Really love the art and vibes! For some reason it wouldnt fullscreen for me, which made it a little hard to play / read what was going on. Would be nice to have a fast forward button as well, since parts were quite slow. Still incredibly impressive!
Cute game. Great execution!
Really loved the art style and the lore building that was in that library! Felt some difficulty and confusion in regards to the switch portion and how we were supposed to get to the other side; since it seemed like we were supposed to do to that before proceeding on to the demon in the salt circle. Loved the music as well!
Excellent Idea, and the graphics / vibe are perfect. Really wish there was a bit more of a summoning aspect tho; and would have liked to have seen more clues we needed to put together rather than essentially just reading the book through and noticing the claw marks
Adorable little game! I really liked the take on the theme for this one, summoning creatures as spells in different lanes is awesome! Would've been great to have little mana or health pickups your troops could get for you in the different lanes.
Absolutely adorable. The graphics are some of the best Ive seen so far in the jam. Everything feels so cohesive! The music and sound effects are on par as well. I wouldve really liked to have seen a bit more evolution in the gameplay... maybe moving holy circles to dodge or some enemies or something would have been cool to spice stuff up. Additionally; I must say unfortunately I dont think it fits the theme the best, since the "you have been summoned" screen could easily not even exist and the game would function the same. Still, great entry! I loved it!
This game is so awesome -- 5 stars all the way. Love the MS paint aesthetic and the fun puzzles. Would play so many more levels. Blort is love, Blort is life.
Loved the idea and art! Couldn't seem to get the broomstick summon to work; but its possible I was doing it wrong of course. Some of the "recipes" felt straightforward whilst others were a little ambiguous. No audio detracted a lot from the mood unfortunately. Still very unique; loved the system of summoning through combining the various colors and candle sizes and shapes!
I really like the idea! The graphics are adorable as well. I would've liked to have seen what body part each orb gives for like 10 seconds at the beginning; since without that it's pretty much guaranteed you'll miss the first couple orders unless you get crazy lucky :/ additionally, there was no quit option mid game, which was a little frustrating as I had to force close the application. Overall good job with just a few QOL issues!
Art and audio were absolutely top tier! I only wish the "summoning" aspect had more of an effect on the actual gameplay
Amazing game! Had tons of fun with it; and loved the art and overall vibe. Felt very fleshed out and polished; that being said, gotta be honest the art for the fairies was a little strange... seemed a little loli-esque; but again fantastic gameplay! Only wish the summoning theme was a bit more prevalent, still absolutely impressive for 72 hours!
The art and color palette are phenomenal! The music was a bit jarring, had to mute the site it was quite loud. Would've been cool if enemies could drop hearts/some items or something. It was a bit frustrating to not know exactly which sides we could "exit" whatever current area we were in, so we just had to walk around trying to find a valid exit. No death screen, so had to refresh whenever I died. Loved the art and idea overall!
Cute game, good entry! Nice twist on the theme
Great submission! felt very chaotic at times, haha
Really like the idea and the visuals were nice, but the darkness was just a little much. Couldnt even see where I was going half the time and had to give up because I couldnt find a path to continue going towards some mushrooms because I couldnt see anything -- good scary vibes, my girlfriend was scared
Cute concept! I like the spin on classic survivor-likes. Healing is a cool mechaninc
@kosta777 Thank you for the feedback!! I know; the puzzle controls can be a little odd. It's something I wish I had time to polish up a bit more. Basically, you need to click and drag one piece to one of the nearby empty slots, but sometimes It can feel a little finnicky :/
@argensis thank you!! Im glad the game loop was obvious, unfortunately I ran out of time to properly balance the death and lightning cards, I agree they may be a tad more powerful than intended
@oldmanjoe9 thank you so much for the amazing feedback !! The only cards you can combine are the cooldown card and any of the piece cards, they reduce cooldown of the chess pieces so you can move them sooner. I had planned out many additional combinations but didn’t have time :/ oh well, all part of the jam!
Haha, very cute short game.
Clever idea! wish there was some music or something playing tho. Loved the art style!
