Thanks for the heads up **K4su**, I forgot :smile:

Really good puzzle platformer, well done! Level 8 is especially well designed.

cope 2024-04-18 04:20

I like the art style!

gobigredfan 2024-04-18 04:26

I really enjoyed this! Great use of the theme and a nifty way of complicating the platforming. Art is very cute and music is nice. The only thing that annoyed me was the baby voice for the summoning lines haha.

ryrumeli 2024-04-18 04:30

That was absolutely adorable! I honestly love just how tight and put together the whole game experience feels. The music is great, the art is cute, the game just makes sense, and the ending is adorable in it's own right! Even the sfx for summoning hits just right! Honestly thrilled by your entry, very enjoyable and fun.

Isso foi simplesmente adorável! Eu honestamente adoro quão precisa e completa que se sente a experiência do jogo. A música é ótima, a arte é lindinha, o jogo simplesmente faz sentido, e o fim é adorável como só! Até mesmo o som para invocação simplesmente dá certo! Honestamente animado pela entrada de vocês, muito gostosa e divertida.

I liked the variety of monsters you could summon to make your way through levels! I found the SFX a bit much on many retries, the ability to turn that down separately from music would be appreciated. I really liked the interplay between different monsters.

vivid-hallucination 2024-04-18 04:36

Beautiful pixel art and use of theme. Fun magic mumbling when you summon the demons, music was great. I got stuck on level 8 but that could just be my smooth brain. I wish I could dismiss a demon.

magnusfurcifer 2024-04-18 05:15

I found the cursed grimoire :o Really cute art style, and the mechanics are engaging and lead themselves to fun puzzles :D Awesome game!

leparlon 2024-04-18 14:16

Got some lost vikings vibe out of this. Cool little platformer. Cute art style and sound. good job

saryah 2024-04-18 15:12

I'm a sucker for "human" sound effects, and this was SO cute. Great entry.

ollie-d 2024-04-18 17:48

I like the mechanics and I think the art is very well done and suits the game well. The different demons all go very well together. Unfortunately there's a bug on level 5 where I died with summoning still active and was not able to restart the level

sariiger 2024-04-18 17:51

The summoning sound effects killed me, really well done! It'd be interesting to see an extended version of this game, because it's a lot of fun to play.

custodi 2024-04-18 18:18

Too cute art style to ignore it, pretty game) Interesting platformer level design

denilseven 2024-04-18 18:21

The mechanics are very neat, it's almost like you're building the level as you place the summons. Good job!

anthonny 2024-04-18 18:49

Really nice! Thank you for this game :)

ben-yazi 2024-04-18 18:59

Very interesting puzzle, unforgiving of mistakes. Funny sounds, excellent graphics! I wish the controls were a bit more responsive.

timo654 2024-04-18 19:06

Fun platformer, I liked how there were multiple ways to solve levels. I wish there were volume sliders, though pressing the right mouse button feeled unnecessary seeing as it stayed active after summoning something. I sometimes got confused by this and accidentally summoned creatures.

jaxah 2024-04-18 19:06

The graphics are simple but effective, the audio is just right for looping but not aggrivating, I love the spell cast sfx. The puzzle mechanics are great - there wasn't a need to activate or deactivate the summoning circle, that could have been left on permanently or tied to another game mechanic like a mana pool. Puzzles are great and scales appropriately. Great work!

konbuscus 2024-04-18 20:09

remind me a lot of the red plumber ! love the art style keep it up !

zimny11 2024-04-18 21:02

It was fun to try it out! The art style is nice, music is well made too. Love the puzzle aspect of the game. Only controls could be a bit improved, since the movement feels a bit too floaty. Besides that, good job!

andreadbx 2024-04-18 22:34

Lovely game and amazing soundtrack!

thegreatcarpet 2024-04-18 23:00

I liked the graphics and the idea. It's very cool and enjoyable to play! Good job!

exister 2024-04-18 23:18

Nice puzzles/platforming! I liked how quite a few of them were more open ended, made the solution all the more satisfying. The music and blue blah bluh sounds really made for a charming game to go along with the fun gameplay. Only thing I would have wanted was more puzzles involving having more than one of each summon to manage, and maybe some more unique usage for the eating guy. Thanks so much for making!

anifan-gelati 2024-04-18 23:33

BLEH BLEH BLA)))

thatsommes 2024-04-19 17:05

Soo simple, yet so much fun, I could play this for hours

asfdfdfd 2024-04-19 19:16

I had hard time with jumps but aside from that = great entry as always!

skyler-newsome 2024-04-19 19:38

Fantastic work!

petitcoke 2024-04-19 21:34

I watched Tobugis (on Twitch) playing this game and they also seemed to enjoy it! Very cool game! This game is nostalgic and reminded me of the old mario games. Good job!

papaver 2024-04-19 22:00

The little demons are so cute! I love how they all have their own power. :heart: The graphics and sounds are awesome!

Level 8 stumped me for a while, but then I found the solution. :smile: The controls are a bit funny, which made that I had to try several times the whole setup for level 8 before succeeding. The spikes are very harsh (also from the sides). I would have loved to be able to use up arrow for jumping.

Overall: fantastic game! :clap:

koolruz 2024-04-19 22:31

Thanks for submitting your game to my stream! I had a bunch of fun playing it, even if I didn't solve the last puzzle correctly ;)

Like everyone else, I absolutely loved the sound effects that the summons made. They were *so* good

papaver 2024-04-19 22:41

Showed your game to my boyfriend and we found an alternative solution for level 8! mylittledemons.png

kaish 2024-04-19 23:31

@papaver amazing, genius solution haha 🤣

jvdwijk 2024-04-20 00:23

This was a really interesting puzzle game! I really liked the art and especially the sound effects (even though they made me go a little bit insane!). The only feedback I think I have: Switch the way you summon things. First click the number to select what you want to summon and then left click to summon, that way it is less about turning the staff on and off, and more about selecting where to place them, might be more intuitive!

