LD53 — Delivery

Then Came A Stork by bonkibot 2024-04-12T06:55:17Z

I agree about the gameplay being too slow. Most of the dialogue is finished shortly after you reach the objective so there's no point in it being this long, for what I feel is not the best payoff. I realise it's a game jam but if the empty space was filled with a bit more something it would justify the length.

LD55 — Summoning

Clone fest by Tori 2024-04-16T03:57:19Z

Didn't get through the whole thing but the art is amazing! That wizard is so wack lol

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-16T06:26:52Z

Nice idea. I think the pet could patrol a bit more, very lazy hellpet. I liked the idea of having to remember combos and stuff, fun minigame.

Card Dungeon by Akusan 2024-04-18T12:34:10Z

That was kind of weird, they just kept replacing until eventually they disappeared. Like others said I can see what you're going for. Good shell, battle music and the creatures are really cute and creatively designed. Nice!

Chernoblock by GhostTori 2024-04-16T01:10:10Z

Interesting. I have no idea if some people might be offended by a bit of the humor but not huge deal. Takes a while to piece together what's going on with the comrad cam there could be dialogue saying you're running out or a visual meter for money.

Alchemess by SlickRamen 2024-04-17T02:08:42Z

Unpolished my a**. Nice art lol, plays well.

Summoning Ritual by velvetlobster 2024-04-18T12:39:51Z

Omg, this is the only game I've played this jam that really got my feels. Super talented; great art and music, and I love the way you decided to tell the story. In fact I'll remember that for some of my own games going forward. Beautiful stuff ^^

de-monday by alpdogan 2024-04-17T05:35:54Z

This is strangely relaxing lol. The grind, it truly never ends ;(. Music is pretty on point

Robo Climb by zubspace 2024-04-18T04:55:57Z

Ah, nice. My own little slice of hell. The darkness of the cave, dripping water and clanking of my spaghetti arms and tin can body into unending silence only add to the despair. Tip for new players: Spaghetti arms are like slingshots? Nice game. Cave is not the happiest environment to undertake this struggle though. Too claustrophobic imo Dx

Cultists on ICE by Pusheeneiro 2024-04-16T06:44:50Z

Pretty fun challenge. I agree with the others I can see it being one of those newgrounds games. Gameplay is clear cut and easy to understand, well-executed concept.

Booster Pack Brawlers by Bytomancer 2024-04-16T04:58:44Z

Interesting mechanic. I know it's a game jam but a clear tutorial would help clear things up a bit, especially for those who don't play a lot of card games. The audio and music is pretty good

Reaver by AdamCYounis 2024-04-17T06:15:10Z

Four corners pog. Nice game! AI is pretty nice.

Dreamlings Daycare by Boudichon 2024-04-16T01:51:00Z

Favorite game I've played so far! The graphic style is cute, the music is great, the concept is genius and the gameplay loop is very fun with a clear goal. The time limit and scoring system work really well. Two thumbs up

Destruction Upon The Town! by Pannda 2024-04-17T01:52:57Z

That was fun. I think there is a bit of strategy to it, and a timing in the last level in getting your dudes to survive long enough to do damage, not get killed, and keep a small crowd of your own alive. Sfx are also nice.

The Wanderer by Rustywolf 2024-04-16T06:48:00Z

Finally, a roguelike! This one's done pretty well. Sfx are good, art is good.. Nice.

Mycelium Runner by suvi 2024-04-18T05:04:27Z

Pretty fun game! With a bit more polish and time (i.e. sfx) I could see this being a really great experience. I felt like it maybe a bit too difficult to collect the moisture unless I really put my kiting cap on. Something to think about? All in all though I quite liked it :)

Bendirat by Enad96 2024-04-18T06:01:43Z

This must have been inspired by Hot Fuzz or have similar roots hahahah, but pure Australian version. That art style is great. Nice job

Heroes of Keys & Kingdoms by NBumgardner 2024-04-18T13:00:43Z

Nice! The mechanic kept me playing right until the end. At first I felt like there needed to be more vowels, but then I realised I could just write any word. Perhaps that should have been made clearer like with a tutorial if there was more time. All in all I really liked it! Art was great too.

