LD55 — Summoning

Bean and Brew by RunicPixels 2024-04-21T02:12:56Z

cute game with lots of fun φ(>ω<*)

Labyrinth of Fiends by jcbeaureg 2024-04-24T07:39:05Z

Made it to floor 8th. Nice game.

LD 55 - The Great "Sum"-moner! by Nwoknu 2024-05-01T05:11:51Z

Cute graphics and challenging game. Although it feels like the game flow is a little short, it's still a cool entry :D

The graphics are simple and clear, and the game is challenging. Love it :D

Sumémon: Number Nimrods by SlavTurtle 2024-04-15T13:14:27Z

Fun, interesting, and challenging little game. But it’s so difficult! It reminds me of the fear of being dominated by those 24-point calculation problems in elementary school… QAQ

Sigil by Wuppos 2024-04-21T04:54:02Z

Simple screen, fun gameplay! Despite that it's so difficult for me...〒▽〒

archmage by OldDog 2024-04-18T11:57:58Z

A user-friendly interface with an intuitive control system, and its simplistic yet charming art style is instantly appealing. It offers a relaxed gaming experience with an accessible difficulty level that won't overtax players. While the gameplay might be somewhat brief, it's thoroughly enjoyable.

Certainly deserving of a 5/5 rating!

Interesting combat mechanism! The pacing is also well-controlled, with a good balance of tension and relaxation, and the visuals are vivid and fun. In summary 5/5 stars without doubt.

Breathtaking art level... It's even more incredible that you made it in three days...

You are a myth. 5/5

Vocatio by Mantsje 2024-04-16T11:42:09Z

Difficult for me but it's super fun! Because I used a digital board instead of a mouse when I played this game, I felt the whole board was almost on fire xD

Nectar Nexus by Jupiterintardis 2024-05-03T03:43:03Z

Managed to complete the game in ~1.5h. I have to say, it is incredibly challenging.

The aesthetic is stunning, with a level of perfection that resonates with the game’s core. The unexpected ending was a delightful surprise, offering a chuckle after enduring the grueling gauntlet of puzzles. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the imaginative level icons and numbering to the pollen effects, adding layers of charm to the experience.

As for the game itself, it might just be the hardest puzzle game of this year’s LD competition... Playing it felt like my brain was on fire. Despite the straightforward interface and rules that avoid complexity, the level design is ingeniously crafted. You must have a very skilled level designer on your team. The initial levels (particularly the 10th!) were flawlessly designed. The introduction of new mechanisms later on slightly inflated the game’s structure, although I understand the necessity for such intricacies.

The ambiance of the game is something I particularly enjoyed :D

It’s astonishing to contemplate how all these pieces were meticulously assembled in just 72 hours. 5/5 without doubt. One of the finest entries in LD55.

Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools by DrgCandle 2024-04-16T14:41:40Z

A game that is very comfortable to play. The graphics are soothing and the animations are top-notch. While the concept isn't groundbreaking, it's undeniably entertaining. The level design strikes the perfect balance, not too hard and not too easy, making it not only enjoyable but also surprisingly relaxing (was that intentional?). I started playing and before I knew it, one hours had flown by. Definitely a game worth praising. The best game I've ever played in LD55.

The Bread Soceress Panini! by Aly Name 2024-04-15T17:10:33Z

@andyp @inkweeper It seems to be an issue with browser compatibility. I've found that it works fine on some browsers, but not on others; after making adjustments, the previously problematic ones are now resolved, but the originally normal ones appear too small. So, the current solution is to remind everyone to zoom in or out of the web page......

The Bread Soceress Panini! by Aly Name 2024-04-17T16:18:24Z

Thank you all for your serious and valuable feedback!

Some features that will be considered for future versions: 1. Music and sound effects (if I learn how to do it) 2. More user-friendly operations (supporting scene rotation or an top-down view, camera settings, and mouse control of course) 3. Optimizing the experience, including revisions to the beginner's tutorial and adjustments to a few levels; 4. Reintroducing some scrapped ideas from previous versions that didn't make it due to time constraints.

Little Armies by Aditigro 2024-05-01T04:55:21Z

The graphics are simple and cute, and the game is challenging. Love it.

