I love this style!

sicosiber 2024-04-15 18:53

This is really cool! Art style really sells it!

yochti 2024-04-15 19:04

Nice graphics style and sound design !

locksmitharmy 2024-04-15 19:05

Super cute, great job!

kateryna 2024-04-15 19:09

Really cute, especially the three-eyed cat

drgcandle 2024-04-16 06:53

Brilliant ideas, unique design—I'm really loving your game!

darsor 2024-04-16 13:57

cool job and pleasant music:3

thatfirey 2024-04-16 14:50

VERY cool, very pretty art, very funny and interesting combinations and a very cute three eyed cat :3

ophelialee 2024-04-16 14:58

@thatfirey Thanks for the feedback!! :3

nusan 2024-04-16 15:09

I love the mood and art, the music is working well with the setting too. The amount of content you produced is impressive, so many possible combinations, but the result sometimes feel a bit disconnected from the two origin objects. I also think it would be better with some kind of metric to help discover the combinations you have not seen yet, but maybe it's my task-focused brain. Also having no "natural" place to end your session (that I could find) is a bit sad, as it means most people will stop when they get tired or bored of trying new combinations, and it's not best impression to leave. Anyway, the game is beautiful, cute and fun to explore so thank you for making it!

ophelialee 2024-04-16 15:15

@nusan Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! Our team's main focus has been on creating combinations and designing assets. So, there might be some shortcomings in terms of storyline. We'll be adding more content in the future!

nanmingle 2024-04-16 15:33

很有意思的视觉效果。这只猫太可爱了!期待有人能玩到最后分享一下!我需要更多时间进行尝试。伟大的游戏!

kseniya 2024-04-16 16:03

Really cute

liu-pa-yueh 2024-04-16 16:52

繁體環境下讓遊戲有點難以遊玩,所有的對話都被跳過了。不太明白為什麼會有中文說明,但挺好的,唯一的抱怨是把god默認為爺而不是姥天奶。美術很好。

ophelialee 2024-04-16 17:04

@liu-pa-yueh 你好,可以描述一下繁體環境難以遊玩具體是什麼問題嗎?製作團隊都是中國人,本意是想做雙語。但是對話部分沒有做成功,就做了部分雙語。文案部分時間緊迫沒有好好校對,感謝您的反饋!

liu-pa-yueh 2024-04-16 17:44

遊戲好像會把我的任何互動瘋狂重複,導致我只是點一下按鈕對話就被飛速跳過了,我基本上無法閱讀。放置物品的確認音效也會非常快速的一直重複播放。不確定原因是什麼,但我之前參加Global Game Jam時也玩不了我隊友的作品。可能是遊戲引擎的問題?

deadinfinity 2024-04-16 17:48

There's not a lot of depth to just programmatically going through every possible combination of two items, but the art and flavor text makes it worth it and it plays smoothly! Cool to see we weren't the only ones who thought of an object summoning game.

sam-minh 2024-04-16 18:02

Really nice cute game!

ophelialee 2024-04-16 18:03

@deadinfinity Thank you for the feedback! We've also considered other ways of combining items, but found that the workload grows exponentially haha😂

ophelialee 2024-04-16 18:06

@liu-pa-yueh 收到了您的反饋!不確定是不是unity引擎的問題,鞭策程序去排查哩😮‍💨

tokarts 2024-04-16 18:42

Great presentation, music, art, and mood!

And the three-eyed cat is so cute!!

kristirose88 2024-04-16 19:54

I love the art style; it lends itself well to the overall tone/vibe of this game! <3

javve 2024-04-16 21:11

I love the three-eyed-cat :D Great art style, sound effects and music!

alliegator 2024-04-16 21:46

The art style is great and the gameplay is really polished from what i've seen! Great job!!

literally-void 2024-04-16 21:53

I love the dialogue, and you've nailed the UI interactions too. Congrats!

kobato-games 2024-04-16 22:59

Great game. It was fun experimenting with the various combos, though I have yet to find Edric.

sarah-leeves 2024-04-17 02:27

I love the art style and the introduction! What a cute game!

