Shadow Summoner by Tommy 2024-04-24T18:40:53Z

Hey, really cool game. The concept is really cool. But the ranged units and support units did not really felt worth waiting a second or third circle for the rune. just spamming tier three meele felt to powerful in every situation. Except the stalker, but I do not think there is a really good strategy against them in the current state of the game. But its a super solid, well done base that has cool potential. The graphics are super cute and the sounds great.

Patty Panic by thomz12 2024-04-17T17:19:26Z

Great entry. Well Polished and Nice Loop. Would also add some attantion for the nearly filled up bar would be nice. Ideas to bring it to the next level: Upgrade System with possible Upgrades: 1 Little helper that helps you with the task. Sneaker: Makes you faster. Showact: Makes the bars fill up slower. Illegal Enhancement: Makes the time go slow but with cooldown. Bouncer: Let the line fill up slower. etc. etc. Could also add different levels with bigger rooms and customers that are different in demand. In one place they have no problem with waiting in line and waiting for the invoice but want their food super fast... All in All cool Game. And obviously cool engine!

Alien Summoner by harusame 2024-04-16T21:34:03Z

Wow. Awesome Game for three days guys. The Pixel Art with all the buildings different Kaju, Military, Effects, Running People, the UI. Great Stuff. Also it plays well and is very polished. Nice Sound too. Maybe a it on the very easy side, but its just fun to overrun the City in a few minutes. :D

Summoners Incorporeal by NotExplosive 2024-04-18T21:28:52Z

Very special game. Hit the theme very well. The art was fitting except all the people on cocain. :D And the movement was a bit clunky. But that aside finally some large clean Text. I really dislike all this super small text on my whd. But the game was also super fun. Great idea with a nice story and funny ending. Although the balancing is a bit of. But thats not an issue for a game made in 72h. The learning curve was there and it was fun to hit the high numbers. A pitty the highest Contract is only measly 400 Points. :D And why are potatoes not for summoning - demons have no taste... or should I just have tried it... who knows. :D Nevertheless great work guys! I enjoyed it very much.

Summoning For Dunces by SquareMan 2024-04-16T21:58:07Z

Hey. Neat concept with the summoning ingridients, but the summoning and destroying the tower was very unclimatic. Not shure the different summons had any influence at all? Nevertheless cool entry for the 3 days. :) The summoning hut looked quite nice.

Woodland Rituals by Kilian BAPTENDIER 2024-04-17T18:10:11Z

Hey nice looking game. But its basically all prebuild assets even the character controller? The Gameplay itself feels a bit bland to me. But nice job putting it all together. Has a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Woodland Rituals by Kilian BAPTENDIER 2024-04-18T12:50:04Z

@hystaf Yeah I saw that with the graphics rating, therefor my question. But cool stuff and nice job. Looks really atmospheric. Also using assets and putting them together to work and look well is still not easy! It also did not felt to laggy and I could play it on my non gaming laptop, which is not the default with unreal engine + good looking assets mushed together. Good job there. :)

Zarguuf The Summoner by Juutis 2024-04-18T20:13:40Z

Damn Nice Game. Very polished and great consistent style. Nice animations and combat system. Event nice bosses with different attack patterns. Great implementation of the theme. Felt really nice playing it and killing the last boss. Maybe a little story in the game. But even without the atmosphere is nice. Very Good Job!

Dominion by Durrani19 2024-04-17T19:14:25Z

Wow. Nice Game its a cool twist on the genre. Its also really well polsihed with nice content for the time. Art is great. Full Screen would be nice. It was rather tiny on my screen. Gamepad control would be awesome or mouse. Move in cursor direction, drain on right and summon on left. Great Job. Could see taht as a full fledged Game.

Claws and Conundrums by LocksmithArmy 2024-04-16T12:57:13Z

Hey,

well made use of the assets. Looks neat and has a nice vibe. But I am not so much into search and clue Games. But nice entry for the jam!

Decades And Dragons by Ein 2024-04-17T17:43:53Z

Hey, neat Game you made there. But its a rather far stretch on the theme and the mechanic and loop was not so fun for me. But it is really well crafted and super polished. So great work there.

