I got stuck when I spawned too many Josh's! XD Very fun to play!!
Not enough Joshes. Josh and Fluff are OP. That said, the voice fx really add to the mood when conjuring xD fun game!
The sound design is amazing. Perhaps the player is a bit slow or the map is too big, because in the end, my strategy was just hiding behind a wall as I summon Josh's and Fluff at the other side :joy:
Audio work is amazing and really makes the game stand out. It would be nice to have a tooltip for the summoned creatures, describing their roles/stats.
Fun and satisfying to play, Patrick OP
EDIT: I completely missed that you can click/hover on the creature buttons with the mouse since I used the keyboard 1-2-3 keys. :D
Thanks for playing our game and for the feedback guys! :heart:
@crushedsummers Haha, yeah, we didn't manage to hit the perfect pacing / scale of things :sweat_smile: and we were thinking of disallowing that strategy, buut it's just a small fun jam game for now. The Steam version will not allow cheesing like that!!! :joy:
@tracex There are tooltips for the creatures the player can summon (when hovering over the buttons), but if you mean the enemy ones - yeah, it would be nice to be able to see their stats, perhaps in a place out of game that only reveals info as you encounter and fight new creatures, so first few times are always interesting as you get to know how they behave!
Josh
Not much graphics. However I loved the audio when you spawn in your mobs, don't know if the enemy orbs did anything.
I really liked sound effects! It reminds me the experience of playing Diablo as a Necromancer
Flufff!!! Josh + Fluff is goated! I really enjoyed playing your game!! And I love your style!
Josh OP
I've been rather satisfied with Josh, but I can't beat the boss. He seems to dash through my army of Josh.
Josh.
HAHA YES these are the best sound effects. I loved spawning tons of fluffs and watching them do their magic.
_Josh! Joooosh! Josh!_ Fun concept, Definitely in line with the theme. I found it a bit easy since I could hide behind walls and spawn things on the other side. But I enjoyed playing it and I loved the voice acting! Good work!
Jooosh is toooo good! I just ended up endlessly summoning Joshes, wish Fluff and Patrick could have some love and get stronger abilities XD
Cool game! The sound effects are great and the game is pretty fun. Perhaps a bit too easy since you can summon through walls without getting hit but overall it was pretty fun!
Cool little game. I really like the sound design. Well done.
I liked the idea of being able to summon creatures. It might be cool to start with the ability to summon only a few creatures and then be able to summon more as you progress.
Josh is too strong, aahhh. It is worth noting the high level of AI, however, there are often jams in their own summons. Very nice sound and animations. Unfortunately, my boss is stuck in the wall :(
That thing with the mouth and the manibles was way too fast. Surrounded it with about 20 joshes and it wouldn't die. Then it immediately leapt to me and I died in one hit.
The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It's like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!
Very Josh game.
She josh on my ing till I die to the final boss zooming at me at mach 5 Jokes aside, I feel like the thing you'd need to summon is josh and don't really have incentive on using the other summons. Also I saw the boss stuck in the wall at some point?
Josh, Fluff, Patrick. They are my favorite characters in this game!
the characters look funny, you got into the theme)
There is something in this. It's funny that their names are pronounced when they are called, my beloved Josh. There are not enough sounds and level design, but it is played well. Good job
This game is kinda Josh!
10/10 voice acting, but really feels like it needs more Josh
Good job! I love the voice acting, it really helps with humour. The Joshs seem a little overpowered, but I'm not complaining as long as they on my side.