If you want to continue this, you could always stretch the levels a bit apart, as now the first couple levels introduce a new summon each time, you could give a bit more time for each summon, see what makes them special.

You can watch my playthrough back in the published vod whenever you want: https://youtu.be/9X9SR_20PuQ

coro-yy 2024-04-20 13:50

Excellent idea with the different types of summonings! The SFX were simple but funny. "blublabla" indeed. Liked the oldschool visuals as well.

tetracold 2024-04-21 04:37

Funny little game, the sprite work is pretty solid and I the sound effects pretty funny and charming lol.

I enjoy games where you make use of using objects in order to help you advance, so I naturally liked the he twist on that idea here. The puzzles were well designed and they made use of the abilities in some pretty clever ways, especially the last 2 levels.

Good entry!

ategon 2024-04-21 12:29

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)

And I'm the host for the ludum dare score chasers tournament this Ludum Dare. Wanted to ask if youre fine if I put some gameplay of the game in an intermission video. Last year for reference:

euler-moises 2024-04-21 13:51

@ategon sure my friend! :D

digitaliliad 2024-04-21 19:35

Great jam entry! The level design made such good use of the mechanics. I loved the art/music aesthetic. I broke the game on lvl 7 (R stopped working when I died on my bug demon from spikes), but I will be back to complete that 8th lvl! Great job, team <3

ungarblapp 2024-04-21 20:05

Really lovely works, I really dig the aesthetic, the graphics are great and the summoned creatures have great mechanics for the puzzles. Overall, Great Work!

ogma-badparenting101 2024-04-21 20:23

I loved this game, from the music, to the adorable graphics. Such a sweet game and just hard enough to keep me trying. Great job. Fun!

brainbetter 2024-04-21 20:59

I had so much fun with this. Would definitely play a longer game exploring these mechanics. The charming art did a lot to carry the feeling along.

k-toll 2024-04-24 00:28

The pixel art is successful, as is the platform style.

It makes you want to see more levels, as the mechanics allow for many interesting things.

A cockroach is not what it seems! bla bli bloup!

Thanks for your game!

idan9000 2024-04-24 02:22

Fantastic entry! The mechanics are clever, the pixel art is great, and the sound effects made me laugh. I had a good time mapping out the path to the end of each level and then executing on it.

gustav-erlangsen 2024-04-24 21:20

This was really fun, well done! I loved the SFX and it was a clever interpretation of summoning!

hexy 2024-04-24 21:28

Love the summoning mechanic. In a more fleshed out game, I would love to see multiple ways to attempt puzzles!

wendel-scardua 2024-04-25 02:22

Áudio como sempre excelente :) (claro a arte também ficou ótima, e as mecânicas funcionam bem, mas quando leio "@euler-moises" já imagino que o áudio vai ser maneiro 😅)

Eu acho que a única coisa que eu criticaria é a necessidade de clicar pra ativar o círculo de invocação, acho que só apertar o número já poderia ser o suficiente.

gabrimer 2024-04-27 01:15

Such a charming entry! I loved every aspect of it, great stuff you have here. The music was particularly intriguing to me, especially with it having the My Little Pony motif at the beginning. Awesome!!!

bleblablaou

flyingkaida 2024-04-27 07:16

Amazing retro entry. Loved the puzzles! Really smooth! There was one level that confounded me for a while ONLY because I had thought I needed the first summon to push the button rofl. Great job!

justcamh 2024-04-27 13:49

Awesome game, there was some great puzzle mechanics here! I did have some difficulty with the controls though, like actually a lot of difficulty, but did get there eventually. I also feel that for a puzzle the challenge should mostly be figuring out the solution, then performing that solution should be easy. But there was a few times that you required some really tricky jumps which threw that off (and forced you to re-place everything when you fail). Still had fun though, and ai particularly like the digging guy, I feel like he had a lot of potential! :heart:

stanov 2024-04-28 20:43

You saw me blablablu it live :)

The voice acting was just golden :) Just like you were creating the game with your kids :)

The difficulty was a bit punishing at some places. It was more of a puzzle game than a platformer, so I would vote for keeping it puzzle and not like hardcore platforming bits.

The LMB was completely redundant - there was no point for not having the summoning mode on at any time.

Also the flashing lights in the itch background were killing my eyes :D

Thank you for stopping by!

andriybyelikov 2024-04-29 13:29

Blablablu/10. Saw your game @stanov's stream. Great music, graphics, mechanics, puzzles and levels! My only grievance is the difficulty of jumping beyond the horizontal spikes. Good job!

romulo-developer 2024-04-29 23:11

Esse jogo foi muito legal. Os puzzles com as plataformas foram bem criativos. As faixas de áudio também foram maravilhosas todo momento que tocavam, além da música que eu achei muito boa para esse jogo e os sprites, apesar de simples são muito fofos e realizam seu trabalho bem. E eu com certeza não tava esperando esse final. No geral, muito bom o jogo.

derpmeowmeow 2024-05-03 15:19

this game is AMAZING! I had so much fun playing with this. It has great balancing and I love/hate that the ultimate demon is a cockroach!!! Overall, GREAT game!

markais 2024-05-04 00:34

Awesome game and interesting puzzles! At first I was confused about the summoning mode, I think it could always be active since you never want to have it disabled. :)
