Such a cool spin on the summoning theme! I think it's hooked up to play games when I do on itch? I really like the artwork as well.

It's a cool concept for an entry, and it fits the theme really well too. One or two more ways to interact would be fun, but it is an interesting start on a project already. I did just encounter a bug where it wandered off my screen, so that might be something to fix in future versions, but given it shows an icon in the taskbar that you can close it with its not a huge deal right now. Overall a really unique idea!

The game picture in the gamelist is quiet the looker, kind of happy it was not what I was expecting. I am not one for these kind of Desktop things but I can appreciate the effort that went into that kind of game. Also realy nice character model great work on that one.

So cute! I love them so much lol

I wish there were more interactions and idle animations, feels a little barebones as it is now.

The artwork is super cute though. This is using stacked sprites, right? I'm curious what editor was used to create the artwork.

@alchemic thanks for the kind words! yeah it's a little barebones at the moment but we might add some small things in the future. if you want a hidden secret: try quickly moving your mouse to all 4 sides of your screen :)

yes it's a combination of stacked sprites and 2d animations! Aseprite + [Stacked Sprite Viewer](https://jontopielski.itch.io/stacked-sprite-viewer) was used for editing the stacks
