Had a lot of fun with this one!
Enjoyed the loop of gaining stones to craft better summons and playing with the different recipes! Only draw back for me was the placing of so many stones to fill your party every round got a little tedious.
Great work!
Really fun rhythm based combat with some cute art!
The songs matched surprisingly well with the inputs and having a rock, paper, scissors section against the boss was a nice touch! Only big issue I had was having a hard time differentiating between the yellow and orange boss colors leading to more than a few hits from the boss.
Y'all made a legit fun game, great job!
Had a good time with this one!
The unit types were unique and had a satisfying amount of available upgrades! Only issue I had was the map moving underneath me when I moved my mouse to click the "BUY" or "START GAME" buttons made me feel like I was chasing the UI. Think the weird feeling could be fixed if moving the map was a click and drag sort of thing to allow menu navigation without moving the map. Though that didn't stop me from playing a few games lol!
Really satisfying and fun, great work!
Great game!
Really loved the gameplay loop and the upgrade system gave it an satisfying amount of replay-ability!
Stellar work y'all!
Really enjoyed this one!
Loved all the different upgrade options available, makes it really satisfying to build out your run, and the overall gameplay was a solid take on a passive shooter.
Awesome work!
Really satisfying take on the "typing combat" style of gameplay!
Great work!
Super fun! I'm a sucker for a tower defense style system and this was solid!
Great work y'all!
Y'ALL that was STELLAR!
Was legit the whole package! The act of drawing the circles was real satisfying and made for some nice tension. Allowing the circle to both summon and do damage also made for some fun strategy.
Amazing job all around!
Loved it!
The bright comic art style mixed with the more unique take on the summon theme with the alien motif really helps it stand out! The core gameplay has a strong foundation, and I especially dig how you balanced out the summoning mechanic with the unit energy meter!
Great job all around, I had a lot of fun with this one! :D
Nice work! Was easy to pick up and understand, with a fun use of the theme!
As others have said, really nailed the atmosphere! The reloading also adds a satisfying amount of tension, and the ability to slide down gives a great sense of risk/ reward attached to it! Only minor gripe would be to add an element of red to the lizards crawling horizontally just to give them that same weight of threat that the spiders have. Stellar work!
This was such a unique idea! Huge props to the visuals and sound delivering a great atmosphere, but the design was solid to boot. It did an amazing job at clearly conveying what I needed to do to proceed, and the variety of items on display gave the simple objective of "falling down" a surprising amount of depth. Really just an amazing job all around!

Amazing presentation and personality! The voice actors did a great job injecting character with some solid line reads! Only minor note would be that the hazard patterns become somewhat repetitive and easy to predict once you make it a certain distance, but obviously only having three days this was still a lot of variety on display lol. Great job on this entry!
Really solid core loop, definitely has the bones to keep building on if you wanted to expand on it! Repairing the ship was a great goal to build towards, and upgrading the oxygen capacity kept an enjoyable pace. Would've loved to be able to upgrade some other stats, namely something like speed/ maneuverability to try and address the sharks. Great job on this one!
The "build it yourself" pinball game is a concept I don't think I've ever seen before, but it's such an awesome idea! Also the art and presentation really make this into a pretty polished product! Minor gripe would be that it'd be nice to have more time to apply new items to the play board, either by freezing everything mid turn once I purchased an item to place, or put it in slow-mo. All around amazing job!
@castitatis OOPS!!! Yup you're absolutely correct, I dunno how I blanked on that slow-mo!? Ignore me, I'm losing my mind lol.
Super clever idea, and great art direction! Having the coffins combine in on one another was a great secondary objective to strive for! Only issue with the design is that it bottle necks pretty quickly due to being unable to expand the hole at the top, though I'd imagine that'd run the risk of making things a bit too easy if it turned into one big pit lol. Great concept and solid execution!
Oh man, so much good stuff here! Loved the art direction, all the enemies were easily recognizable and gave me plenty of heads up on how to plan my attack/ route. Upgrading felt so good, especially getting that piercing shot and just mowing down a full line of enemies as the screen was shaking was some peak game feel. Only real complaint is it left me wanting more of it! Awesome job here, and hopefully I get to see more of it someday! :D
Very satisfying loop of collecting and upgrading, and love how much solid and economical the art direction was! Also such a great touch to have backtracking the paths that you already formed give you a bit of a speed boost. Really great work, and would definitely play more if you felt like continuing the project!