zhennaperks 2024-04-17 02:58

The three eyed cat is my favorite! Love all the flavor text and the vibes with the music and art. Great submission, thank you for sharing!

ja-viera 2024-04-17 04:15

Very cute art style, the start was too slow but otherwise a pretty chill little game for the people who are curious about experimenting. The game had a few bugs with selecting objects at some point I couldn't continue playing.

wigglypainter 2024-04-17 04:43

I like the art style, hope the game can have some puzzles in it.

ophelialee 2024-04-17 05:22

@ja-viera Thank you for your comment and feedback! The bug has been fixed on the web version now ❤

yangsang 2024-04-17 09:07

很有意思的召唤,不得不说当我看到那个鸡时,我开始疯狂召唤并期待一个人的出现 :laughing:

human-writes-code 2024-04-17 09:50

The art in this game is really good! It's also a pretty relaxing game when you're just combining random things and seeing what you get. I expected it to have more of a puzzle element to it.

I liked the introductory dialogue section and the descriptions of the things you summoned made me laugh.

Good job!

ophelialee 2024-04-17 09:58

@yangsang 我们担心外国友人不明白这个梗所以😂

johnkoop 2024-04-17 11:10

Had a bit of fun figuring out the combos, the art was really nice!

jsmcag 2024-04-17 11:26

Trying things out and seeing what comes up is fun! Great graphics and fun jokes help too.

I wish there was some kind of way of tracking our progress, by listing what combinations we have tried and what they conjured.

landerack 2024-04-17 13:01

really charming, woulda loved to combine things and thus unlock more things to combine with :P but it was really fun the way it was already, nice job

nycoisdreaming 2024-04-17 13:01

Love the artstyle and had fun mixing things. Would've loved to see something like achievements, secrets or some sense of progression.

kristallllllik 2024-04-17 13:24

I really liked the art, and the cat with three eyes is just a cutie! Nice color palette :)

deborah-messaoudene 2024-04-17 14:21

Ohhh I wanted to play your game so bad, I really loooove the graphics but it's not working on iOs :'(

dams333 2024-04-17 18:13

Really cool, and wouah, it's so beautiful. Congrats !

untick 2024-04-17 20:29

Real cute! Especially liked the slime-cat :D

emiliabea 2024-04-17 20:31

Super cute graphics and I love him

nomersol 2024-04-17 23:26

Not an interesting game, but I appreciate your hard work on art and its amount.

ophelialee 2024-04-18 06:11

@deborah-messaoudene Thank you for your support! You can try the web version on your computer. The web version runs smoothly :D

funnypumpkin 2024-04-18 09:54

Very cute! Tutorial a bit long, but overall amazing :two_hearts:

javid-ladhani 2024-04-18 10:09

Very nice. A bit too simple to be called a game. But lots of work on implementing all the combinations.

nishikku 2024-04-18 12:46

The caaaaaaat :scream_cat: :two_hearts: This game is so calming. Love the music and sound effects. Also well drawn! <3 Keep up the good work :thumbsup:

stratcat66 2024-04-18 16:39

The art is impressing

artemy-zen 2024-04-18 23:01

very cute game! I'd love to explore what new things can come out of it. That's awesome!

fosf0 2024-04-18 23:54

I really like the graphics!

jordantanner 2024-04-19 05:21

Cute game, it's fun for a bit to explore the different combinations. Sexy Chicken Roll made me lol a little too hard. The art is really great, and the descriptions and flavor text for all the items is fun to go through. Solid sound design as well!