Spellbook Shuffle by ice9 2024-04-18T05:50:50Z

Nice game! I thought it might be frustrating to have to figure out the spells, but you literally had a creature for every combination (which I thought was great) so that wasn't at all a problem Dx Simple and fun, is what you expect it to be :)

Everything has a meaning by nyanpierre 2024-04-17T05:48:57Z

Nice track playing in the background! Like an elaborate escape room. I'm absolutely terrible at escape rooms so I didn't finish, although I (think) I got kind of close. Couldn't figure out the moon, the painting, the purple thing. Really like the concept though, haven't seen anything like it before.

The Wizard Wizard by BoroBoro 2024-04-16T01:27:15Z

Nice music

-Phonebook of Dragon-ヤクザ電話帳 by AegisFate 2024-04-17T06:06:48Z

Art and music is crazy. I thought samurai and elite fighter would beat the noobs, phone calls too long :(

ClickerMant by DeltaMain 2024-04-18T13:10:17Z

Hey, stop killing my dudes. This game is bad for my carpal tunnel xD

Maybe start me off with +2 mana per click or something. I think the concept was pretty well done, art was cute and fit together nicely.

Date Summons by Pokopish 2024-04-17T01:35:09Z

Great game! Very fun, everything is on point.

Dumb Rock by Answer21 2024-04-17T01:42:57Z

Great music and art. Wasn't entirely why some musicians worked and others didn't.

Dumb Rock by Answer21 2024-04-17T05:23:01Z

@vincenttt ahh okay that makes sense, I wasn't listening for it hahahah. All the best

Battle of the Serifs by CamD67 2024-04-18T05:45:20Z

I actually think the balance is pretty on point. For a while I wasn't sure who was going to win. Cute idea.

Rain Summon by Alexandru Barbanoua 2024-04-18T13:05:22Z

The graphics, music and level design are all really good. Kind of reminds me of Maplestory for some reason.

The Fifth Seal by vivid-hallucination 2024-04-18T05:41:31Z

Nice mood, reminds me of real bad vibes places I've been to irl. Well written, uses the theme in a good way.

Portorium by Natron 2024-04-17T01:58:05Z

Nice framework here. Plays well.

Grid Land by TheMixedMaster 2024-04-18T05:14:14Z

Very cute game, I like the concept. Could definitely see it being a playable mobile idle game. Like somebody else said I do think the production needs to speed up. I got two trees and a mushroom and it's taking on average ~20-30 seconds. It would be less of a problem if I had more decisions to make during that time.

But I like the idea and the execution, it's definitely a pull to see what creatures I can combine next :)

Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools by DrgCandle 2024-04-16T04:44:22Z

The puzzles are well-made. Very nice.

Court Summon by Xavier7 2024-04-16T05:11:50Z

Nice stealth game hahah, I kind of wish they couldn't see me through the walls though :(

Rendezvous by john-clemente 2024-04-16T06:36:05Z

Nice music and sfx! The art is very cute and the gameplay is simple and easy to understand.

God's Apprentice by Kimday 2024-04-16T06:55:08Z

Super cute! I like this kind of game, the puzzles are really clever and would love to see more.

We Blessed Few by koloquials 2024-04-16T04:35:19Z

Very creative, great concept. The music is just amazing. Good vibes overall :)

Scummoner by boba 2024-04-16T01:14:31Z

Personally I give it a 1 for mood. Don't feel like we need games were you go around ruining people's lives. The audio is good. Other stuff is pretty decent. Gameplay is exactly what you expect it to be and easy to figure out, which is good. There's also a tutorial which is a nice feature as some submissions lack one.

You've Been Summoned! by Kevin.L 2024-04-16T06:20:42Z

You're going to court, buddy. Reminds me of lego island for some reason lol.

wow, demons by ColourArc 2024-04-17T05:56:32Z

Fun TD game. I ran into what I think was a bug in the last level where I had 2000 points but couldn't spawn anything despite having other points. Pretty fun though, is exactly what you'd expect it to be.

Ratastrophe by NaPlz98 2024-04-17T01:26:53Z

I like it. Fun concept done well, the audio is quite good.

Vamper by FlamingRat 2024-04-16T04:16:54Z

Definitely has potential to be a really fun game fleshed out with more features. I would recommend having some way to skip animations later on as it can take quite a while with a lot of enemies. Music is nice. Good work!

Fellwand by Albatross 2024-04-16T06:12:36Z

Nice! Can definitely see this going somewhere. The enemies are a challenge to beat and the music is nice.