Decades And Dragons by Ein 2024-04-17T20:30:06Z

@erlioniel Yeah. I mean its well made with all the little fun details and the story. But the gameplay itself was super unexciting to me. I already dislike scheduling in real life. 😂 And the stretch was for me, that you could strip the theme and nothing would change about the game. But doesnt matter, its about fun. And you clearly had it, making it. And obviously others have it too playing it. 🙃 Was not my intention to come across super negativ. Have a nice time playing all the nice games here!

The First of the End by Flokami 2024-04-16T20:46:24Z

Neat Game, With a cool idea. But the keyboard movement does not work so well. Mouse or Controler Movement would be nicer. Casting with key combinations is cool. The look is also quite nice. And the chosen Font is very good. :P Some sound would have been nice. I think with gamepad or mouse and faster enemies and movement this would be really really cool fighting game. Nice Job!

Summoning Sun by Kamuniaft 2024-04-16T17:09:21Z

Haha, super cool entry. awesome Idea. Well polished excecuted. To me the length of the dance was a little on the edge. But great overall experience!!

Spawn Shop by Donamougou 2024-04-18T19:47:29Z

Hey. Cool Game. Nice freaky drawing and funny texts. Good Job!

The Generous Wizard by mariorod 2024-04-16T08:59:53Z

Hey there,

neat game. I like the graphic style and the idea. But I do not like, that you need to always look in the menu for the ingridients and that you only can carry 8 it seems. Mouse Controls would have been nice for this too. Also I run into a bug, where he got Stuck summoning by the lady that needs to be young again. He cant move around the circle as he runs into the lady and just stops.

Scrolls of Summoning: Paju's Adventure by toilari 2024-04-16T12:11:01Z

Hey, nice game you got there. The Graphics and Sound were really cool. I liked the intro and the summoning very much. The Battle whatsoever was not really my cup of tea. It was to long and slow. Also I did not felt the need for a real strategy, If you just had enough cards it basically did not matter. Nevertheless. Cool Entry.

Tiny Summoner by Dovodx 2024-04-16T20:25:38Z

Great Game. Had a ton of fun playing. Well polished. Super fast. Could be easily some of these addicting mobile games with a bit more content and polish.

Top Job!

Horizon Assault by Lélek Hunor Kadosa 2024-04-16T21:22:38Z

Cool Game. Liked that it had a tutorial and the mechanics are quite nice. It felt a bit off with the slow movement fast shooting on the towers. And it felt a bit buggy / unpolished at times. But the Art and effects were neat. Cool Entry!

Harod: The Eternal Summoning by KPidS 2024-04-16T17:53:11Z

Wow. Really nice game and a great idea. I liked it very much. The art is very well done. The music too. Everything is well polished. Shure its short but nevertheless for 3 days its awesome work!

Auto Summoner Hero by Idontgetit1 2024-04-16T12:25:44Z

Hey. Awesome game. I did something similar in another local jam. But it was multiplayer. So two player battling against each other. Hitting the right buttons.

Really well polished and worked great!

Revenge of Lord Chicken by Sergio_gp11 2024-04-24T17:35:40Z

Hey, cool short game with neat pixel graphics. The gameplay is there and it plays smooth. I think some scoring and nice animation at the end would have been super sweet. So you are more intrigued to try again and beat the score. (Can few eggs can die) and some nice fitting chicken sound and up beat music. (Or was it just me without sound?) Cool entry!

Liturgy of Darkness by Mindnumb Interactive 2024-04-24T18:07:32Z

Hey cool game. Nice sounds and cool graphics. The idea is neat and the gameplay itself really nice. But as other mentioned the difficulty curve is unfortunatly off. But nevertheless cool entry.

Voiceborne by Blues 2024-04-25T18:30:07Z

Super cool entry. The idea is really unique end everything is super polished. Of course it is very simple, but for three days great work. Definitly a concept that could be brought further. Felt super fun to just chant some rythmic stuff to summon folks. :)

Purgatory Pizza Protection Plan by SnowShino 2024-04-16T20:31:13Z

I am not shure whats up. But I could not play the game. The ui was messed up and I could not place towers. Could not move on the map. :(

The Old Summoner by litterattus 2024-04-18T20:27:17Z

Very Nice Game. The concept is great. Also it was not to easy and not to hard. Its a great base to build upon. Could become quite a cool full fledge game I think!

