LD55 — Summoning

Imp Unsummoning by riv-roy 2024-04-16T15:32:09Z

Looks like the type of game I love playing! A small explanation of how to play would be nice (if there wasn't enough time to add that in the game, maybe it'd be nice to add a small gameplay video or instructions in the entry). Please let me know if you do that and I'll come back!

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-16T03:02:47Z

Thanks for playing @gold-daniel. I'm glad you liked the visuals! The art folks are insanely talented.

It's unfortunate that you encountered that bug though. I saw it a few times but couldn't figure out why it happens in time :frowning2:

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-16T03:05:44Z

Thank you very much @judjudson! I'm kicking a new build with those settings. Fingers crossed!

(In the meantime, the game works on itch.io!)

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-17T10:57:31Z

@martenj Thank you! Both artists in this team are insane. You know, I feel like the player should be faster too. If we were to fix things in our little game, I'll do that. And a smarter pet! :dog:

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-17T13:19:51Z

@ru-mey funny thing with the orbs! They work as intended, but you can't collect them if mana is full. This is an issue on our (my) end because we should certainly make more clear why the orbs can't be collected. Certainly something else to add to a post-jam version (if it ever happens!)

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-17T13:27:56Z

@isayneigh aw thank you! Honestly I suck too. I'm pushing for a post-jam version! As for the freelancing offer, I pinged the art wizards about it ~

Poltergeist for Hire by JudJudson 2024-04-16T03:16:05Z

Oh wow, left me wishing it was longer! I loved cooking my grandma's secret poisonous bowling ball recipe!

Hell's Helper by nohac 2024-04-16T22:07:14Z

I'm not great at this type of game, but had fun! I feel like the difficulty curve was more like a gap in level 3. Couldn't beat it unfortunately. But that's probably me being terrible at the game. I liked that we have upgrades. Visuals and sound are great! I'd like to see you keep working on this.

Summoner Tycoon by FlyingKaida 2024-04-25T15:12:40Z

First of all, I can't believe you made an online multiplayer game for LD. It's usually not recommended because, as other comments said, most people playing jam games want to play alone. But it's also not recommended because of how hard it is and I, as a programmer, am amazed to see you actually got it to work! Congratulations.

I got pretty far in the game, but couldn't figure out what to do after unlocking the lectern. Using it consumes mana, but nothing seems to be happening.

There are some technical nuances around colliders and graphics (unsolicited tip: disable bilinear filtering for pixel art sprites — you want to use what Unity calls point filtering, it can also be called "nearest neighbor").

In summary: great technical achievement and I like what this could potentially be, but the game is not really intuitive which ruined the experience a bit for me — sorry.

Summoner Training Simulator by Brainbetter 2024-04-16T22:26:44Z

Great puzzle game! I loved the small details (especially the music changing when connecting incorrect pieces). I unfortunately couldn't figure out the solution to some of the puzzles and the website keeps refreshing on Safari due to "using too much memory" (I'm on your side, I don't think it is).

And yet, this is one of my favorite entries so far!

Final Chants by chybby 2024-04-25T14:43:43Z

Great audio and insanely achieved mood. Sadly, the mood was so well achieved I couldn't get far cause I'm a coward, so I'm only voting in the categories I could appreciate. Sorry sorry sorry!

Summonware by HelperWesley 2024-04-16T02:26:05Z

I liked this! Gave me Dumb Ways To Die vibes. Took me a few lives to understand the rules, but when I got it I had fun.

The art style was perfectly achieved, you definitely know what you're doing.

Great job. Congratulations!

Where Have All the Globbletops Gone? by redoplus 2024-04-17T11:49:23Z

Someone from my team told me to try this entry and DAMN it was worth it! A quote for your accolades: 🍀My favorite game from LD55*🍀

*so far, at least!

Siela by Gnum_ 2024-04-16T22:55:20Z

I appreciate the voice acting! Probably the best thing in this short jam game. The art is ok. The gameplay itself is a bit lacking, sorry, but please keep going! If there's a story here to tell, I want to hear it. Congratulations on having finished the game in time!

Boulder Blocker by Cody Holt 2024-04-16T20:58:47Z

Fun game! I feel like the levels could've used a bit more love, but overall the idea is good and the different elements in each level added a variety I wasn't expecting. I'd like to see you come up with more levels in the future!

Oversummoned by SID37 2024-04-16T22:44:09Z

Audio and visuals are great and I haven't encountered a single bug throughout the game, which is a major feat for a game jam! Congratulations to the team.

Unfortunately I think this game has a lot of potential that doesn't go as exploited as I (and probably you?) would like. It gets more laborious than 'fun' to start changing things here and there. Maybe adding a timer to make me want to keep all the plates spinning may have been a nice addition?

Still, this is a game jam and you folks are amazing. This game deserves some iteration and I hope you see where it takes you!

Moving In and Moving On by Artmuse62 2024-04-16T21:54:33Z

Woah, I'm glad I found this little gem! Not many games have voice acting and the audio here was amazing. The story was ok. I would've liked more depth and context to it... but it got me hooked until the end anyway (which, trust me, is a huge compliment since I'm not a big fan of reading). Great job!

Indistinguishable From Magic by bearcage 2024-04-16T02:39:25Z

Really nice! I have a weakness for pixel art and it was certainly great in this game. It was a bit confusing at first when there was nothing to do in the basement, but figured it out. The arrow next to the player definitely helped a lot and was a great addition!

Congrats on finishing your game in time :smile:

The Summoned Struggle: Tales of a Tag-Along Demon by MartenJ 2024-04-17T11:03:13Z

Ohhh I love roguelites and the art style is amazingly achieved. Great entry!

Who Summon Crazy Delivery Guy? by JIMUU 2024-04-16T04:09:21Z

Destroying the map you so carefully crafted felt FUN.

Welcoming the WORLD-EATER by coolasjake 2024-04-16T04:03:26Z

This is NOT FAIR. You don't know me, but you somehow obviously know I have a weakness for idlers. And this is a GREAT ONE!

Seriously, I'm having fun (writing this comment while I farm resources). Took me a minute to understand I had to draw the circle until I watched your video.

I can't figure out how to summon Him now. Is it a special combination? Do I need resources!?

EDIT: I summoned Him! And laughed with the ending. A great idler!!

Cadence Crisis - Ludum Dare 55 by AllDee 2024-04-16T21:56:15Z

Game looks fun in the screenshots. I'd really like to have a WebGL or Mac version :frowning2:

LD57 — Depths

abyss by A0405u 2025-04-08T23:54:23Z

I love the concept! Spent a long time building a (very non aesthetically pleasing) tower. Figured out the farming, which I love! I couldn't figure out the goal, sadly. I know it's there somewhere and I'll keep coming back to it until I do!

The art is *spectacular* and I did NOT expect things to break from falling on them too hard. That was amazing.

Definitely agree with the comment above mine: this is such a potential time sink!

UPDATE: I managed to get out! Had to take a peek at the GitHub repo. METAGAME!

The Way We Left, by Elien Pathcarver by alyd asmar 2025-04-08T12:55:53Z

Absolutely loved the drawings! My compliments to the ~~chef~~ artist.

Loot Well by retonymy 2025-04-08T11:12:47Z

Aw thanks! @nuelijarma there *is* a surface. We need to tweak numbers a bit though, because it becomes too hard too quickly :stuck_out_tongue:

Loot Well by retonymy 2025-04-23T11:10:28Z

Thanks @roroto-sic! I think that's higher than we ever achieved. Also I just learned C# auto-localizes currencies :open_mouth:
