It was fun once I understood that I’m always looking forward and not rotation, but making a step to the side. Maybe some light movement animation would help understanding that. Level 3 was trickyyyyy, no spoilers! Great job
I can't play it and rate it because I own Mac, but the screenshot is GOLD. I was looking for a submission like this.
This is so funny! And also finally FINALLY a game about baby delivery, I was searching for one! Great job. I missed the first few babies because I was paying attention to the birds. If the controls weren't written on them but maybe on pipes it would be easier to understand. But after I figured it out it was fun.
Omg i though i am a good driver! Loved the game, the GTA-feeling of a mess, even the art of the person you are picking up!
Would love some development to this, especially where to spend money that you earn (upgrades, insurance, accidents) to create more stress, because the rampage is fun but unpunished now )
First of all, thanks for a Mac build. It's rare to have one, and as a Mac owner I feel left out and I cannot play most of the games that are published. I appreciate it a lot. Second, your game made me emotional. It would probably be not correct to call it a game because there is barely interaction, it's more a personal experience. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Great atmosphere with calm medieval music and beautiful art. Font is a bit hard to read but I understand the choice. Great intro. Also CATS yes please.
During gameplay I would love to have the hints for what I should be cooking on the screen somewhere so I can refer it all the time, not just waiting for the dialog (great example is mobile game “Good Pizza, Great Pizza”). The rune part is not completely ready, right? I didn’t have a reason to use it. Also “stir with your mouse” was confusing. Do I need to click? Just move around? Hover?
Solving some controls/user experience issues will bring this beautiful game to the next level!
I absolutely loved the game! You balanced well the stress and the increasing amount of orders. The watercolor art is very sweet. I kept re-playing it several times! Few notes from user experience if you will decide to make more iterations. (1) It took me time to figure out the controls, since the description was in one place but the selection on the board was in another. Maybe a small first move tutorial would help. But once I figured it out it was soooo fun! (2) It took me time also to figure out that if the order is asking for, say, 5 sushi, I cannot give 6 and have one back. It makes the game more difficult but less intuitive.
Other than this great job and good luck!
Woww this is hilarious! Controls are pretty easy, music and sound is keeping the mood, art is simple fun and clear. Great job! I would love to have a marker on who I am controlling right now, dragon or firefighter, but other than that I enjoyed immensely. And maybe keep controls/flow hint somewhere on the screen as I missed the bowl part and actually tried to carry an egg on the dragons head hahahahah
@jackaljk it definitely showed me the bowl tutorial but I missed it, I was paying attention to something else (holding the egg with my head maybe? haha)
It was beautiful but sooooooo hard! I understand that you need to throw the potion and then get there and then throw again, but it was a matter of pressing three different buttons to throw it correctly. As a suggestion you could aim with mousse and then throw to be more precise to complete the game instead of fighting the controls. Other than this great submission!
Wow an actual voiceover! And some custom rap songs, sick! It was hard to text (or read the messages) and drive, so it took me some time to figure out and not to bump into holes and other cars, but eventually I managed! It was fun experience, great submission
This is so smart! Once I player a similar game on the phone in the night, it’s such a perfect calm experience. The beginning with the hints was perfect, but once I reached the girl I got lost and was going in circles, sometimes hearing her singing when she was there. Her hints would help a lot. Other than this great submission!
First of all, I want to thank you for the Mac build. As a Mac owner I cannot easily play and rate most of the games here, as they are built for Win desktop. Kudos for that! Second, I enjoyed the simplicity of it! I would probably change the scanner to a portable one so you don’t need to bring the box to it every time, because the idea of the game is about being attentive, feels close to “Papers, Please!” game. Anyway I had a heart attack on level 3 until I figures out how to solve it )) Great submission!
