LD55 — Summoning

Summoner's Chess by Matt Ravenhall 2024-04-15T16:59:20Z

Very fun! The potential strategies and emergent gameplay is inspired, perhaps this calls for a roguelike version of this concept? The AI is not the best at chess/checkers and neither am I thankfully. Still very impressive, it runs great and looks quite nifty to boot. Love that you were able to add sounds effects with options and all, they're important details too!

I was a bit bad at reading the instructions so until the 6th level I had completely ignored the summon button. That is probably on me but maybe making it a bit more obvious in the UI would be good? Well done anyhow!

Well done on your first jam game! First off the art + audio are really cute (and for some reason makes me hungry for popcorn...) The concept is pretty good, looking at the book of runes and planning for the next wave is compelling.

I feel like the difficulty curve needs to be tweaked, very early on you can always fill every rune on the table at every wave and the challenge is over. Without something incentivizing the player to mix runes up, I felt like I'd seen everything very early on. Still a good job though!