MizWizWiz by Mirtol 2024-04-16T21:07:09Z

Cool Game. It was a bit too unclear what to do exactly but it was fun though. A little to fast on the ghosts for my likeking.

God Wars by c0nscience 2024-04-16T21:42:48Z

Love the concept. And whats there works. But the content is super light, basically like one minute tops gameplay. But its a cool base with potential. :)

SUMMONERS WAR by Bollatix23500 2024-04-17T17:29:10Z

Very cool papa nacho game. Fun Idea and a challange. Its cool to have some little harder games between all the leasure easy to beat ones. :D

But to add it gets pretty easy if you start to spam one line and concentrate on that line and occasionally stop in the enemy in a second completly ignoring the third.

God's Apprentice by Kimday 2024-04-16T12:38:31Z

Cool Art. Nice Concept. Was really fun to play and try the different combinations. Great Job!

Three Realms TD by Redmori 2024-04-24T17:58:08Z

Hey, really cool game with a neat mechanic and twist on the genre. Liked the placement strategy. Sure it was a bit easy, but better to easy than to hard for a jam. Also the oldschool graphics were funny. With a little music it would have been even better. Cool Entry.

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-16T12:58:53Z

@larseemil Yes the Blood is bound to the overall difficulty and the color to the difficulty based on the runprogress. :)

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-16T21:01:54Z

@mads Hey, thanks. Yeah would have liked to add a tutorial and some more polishing in form of hit effects and sounds. The Particle Effekt is a bit heavy on the web version, probably some webgl issue. But its only on the loadup so we figured to let it as it is. :D Weird Bug. Played a lot never get it. Do you remember at what blood counts you were?

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-17T12:23:23Z

@mads Thanks. Dont sweat it. I guessed it was with the 1k demon. The scaling there is pretty wild and probably the webbuild cant handle the armysize anymore at one point. :D

@supportlik @jkazuk Could you elaborate on the balancing? At the moment in the beginning you need like 3 6er and two 16er contracts. Which is pretty easy to do, even with bad skilling. And it takes you like 1 to 3 minutes tops. It is pretty impossible to not get this amount until you run out of reputation. With the lesser demon you would get stuck before the 200+ blood contracts, if you skill not so well, but that means you can still easily reach 1k blood in a few minutes. Also here it is nearly impossible to not reach it before running out of reputation.

Does it take to long? Should the amount of blood be higher? Would be great to get some input for future implementations. Thank you. :)

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-17T18:22:44Z

@phoenixgaming Wasnt there a full screen button on the bottom right? Also F11 should work too. But nevertheless I made it bigger on the page. Thanks!

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-17T18:47:15Z

@scottal Cool you liked it! The scaling is a bit off in the late game and the web version does not handle it well. So probably you end up breaking the game, if you play a long time. But its a feat on its own. :D

You could basically skill however you like. Everything should work to get you to the last boy. The only important thing is to know you limit and focus on the doable blood gain battles.

Yeah I would have also loved some juicy sounds and hit animations. Different music tracks for the demons too. But I just added this one track 30 minutes before I uploaded and wrapped things up. :D

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-17T21:09:01Z

@supportlik Aaah. Yeah that makes sense. The blood in the contracts is directly coppled with the difficulty and with the first one you can basically only do up to the 16er contracts maybe 32 if you skill very well. And reaching lower contracts again after loosing should asure that you still earn blood to get the next demon. So you should feel like so weak not beating the little higher contracts, but than boom the next one feels way stronger beating them with ease. 😂 Its not intended to fight contracts on the level of your already collected blood. Hmm. Ok. Ill think about how to make it more clear what is possible or expected from the player to not get frustrated. Thanks for the input!