I think if the game had more clearly defined objectives it would be a more engaging experience for the player (unless I missed something). Nice things to add might be some kind of consequences based on what you summoned, add some pressure like from having limited supply of materials or a time limit, or some other kind of limitations or rules. Overall, excellent aesthetic and mood in this entry! Well done!

smidgens 2024-04-19 09:10

Discovering all the combinations was really fun. I'd love to see a full game utilizing this mechanic (and in this style), for example an adventure or puzzle game. The art is great.

borabee 2024-04-19 12:07

Very cool game!! I love all the items and the fun descriptions. Art and sound is great. I can't belive there is a viable combo for every pair of items!!!

creeper-nade 2024-04-19 15:40

The graphic is fabulous(目前看到的最丝滑的一集), I believe it was super time consuming to design all the combinations and implement into the game.Great work!!! btw, I welcome y'all to can can word:)

hollowbeargames 2024-04-19 15:41

Very nice art style and I was surpised all the combos work, really impressive to get that much art done in the time frame. The music is really nice but I wish i looped slightly more smoothly. Solid work :)

kanity 2024-04-20 01:26

It is so pretty and enjoyable, I would love to see it expanded with a book that has our successful combinations with result written down, and specific tasks for which we would need a specific object summoned. But you put in a lot of work creating something for each combination, and did so with a lot of imagination and humour! It's sad I can't rate this game ?_? But it was fun trying different combinations out!

Also, many creatures were insanely cute <3

My favs:

@kanity Thank you for your likes!! Someone in our team accidentally selected the "opt-out of ratings" option, so we couldn't receive ratings😭 It's been corrected now, and you can rate us!

azathothep 2024-04-20 13:35

Really liked the vibe of your entry! Just enjoying anticipating and discovering the various creatures, you guys did a great job. The amount of creatures you had to design is impressive, and all of them are really fun to find out. Congratulations!

rainbowbl00d 2024-04-20 13:38

This is a very well done game. I really liked the mood of the game.

pseudonclide 2024-04-20 14:07

I really likes it. With the music loop was longer, but it already did a great job to set the atmosphere! Really cute and cool arts :)

coke 2024-04-20 14:26

好可爱的游戏!美术风格很喜欢,音乐搭配的也不错。游戏机制很简单但意外的充满惊喜!整体打磨的很好

racts-studio 2024-04-20 14:32

Good game, slime + Heart.

itskdog 2024-04-20 14:35

Nice art style. Everything worked well. Wish there was a little more to the game though.

dan-allison 2024-04-20 14:46

I love this! The art style is maybe my favourite of jam so far, just incredibly well done pixel art. But what really elevates things further is just how great the summon designs are, there was no combination I was disappointed with and I was very surprised that every combo was unique! Really impressive amount of content for a game jam,

Also, if you could please let me know how I might go about summoning my own mud cat in real life I would very much appreciate it.

kanity 2024-04-20 15:29

@ophelialee oh that's an unfortunate accident ^^' rated it now! :3

semenov 2024-04-22 07:39

Good idea! It would be really great if what I had already opened was visible somewhere.

As, for example, in alchemy.

Thanks for creating the game, thanks for the web build

baluj 2024-04-23 01:51

Nice game, when Scp-173 came out I laughed for a while because I wasn't expecting it. Good job!

krummsakura 2024-04-23 10:46

It is incredible to see the well taught outcomes of each combination. The delightful art and humorous item descriptions are just great. It can be the basis of something far bigger. I hope you keep building over it after the jam. Great job!

digital-bacon 2024-04-23 11:11

Very nice game. Love the art, and imaginative combinations. Well done!

rakowu 2024-04-23 11:16

Hahaha i had to laugh so hard when i combined the chicken with the eye xD And the worst of all, it makes tottaly sense.

d34th0ftit4n5 2024-04-23 12:54

very humorous and well thought out game, the combinations seemed to make some sense and their descriptions were a delight to read!

hermitgamesmiths 2024-04-23 21:18

Super duper fun art, neat little toy. I wish there was a goal besides just see what all the combinations are, but the art definitely makes is worth playing with! :)

erlioniel 2024-04-25 18:33

l like this three-eye cat, it's really nice one, sad that it disappears after the tutorial, I'm pretty sure you put some love in animating it.

I also like that you crafted so many combinations, that's really hard work you've done. The only thing I probably will do differently is instead of brief list of properties per any added some narrative description and jokes around. It really might engage player more.

Just as an example if you call out a second three-eye cat the first one might be happy to have a couple or so. It really might drive player to go thru more options.

Overall I really like the entry and huge respect to the artist, who came up with such amount of nice art!
