Pretty chill game, i like the idea of summoning from the remains of the enemies.

Very good implementation, feels very clean to handle. I won but didn't manage to summon number 4, maybe I try another run later. Very nice game!

I really like the style and the gameplay! Died of a bat in wave 4 though :D

took a while to figure out how to summon the stronger ones and it was kinda hard to tell when i got hit, but overall a fun game ^^

There's a surprising amount of tactics, and nice use of the theme! I like these sorts of tactics / puzzle games and this was a fun implementation.

Very fun game ! It took a while to figure out the controls but once you get them it's smooth sailing. I'd advise a color code to help distinguish enemies from allies. Congratulations for your work !

Very well made and polished game. I really enjoyed the mechanics and I think you could actually do more with this idea. Thanks for making it.

Highly addictive gameplay loop! I was ready for it to just go on forever, expanding the game field over increasing waves.

Very Nice Game. The concept is great. Also it was not to easy and not to hard. Its a great base to build upon. Could become quite a cool full fledge game I think!

The mechanics feel interesting with the right amount of polish in presentation (graphics and sounds are simplistic but very cute!). The balance in mechanics is perfect. This reminds me of retro console games, but the addition of modern touches makes this an even more delightful experience. I believe this can be digged deeper as you're planning to, but I've already had much fun with this!

The controls may be a bit obscure in the beginning, as the player is required to remember quite a few keybindings and rules; maybe the introduction can be made a bit gentler. Despite that, the explanation turned out quite clear once I understood the backing logic.

Enjoyed the tuning of difficulty and how you have to manage the mob movements to place your potents items to be able to summon, had a lot of fun ! Would have love to see more subtle mechanics tho but it's a solid start

Excellent gameplay mechanics, I enjoyed it! I think the difficulty is well balanced. The art is simple but effective. Great job!

At first I didn't realize that I could summon from a distance XD. I like the sound effects and controls. I think an in depth tutorial would help new players. Well done. :)

Awesome game, loved the summoning. Was pretty difficult, but not completely unforgiving. In game tutorial would have been helpful, and some music would have made this pop! The art is great and the sound effects add to the experience! Good work!

Love your take on the theme. Chill atmosphere and cute artstyle!

Great job!

The game is great fun! This concept has great potential, and I really hope you'll keep it up! (An infinite mode would be cool af)