I got excited by the description and I am really trying to launch it from itch.io but it keeps crashing in my Chrome :(
Loved the idea, the concept is beauuuuutifulll. Very smart and with a good humor. Pretend, put a mask and deliver whatever society is expecting form you! Sick :) However, I found it very difficult to control the small pawn, especially when the time limit starts, it seems impossible to make any face in time at this game. Probably a regular mouse click on the buttons would work better, it will focus on actually delivering the face and not trying to jump from one platform to another. Also one of the sounds was very loud and scared my cat :(
Wow, simple yet addictive. I really enjoyed how the game goals were clear without any explanations (I had to take a peek at controls in the description though). Every next delivery was a bit farther making it harder to navigate through the obstacles. Sound was also completing the game. Very strong submission, great job!
Once you figure out the game it’s fun! A mix of strategy AND building a sled AND random events AND impactful decision making. Concept-wise it’s probably one of the best game I’ve rated today. I would buy and play this game if fully developed. Great job.
Right now however it’s very raw. It took me time to figure out the “buy dog” part. The art could be clearer, even some AI generated stuff would make the experience so much better. Nothing some love can't fix.
Damn, what a hilarious game! Art is beautiful, animations and sound give a vibe of a clubbing night. I enjoyed putting on a hat of a drug dealer. I wouldn't change a thing. Amazing submission, great job.
Well-made platformer! The levels are very smart, increasing difficulty and length. Sound and looks match the retro feeling. Great job on a solid sumbission!
I am missing the counter of all the letters on the level - for those "I collected 100% of letters" internal achievement. Also didn't figure out wha the radish (?) does, cannot pick it up
I love the art on the screenshots but the webgl game on itch.io crushes on me and I use Mac so I cannot launch .exe files (
I can relate to the topic so much! Nice fun game. Music makes it more fast paced. I didn’t feel like the upgrades make much difference though. It also felt that the employees from the center bottom table row are getting stressed the most. Also it felt a bit easy to me, I would love to have more challenge building up faster
Did I succeed to get even one box? No! Did I have fun? Oh definitely!
What an unforgiving game! I created a mess in the storage, the product were flying all over the place, not of the packages got delivered, and I enjoyed it a lot :)
Loved the instructions on the walls, it was helping a lot. Only one above table probably should say something like "put ordered products and box here to assemble" or sth like this
404 for the game and also it's not in english so cannot play it
@ceruleanblood Damn, I didn't think it was possible! Thanks for playing!
@daniillenin Haha, glad you experienced it as planned :)
@mateu Thanks! Your suggestions are smart and reasonable! Having a countdown is probably the most needed thing for this demo.
@drapfelwurst Just as stressful and being laid off without any savings haha
@blueanoli Thanks for the feedback! MJ saved me here a lot. However if I would go full production, AI won't be able to replace the artists yet )
@frelude Thanks! I agree with you that sound would add a lot! Maybe I will have a chance to update it.
@bartalomew Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed!
@jackaljk Now that you say it, I can see that the pickup could be more sensitive. Thanks for the feedback!
@hobbito89 Yeah, it’s very close to Traveling Salesman Problem but I didn’t want to make it too math-y. I am glad you recognized it )
@omrilahav Thank you!
@makerart Music to my ears! I cared about player’s experience. Thanks for the praise!
@dahliainosensu Thank you <3
@bartekde Thanks! Definitely more levels would do good to it :)
@wadlo Than you for your input! I agree that driving around the city would be so much more fun! And I was considering it from the beginning. But I didn’t have the skills enough to implement this mechanics in such a short time, so I went for a simple but good experience.
@jordan-p20 Thanks! Did you expect keyboard controls? because this what I see in most submissions
@grizeldi thank you! I plan to update the game in the next weeks and add sound as well.
@smdaniels Thanks! I agree that gameplay is repetetive right now, that’s my ability limit at this point ) Next jam definitely better!
@glove Thanks! It’s an very interesting idea on diversifying the gameplay, didn’t think of that!
@jdeedubs Thank you for the kind words!
@tetrapteryx Thanks! I think i will try to learn how to make that in between the jams so I come prepared next time )
@kristallllllik Thanks!!
@tsumry Thanks, I am happy you enjoyed the demo )
@aune Haha, well fooled! I started with trying to generate the map and looked at the styles MJ provided, I got something like 20 options (5 prompts). After I chose the one that I liked I prompted MJ to generate the rest of the art based on the style of the chosen map. It took me around 3h in total through all these 3 days to find the style, generate all the assets and cut and clean them in Photoshop where needed. Hope this helps!