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-15T16:14:59Z

Simple and fun. It's addictive. I can play this game all afternoon xD

Cool game with eyecatching visual effects! xD

NecroBit by comigor 2024-04-20T08:47:43Z

The visuals are clean and simple, the content is complete, and the difficulty level is appropriate. Excellent work!

LD57 — Depths

Ribux - Spelunker delux by daandruff 2025-04-07T11:04:27Z

It's very concise and looks fantastic! I love its overall ambience and palette.

I wonder what kind of game engine this is made of? It feels so great \\(>ω<*)

Hyperspacedive by marudziik 2025-04-08T07:58:05Z

Nice entry! love the style.

I managed to make it to level 10. Is this infinite or does it have an ending?

Hollowspire by simex 2025-04-25T12:37:25Z

you could just put this one (as it's current version) on steam and we will definitely buy it without thinking twice

best game in LD57 without doubt

DeepFrame 9 by JavaSaurus 2025-04-07T06:10:04Z

really love the music and particle effect. Nice job!

angler by FrauKauz 2025-04-07T12:42:51Z

Very simple but fun game! Even though I can just catch 3-4 fish in a round...

I would like to know how your game background is implemented with shader? It looks cool !

Schooling by Retrisma 2025-04-07T12:09:30Z

Nice game! The gameplay is simple and the difficulty is low. The early content is a bit lengthy, but it is super fun to play until the end (o—▽—)o

(The skill of the final boss is so strong...

I wonder how you animate the fish swimming? Frame by frame by hand? It looks so vivid!

Depth Divers by Paroxysmal 2025-04-07T08:37:10Z

Very relaxed casual game! Personally I love the palette.

(But the difficulty increases so fast... . after 300m it's very, very difficult for me to get over o(╥﹏╥)o

Topography by sudocoffee 2025-04-09T06:13:43Z

One of the best COMPO entries! Although the main levels are a little short, The idea is really amazing and neat! love it (o゚▽゚)o

5/5 for sure

DeepSteep by wo_ri_gou_le 2025-04-09T11:12:18Z

Great entry! Love the art style//

btw, how do you achieve this kind of graphic paper-like style? Shader? That looks really cool!

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-07T11:24:33Z

@stormouse-indie Maybe check out the simple hint in the comments section of the itch page, or use Ctrl+Right to skip level? It's my fault, the difficulty curve of the game is a bit steep...

Anyway, hope you enjoyed it !(〃’▽’〃)

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-07T15:21:21Z

@ellaris @daandruff Thanks for your valuable feedback! That really stands a point!

My concern is that if I tell the player all the mechanics from the beginning, will it make the game seem a little... Monotone? That way, the player can even plan where to go right at the beginning of the level, and it feels like a lot to lose... feelings of "fun" and "unknown"? (Or probably my ideas are just too hardcore and not fun (x

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-07T15:23:59Z

@ghettobastler That's a pity... Maybe resizing the default browser display size can work?

I'm trying to work out the resolution issue and the scaling of the game window itself. Hope it helps. Thanks for your valuable feedback!

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-08T02:16:29Z

@ellaris Thanks for your advice! That really helps ૮₍˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶₎ა

Managing to fix them in a post-jam update now ...

Lotus Well by Aly Name 2025-04-12T01:57:11Z

Thanks for your valuable feedback! (/ω\)

@dumchevdev Fixed the possible bugs. (If the same issue do appears again, a RESET can probably solve it?)

For the last hug by Ice_In_Nortern 2025-04-23T04:38:03Z

Really enjoy it! Love the novel mechanic introduced in the game.

My view is that the difficulty might be a bit high for a game made for gamejam (since most people won't play for a long time); however it's very ok for a normally developed puzzle game! Good job!

Nice game! Really like the pixel-art and the sfx (o゚▽゚)o

Sonar by Kawair 2025-04-08T08:13:43Z

That's a cool game! Managed to get to ~400m. It appeared to be a little challenging for me, but I love it's overall atmosphere!

btw, why not submit it as a COMPO entry?

The rules are a bit complicated, but overall it feels like a splendid entry! It's crazy to be able to complete this in 48 hours. Love the graphics.
