ending I reached, you guys did a great job!

xenachos 2024-04-18 21:32

I love the tone, and the 3D models are so well polished ! GG :)

hideyzzz 2024-04-19 21:53

Cute sumo game, they said....

guilherme-tartari 2024-04-19 22:36

It's a really fun game! I loved the aesthetics, and unfortunately I'm really bad at the game, and I was unable to achieve the good ending T-T

anifan-gelati 2024-04-20 13:41

Very very good. I liked the gradual increase in difficulty. A little confused when turning the runes, but that's just my spatial thinking issues) And so, super cool
