I thought about maybe make a game about devils being summoned, but I couldn't come up with a good mechanic for it. You handled it pretty well, very innovative game. I like the cooldown for teleportation and that fire locations would change after I answer a summon, these make it more meaningful to figure out the orders we want to answer those summoning. Hope there can be more levels. Noice work.

@tomatoomelet Thanks! I actually had multiple levels planned, with the one available here being the 2nd of 3 levels. Didn't have time to implement the others tho :P

Hey there, nice entry. Smooth gameplay loop, easy to understand and refreshing. Well done ! I would also love to play other levels :)

Nice twist, being the summonee instead of the summoner.

The game looks good and is fun to play and the demon has some funny stuff to say.

Nice, good fun. Enjoyed the balance of the abilities with a good level design. Massive audio track too + 1

In the last level I abused left-side altars to make it through

Short and sweet, congrats on a 48h entry!

The music is really well done and the graphics are pretty cute! At the last level I did end up going between only two of the circles since all of them would go out at similar times, it just made sense. Maybe making it so it's more beneficial to not repeat them as often would help? Overall great game, good job!

This was such a cute and simple game but really made you think about the pathing that you took to get to the next summoning circle, well done!

This is awesome!! the tutorial feels very professional. And when that music kicks in it really got me moving haha! Creative stuff, well done! :)

Great game! During the tutorial I expected this to be a puzzle game but then found it quite hectic trying to race to the summoning areas.

Fun! And it's a full package with a tutorial. I didn't expect to win so soon, or to win at all. I thought my gameplay was too sloppy. The cooldown timer should be somewhere else than the bottom right corner because it's easy to go out of view. I'd suggest experimenting with slithery walls as opposed to sticky ones.

Watching others play your game can be extremely insightful, so I recorded my playthrough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg6zKDEwi14

Great game that works and plays really well

Really had a ton of fun you should be proud! Game play was really enjoyable, with a few polishes here and there it would be steam ready!

Nice idea, honestly! I had a lot of fun with the porting mechanic and trying to find out how to port to get super fast trough the round :D well cooked!

This was a lot of fun, and the music is :ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand:

Other than the movement not feeling polished enough (The mazes felt tight, and turning corners occasionally gave trouble) this is a really well-rounded entry, and is probably one of my favorites this LD. Great work!

This is a super cute game. I love mr demon boss, even if he is a little tough on me. Really well polished cutscene stuff and the art is great. I think the actual gameplay is pretty interesting but the movement feels a little clunky (really not bad though. I think my main criticism would have to be that the game doesn't really give you much opportunity to experiment with stuff - I found myself just running back and forth between the bottom two circles because it was easier than trying to figure out what routes to take and hoping that the holes didn't block me.

Overall really good job though this is a great entry!