First of all you are amazing. I never though one can make a game on the phone and you proved that it's possible. Second, the game is so simple and FUN! You also proved fun doesn't require complexity. Would love to see more levels to this. Good luck!
Very nice. Rune 3 (Ko) and 6 (Bo) were empty for me, i had to doodle over all rune to pass it. Some time or precision constrains can make the game more exciting. Good luck with your submission!
Unfortunately getting following error when trying to play web
Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
Unfortunately, none of the embedded web versions work
Oh I loved the concept! It was a bit hard for me to figure out how to scroll up and down, if it was all happening on the same screen it would remove frustration. Other than this great submission, good luck!
Love the new take on the idea. Some levels were challenging - I would appreciate an undo button so I can move the piece i accidentally stuck in the corner. Good job, good luck!
Nice game, interesting concept, reeeeeallly lacks description and tutorial. Going through portal with "Ctlr"? what are the signs? The idea is super interesting, with removing a bit of frustration it works good! Good luck
I abrolutely love it, the idea, the art, the music. Agree here with @mdotedot that you could start with easier sets, but i understand the 48 hours constraint. Great job and good luck!
WHat a beautiful art! Cannot play the downloads but I admire the visuals from screenshots
This a smart gam design! The game is a bit hard to play because you have to control both of the portals and their directions which is not always clear. Maybe starting with one portal or som precision training would remove the frustrations. Other that this a very good submission! Good luck!
Oh i love it! Great idea, great execution. And it's hard! One thing that was confusing to me was the background moving, it would remove frusration if the character was moving around instead of the floor. Oher that this great job!
Really good job, interesting take on common mechanics. I couldn't pass level 3 (with the falling road), I'm so bad at it haha. Good luck with you great submission!
Love this new take. It was a quite hard to read the text and to understand which demon is selected on the board. But I enjoyed the game, good luck!
Very moody piece, great job! It was hard to control a bit and I was waiting for a break between the moves, but i got so into it! Great job with the submission and good luck!
This is a very cute puzzle with graphics that remind me that i'm old... Took me some time to figure out the gameplay, a step by step tutorial would be helpful. After that it was just my skills. Good levels, great job with submission and good luck!
Smart idea, nice gameplay. I would love to see some album with creatures and their summon materials, it takes a toll to remember them all haha. Good luck!
I kinda love it. It's fun to explore the shapes and figure out the summons. However I would choose only on - either exploring (which is more fun I think) or precision drawing. I would love to know who else I can summon but my hand hurts from drawing, maybe highlighting the parts of the pattern is an alternative. Anyway great submission and good luck!
I felt like my gamejam time didn't end and I still need to code hahaha. Very creative theme approach, great submission, good luck!
Wows, it's impressive submission for a 48 hours game jam! I dream to be on your level one day. Agree with @candlesan, a simple crosshair/pointer would remove a lot of frustration. Great job and good luck
Nice one! The music is good, a bit weird car steering, it could be a person running with the same movements. Would love some effect on zombie hit, since they are so dark and barely noticeable. Good luck with submission!
Hilarious and masterfully done! Reminded me papers please in a mean fun way. Very clear gameplay, fun levels, definitely in my top list for this jam
Absolutely love it. As previous people mentioned, tutorial is not very straightforward but it's easy to understand after the first round. I would prefer a pick and place card instead of one of 9 buttons, it would remove frustration for me. Other than this really great job and good luck!
What a lovely game! I loved the actual summoning ritual with waiting and bonuses, it was so smooth and interesting. I admit I burned everything while waiting, including the prisoner. Just note that the top of the game is cut in LD web embed, so while text is still readable, the second herb is almost not noticeable.
Randalf cleared the hordes and was a good cat. Thank you for the experience and good luck!
Nice art, good music, smooth controls. he widow in itch was very small and on LD the game didn't launch. But once I figured summoning it was fun! Great job and good luck!
@sobigdrasil This guy is a true brat!