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-18T12:46:58Z

@the-neon-shark Yeah you definitly need to like that type of game, but thats the case with many genres esp. niche. I think the skillfull thing is to try and estimate in what upper range you can sign contracts. Whats the limit of the current form and how to get the needed blood with as less battles as possible. Also skilling stats plays a role. How effectiv stats are you only get with trying. In general you cant completly skill wrong but for example def is very good in the beginning. And later attack speed with agility. But for this short game it does not matter to much. The skill needed is also not to high here. :-)

@rubikon Hey, thanks you liked it! Yeah I guess this might be the case. Did a little update and tuned the max cubes down, hope that helps for future testers. :D But at some point I guess there will be deadlock between you and the army. The growth functions are not super balanced. Was the first time for me, but at least for the start it feels good. :D Yeah could possible become some full fledged mini game. Incremental Autobattler are a nice genre. :D

The Demon Cube by dekara 2024-04-19T15:09:31Z

@d34th0ftit4n5 @crashmusashi Thanks you two! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah the growth functions are far from perfect. But I was happy with the result for the start. Until the last demon and higher contracts they work nice and with the last demon you can get these ridiculous large numbers on the screen and super fast attack speed etc. But whats better than getting so overpowered you break the game. 😂

Demon Business by Dagunov 2024-04-16T09:14:56Z

Hey there,

really Cool Game! Love the mechanics. Well polished!

Unholy One by Rubikon 2024-04-17T19:05:43Z

Hey nice game. The Art is great and the sounds and music too. The Concept is neat, but the spells should have worked only with a combination of arrowkeys. I think that would be much better. The Balaning at the beginning is a bit of. you need to upgrade fast 2 points in the offense fast, but after that its easy and you can chill. :id: Nice Work Guys

The Summoner's Trial by Avaclava 2024-04-18T19:55:21Z

Really Cool Game. Very polished and consistent. The problem I had not nowing what the summons do. Some where clear others not. Also without protection against projectiles it gets really hard. :D Really good Job for the Jam.

The Summoned Struggle: Tales of a Tag-Along Demon by MartenJ 2024-04-17T17:57:58Z

Hey cool Game. Liked the visuals a lot and the concept. But it felt rather buggy and very unbalanced unfortunatly. Ranged seemed to be the only real option.

The Dank Sorceress by TheMaskedMan 2024-04-17T18:42:01Z

Awesome Games. Had much fun playing. Concept is cool and the art is really really nice. If the font and Textbox was more fitting it would be the cherry on the cake. Dam nice job for the 48h. With some better balancing and more content this could be a really cool full scale game.

The Dank Sorceress by TheMaskedMan 2024-04-17T19:31:44Z

@themaskedman Nono its cool. The style of the sorceress is really cool I would keep the style that way. Shure the enemies are a little bland in Contrast, but you only got 48h ours. 🙃

TAKE ME HOME by PlintusB 2024-04-16T20:55:49Z

Hey, great looking and sounding game with a nice game loop. The animations, mutants, illnesses were really well made. Cool entry guys. Also for me it was to slow for the repitivness and no feeling of reaching anything.

War of the Necrocaster by TomisGreen 2024-04-16T11:38:04Z

Hey. The game has a neat idea but I felt the excecution not too fun at the moment for me. It was a little buggy ui wise and too easy. The different Summons did not really had an impact. Could easily beat the game with only the first one. But I think its rather nice, promising concept. With a little bit better balancing, progression and polish it could be a really sweet game. :) Haha. That sounded rather negativ. Its still a really cool entry for a three day game jam. :)

War of the Necrocaster by TomisGreen 2024-04-16T17:36:14Z

@tomisgreen Hey. Yes I played through the whole game. Maybe my strategy was just right. Updating Mana Regen and mana and just pumping and updating the number 1 summon. :)

Cardmageddon by TheFruckets 2024-04-16T12:46:49Z

Hey cool game. More on the Concept side of things. But the concept is really cool. Awesome Anomations for the time period. And I liked to be some kind of mouse sized character. :D

Summoning Tower by Julian France 2024-04-25T18:51:07Z

Hey, nice entry. I like the mechanics and that everything is well implemented and feels very polished. The graphics are not so much my cup of tea, but the sound was really cool. Very cool entry for the 3 days of work!
