This was crazy good! The two things I liked the most - the MC's run animation, he's like a crazy magician dude summoning the homies like crazy - the elemental combination. When the game ramps up it's super fun!

The graphics for this are incredible, but I think I would have liked a little more autonomy when it comes to guiding the summons.
Cool game! Reminded me of Vampire Survivors. Really liked the background song and it was a fun game!
Summoning survivors, let's go!
Really fun game! All the different particle effects they were visually stimulating I loved it! also the infinite world was a nice touch! Great Job!
Really great honestly. I particularly liked the particles and what I presume is chunk-based procedural loading for the infinite world. The elemental combination is a nice twist on the horde survival genre which I haven't seen before.
I struggled to differentiate what was an enemy and what was my summon in the chaos most of the time, anything that moved I just assumed was an enemy. Fun game, well made
Quite intense and more difficult than I first thought ! Great take on the genre itself, congrats !
Woah, this was really good! Nice animations and graphics! I wish there were some moments where you can catch your breath, like if the monsters could target your mobs also
Super fun little game. I really dig the whole mixing element combinations, lots of cool directions you could take that. I kind of wish there was a way to heal, though maybe I never unlocked the right element for that.
Love the art. I think this is a decent execution of a survivors-style game. I wish the combination elements didn't reset your levels in the other categories (or were much much more powerful), because it made it really hard to experiment. Suddenly being 8 levels down as the enemies are scaling up meant I never really got to a place where I felt powerful.
@drahmen Thanks for playing! There is only one source of healing in the game, the blood elemental. If you can figure out the combination and build your character towards it, it can pay off if you make it.
This was a really fun submission!
This game had me hooked on its gameplay, very simple to understand yet still managed to be addicting. Enjoyed trying out the different combinations of elements. the balancing for this game seemed great, I never felt bored by a lack of enemies or that the game was being unfair with too many enemies.
The art style and music also were incredible and paired really well together.
Overall a really polished game well done!
23200 points, nice vampire survivors flip. Was maxing fire+air, lightning + fire late game. What is current score record?
@st00nsa Thanks for playing! That's a pretty good score, I don't know what the record is, though I know some people got to over 40k. Lightning is one of my favorite elementals too, but my strategy is to go straight for blood for its healing. Did you try out the other difficulty settings? If you can survive them long enough, they have higher score multipliers.
Nice game, reminds me of vampire survivors. I kind of got overwhelmed after a few minutes, the summons took too much time to spawn and the enemies spawned too fast, this might have been a me problem maybe I didn't level up enough. But apart from that a really nice and addicting game.
@zklau Thanks for playing the game. Yes Vampire Survivors was an inspiration, I'm glad that we were able to capture it to some extent. The best gameplay tip I can offer is to find a comfortable size circle to kite the enemies around and you'll be able to pick up the XP dropped by ones you've defeated as you come back around
Graphics are nice ! Maybe it could be interesting if you had also spells you can cast yourself not only the one that automatically triggers itself.
Because right now it feels like you just have to run around. Other then that I liked the overall design particles and monsters. Nice entry !
You are really great! The game turned out great!
I'm keep playing this game, it's very satisfactory! Also I've occasionally figured that's its' not an infinite world, but a looped one! Brilliant!
It is a very unusual and atmospheric game, the visual is quite interesting, it looks stylish and restrained! Good luck with your project, I would have played it more than once!!!

i can't find my victory screenshot :( i had like 17k points and 7 or 8 minutes, i don't remember
nice take on the vampire survivors style, i love the variety of mobs you can summon or fight (they seem to have nice graphics too but sorry i wan't really able to enjoy them since i was fleeing for my life)!
oh and adding different difficulties is a rare but cool feature to see in a jam game!
sprites are nice but they don't necessarily work well together (some have outlines other not, the style from the minion is really different from the summoner…)
but i'll probably come back anyway because i have some combinations i want to test! :D
good job, that's an overall really nice entry!
Your creatures are absolutely adorable! I wish that they were a bit bigger so I could see them!
The background ane enemy art styles did clash a bit with your creatures, but I understand that was just due to time constraints!
Really cool game with great art. I like the range of summon that really had different benefits and the multiple difficulties was a nice touch
HEAAAAAAAPS of fun. I'm actually going to play more later. Very blackthornprodish art style. I like it.

Had a great time playing it. The elemental combination system is a great mechanic. Good job!
Gameplay is really engaging. I forced myself to stop playing to write this. Art style of elementals is both cute and eerie. as mentioned above by another person, they could be a little bigger to shine. Great job!
Solid entry! Enjoyed playing it. Even tried again to unlock a combo elemental. Would maybe have preferred a slightly slower movement speed, because I got stressed out. Also felt like the enemies almost spawned on top of me sometimes. But overall, really nice.
At last, an action game! Great job, rock on!
