Oh, the art is adorable and those little "hello"s (or at least that's how I heard their little noises :laughing:) are chef's kisses. Simple, yet very well made entry!

This was great! Good job on getting back on track and finishing a game after a few false starts — I definitely relate to that from other jams. Recovering and backtracking from wrong directions is a skill in and of itself tbh, so you leveled up in that department for sure.

Love the funny demon illustrations and a solid, simple well executed concept. For what it is, it's very nicely polished and complete! I love the wiggle effect you added. Only thing I wish is that it kept my score on screen after the game ended so I could share a screenshot. The sounds were nice, funny, and the music had a nice beat that almost made me wish this was a rhythm game.

Great work I had fun playing for a minute. :)

It could so much be a rhythm game !

The music is great and the art is amazingly cute ! I loved the demon's voice :)

That's pretty impressive for something you made in just a day !

The demon would be nice as a plushie or on a t-shirt :D

Love the catchy little ditty playing in the background! Great work, for the limited time. I 100% relate to the "series of false starts," lol.

Lovely short game! While the gameplay is very simple, the whole game is very polished and feels complete. I especially love the little bit of animation on the demon, which adds a lot of dynamism. Now I kinda want to try playing it on a dancepad...

Hi! what a cool game, please send me stickers of the demon! I need it on my computer!

Not bad for a day! While simple, what's there feels polished. The music was so jamming that I subconsciously kept wanting to press the buttons to the beat without it being a rythm game :smile:. the little drawings and voices were great as well.

Heh, I only got 16 on my first try.. I liked the simple and straightforward gameplay loop augmented with good sound design, a very good UI and altogether, this felt very polished. I would like to see my score at the end displayed, but that's a small thing.

That's pretty good for just one day. Really loved the cut art style for the demons. The game kinda got me addicted to play it multiple times

Very impressive in just one day of work, and congratulations for being persistent and getting back on your feet! Lovely art too.

Ultra simple game but the execution is flawless ! I like the art style, the demon looks so happy ;)

Great art! The demons are adorable. :heart_eyes:

Wow that's a really polished little game. You've made the cutest demon I've seen in this event, which is literally full of demons. XD

The music as well as the sound goes really well with the art style. Impressive!

A game consisting of only quicktime events :DD Love it so much :D Love how the bean keeps smiling so cutely after each summon

framboisedodue 2024-04-17 13:47

I love the artstyle and the concept ! That demon was adorable ! I just have to say that the red on your itch.io page might have made me blind for a few seconds though haha

Simple but extremely polished. The atmosphere created from just a few notes and the cute demon sounds is brilliant. As you mentioned, it's a shame that you could only spend a day on it, cause I feel that with a twist in the gameplay, it could have been truly perfect ! Very nice entry, well done !

So cute and so fun! Fantastic job with the art and audio, so much charm! Also seconding @rpgwanderer

omg those sprites are so lovely :heart:

the game was actually more difficult than i thought, i was only able to get like 15 demons in a minute, but i found you can still summon them and increase your score after the minute has passed haha

pierogo 2024-04-21 03:05

of course it's super simple but for just one day it's very cool - ultra cute graphics and sounds, catchy tune, the ceritified addicting helldivers minigame gameplay - it's got it all :sunglasses::thumbsup:

piero-pbes-studio 2024-04-24 14:39

it's a charming little game where it's a real pleasure to summon demons who seem to be really nice. In any case, the whole thing is super clean and it makes you want to see more.

Little and fun one with good artworks! The mechanic is simple with nothing new, but it is really polished. Great entry.