@pupirka My absolute fav :)
@mrventures @timidger You guys are so right! I didn't add a lot of the features that I initially planned due to time and (mainly) skills constraint. Thanks for sharing. Also Baby Belle is pregnant :)
@bitluderrb7804fr Maybe treat it like a sign haha
@cibums A very thoughtful feedback, sir! The suggestions are very reasonable. Thank you!
@pe7e Thanks! I always forget that LD cuts the web view :( Thanks!
@worldofmush You are so right! I am not competing in visuals because it's just not fair. And you feedback is very on spot as well, it was in my todo list. There are 10 characters btw. Thanks for feedback!
@rpgwanderer Oh another idle clicker lover! <3 Hope you still enjoyed the game despite cut UI, and thanks for feedback!
@ooboob Thanks for mentioning! I didn't manage to launch it in FF, it was a problem for previous LD, so I assumed. Updated the description
@viniflores Oh, the pregnant lady heh
Wow that’s a lot of feedback overnight! Amazing to see your different fav summons <3
@arcolm @ascenial @wolderado @jcmonkey @afi-olya @jejkobb @olddog @elbbard @rob6566 Thanks for playing!
@mightyelf @dagon @elemel Sam is a popular creep I see!
@pincushion Glad I could surprise you! Thanks for playing and feedback
@ghettobastler OMG, the Naughty Claus? What memories if I dare to ask? hahaha
@harmadillo I am so glad to hear it! I hope you enjoyed and have your favorite :)
@gettingrekt Thanks for the feedback, you are so on point! Audio is my weakness, and this game is indeed deadly silent. Thanks for playing!
@paprigames @xuanqiuyun I think you two are the first who managed to summon a non-human! Thank you for your feedback
@ellaris Thanks for the feedback! Cut UI is a weird bug I see in a lot of web embedded games on LD. Hope you enjoyed anyway!
@dzejpi Oh hello fellow idle games fan! I’m so happy you enjoyed the game. And Flo would probably be opposed to any music that is younger than 70 year hahaah
@jiri-hysek Oh thanks for you feedback! I’m happy you enjoyed playing again and again!
@nash Appreciate you feedback and thanks for playing!
@fredrik-andersson I hate to disappoint, but the character base is AI, I worked on them more after generating but I’m not taking the credit here. I am glad you enjoyed!
@maggardjosh Haha, saved you time for sure! I treat game jams as a tool for concept proofs, but also I’m not skilled enough yet to make anything longer hahaaha. Thanks for playing!
@castitatis All good, he was just summoned, not for his sins for sure haha. Thank you!
@meepster @punniz @dywanix @aaron-hart @enver-arco @jnur @naplz98 @tranzit @duudel @cristian-gurra @bit-flipz @juggern4uti @lightningst @missingpixel @cmakota @flokami Thanks for playing and feedback! <3
@trogdor-20x6 @yorsh You are so right, audio would do good, but it’s my kryptonite, I will crack it one day… Thansk for your feedback!
@zekysky You got the only demon out of all summon options, congratulations! Haha. And characters are AI generated, with sometimes heavy post-processing but not enough to opt in for Visuals category. Thansk for playing!
@lcstark Thanks! I guess having an album of unlocked characters would help even more
Interesting take you have! It took me quite some time to understand I need to press Space bar to summon creatures, the button in the bottom didn't work. Good job, with a bit more polishing it can be an addictive game, good luck!
Ohhh, this is a sweet combination of yahtzee and vampire survival skills set! Easy to grasp, fun to play. Definitely one of my favorites so far! If I were picky then a hover on the gameplay dices with their info would be nice, as well as the calculation indications. Good luck!!

Would love to play it, looks like a Phoenix Wright style, but I coudn't get through the first "enter" popup, nothing is clickable there for me
Looks like a game I would love to play! Shame it's only Win downloadable
What a beautiful and smart game, one of my tops on this LD! Great job with the submission and good luck
@ghettobastler Yeah sorry I tried to delete the first comment, I didn't do a good job there :)
Haha, a funny and intense game! took me time to got into the rhythm and understanding when to summon, maybe a bit more clear explanation in the game would do good. Great job and good luck!
