This game was absolutely amazing, you should be really proud of what you created! I took a lot of inspiration from it for the latest Ludum Dare. I love how the theme is just oozing from all over the game - the gameplay, the lore & the puns. Claustrophobia vs Agoraphobia, just brilliant! Also, the subtle cues as to how your player character look!
Smart and fun take on the theme! I had some good chuckles when doing terrible choices :D Would love to see some more connection between the events and story-wise consequences for choices
Absolutely beautiful! The art and music! Had to look at the walkthrough to solve the book, but got the hang of it once I understood to look closer at things.
This was incredible. Best and most innovative use of the theme! Cozy, nice grapics! Only thing that would make it more immersive would be to have the fingers places on the marker when you can make an anser, but that have massive ux implications :P
Such cozy atmosphere! Vibing to the music. Really impressive that you reached such a nice overall presentation in three days!
This is so incredible its nuts! I can't process how you turned this into actuality. Like I understand how this big a team is needed for such a high quality entry, but to deal with all the team management in 72 hours is impressive! Either you are already running a business together or you ought to be!
Like you could even walk up the stairs on one of the houses. Details are crazy!
This game has a crazy amount of stuff for being build in such a short time!
Beautiful little game but gets super hard! Is it statistically feasible to beat all 7 levels?
Yup, this is the best puzzle gameplay so far! Puzzle with a solid connection to summoning, I'm really impressed with the game design actually.
Agree with the previous point, a final level with all mechanics would be ace!
PS: I love the little sound the skulls do when they are in line of sight :D
I'll never forget you skelle-wifey! <3
I skimmed through the story, but was able to connect the culprit! Really nice atmosphere
Haha, this game was hilarious! An amazing amount of content in such a short time. Well done! Are frog facts a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference? :D
I really enjoyed this game! Fantastic effects!
I can't enter the green and blue levels. Are they not available yet?
Wow! Really cool gameplay! I kinda wish i had this as a little boardgame to play with a buddy on longhaul flights. Tight overall presentation even with how simplistic it all is.
This was a really nice submission! Drawing from life to enemy was a really interesting mechanic
Finally done! Who needs sleep anyway?
This has been my first Ludum Dare, please go easy on me if something is not up to standard. Have fun playing!
@Inkweeper Thanks for bringing that to light, what a legendary mindfart that was! Corrected it
@ooboob Oh, there's lots after that! :D Hmm, could be a bug you are seeing so please let me know if that's the case :) But the trick to level 3 is to lure Wrathmus up to the Top-right corner in order to pass into the open area.
@caz-creates-games Thanks for the heartwarming comments! Very fair feedback: - I regret some game design decisions. The idea was to make it a sweet mix between a Zelda like boss battle and a Sokobon puzzle game but I was able to come up with great staple mechanics for that in the heat of the jam. If I get to do another iteration I will probably clarify the collision and movement for the boss or rip out some of those mechanics altogether. - I'm most happy with the open levels which is kinda the opposite direction to Sokobon puzzle style :P
Keep at it, the ending should be worth it ;)
@andrewkennedy Wha, that comment sent me to warm fuzzy clouds, so heartwarming to hear! Your puzzle game stuck with me as one of the best entries so far also!
Wow, thanks for all the nice comments people, I'm getting a bit overwhelmed here :sweat_smile:
@wilsk The armored piece can only be attacked from behind. I get from a lot of responses that it is a bit unclear everything :P Maybe I should make a full playthrough recording so you can see the ending if you lose patience.
I have now recorded a video for everyone that got stuck but still want to watch the ending ;) Have fun watching or playing!
@nardandas Thanks for playing, I was so happy it could squeeze in at the end of the stream :) Very fair feedback. You are right, walking into the boss doesn't add any fun, it would maybe make sense if it was turn-based. Actually, maybe the puzzle direction would have worked much better if it was all turn-based.
@joeshanahan That was a blast watching :D I'm pretty sure now how the game can be massively improved :) Thanks for playing!
Woah, this was really good! Nice animations and graphics! I wish there were some moments where you can catch your breath, like if the monsters could target your mobs also
Really innovative to use the microphone! :O
Team air-summoning here! This was a really cool take on summoning and nice art and feel
Omg, the characters are so cute! Are they yours or generated. I'm guessing yours since they have such consistent style, really great work in that case! Fun that you got a random character from a bunch, makes it much more rewarding to win in a way. Team Rose Buzz here!
Steep learning curve but this is a really cool game concept. It has a lot of potential! World have been great if in the first level you just reach a target position, second is attacking target practices and so on.
Oh and maybe hardware would be purchased from loot rewards
The presentation feels super tight, it could be shipped in this state
I love exploring combinations like this! I'd have loved to see some kind of payoff for discovering certain combinations. Nice graphics!
Really clever gameplay and cute style!
Haha! Love the fact that when crouching it turns into a regular cat :D I beat the boss to the right. Then i got through the dark area to the left but fell inside of the ground. Then i fell into the void at the bottom of the map. I had fun however!
This was great! I love to see another game with the same idea of building and summoning a boss and what you did with that idea :D
Nice work on this game!
Wow! I was not prepared for how deep the puzzle mechanic was gonna get! I just know there's gotta be an optimal strategy to summoning.
It's not possible to ascend-merge the green pig right? If you tell me it is I will stay awake all night matching in my head
Nice to see a full on 3rd person game, when it is in Ludum Dare 3d it is almost always locked camera!
Chess with summoning as a twist is friggin brilliant!
Ooooh, really nice atmosphere on this one!
I know a bit of finish so I recognized some words :)
Egészségedre!
Hyvä peli!
Writing here, so I can remember it when I have access to my VR station :D
Very nice game! The spacing of the features were really well paced, it wasn't overwhelming but you constantly had something new to explore. Attack feature could use some more consistency, I wasn't sure what my hit area was or if i could take damage myself when attacking. But overall very polished!
Best game i tried so far, you did great!
Haha, this is such a clever idea on the theme! Fanthastic execution also
Stunning graphics! Maintaining a drill machine is a great idea, the gameplay is a bit slow and repetitive though. Would be nice with some stress and time limit!
Holy bait! You managed to get in a BOSS BATTLE! This feels very complete, well done!
This is about as good as it can possibly get for graphics, mood and audio in a three day jam. I was sucked right back to childhood game memories with this one. Incredible, you should be proud!
This was really good! I had two funny things happen to me: First i won the game at precisely 0 life and energy. Another run I lost both of my attack power and became defenceless :P
This was beautiful. Smart to have seeking deeper into introspection as a reference to the theme!
Finally another puzzle game! ;D It was nice, but the resolution was off so larger levels were not fully visible, just a heads up. I would love to complete it so let me know if you make a bugfix!
@chris-covert Thanks for the heads up! I removed it so the itch link is more highlighed.
@oliver-day The presents have to all be collected to complete the level
@dxk2294 Thanks! Yeah, there are some hacks possible if you walk towards infinity and back. I wasn't able to simulate a actually endless world. I tried by mistake and my computer froze :P Did you make it to the end? @oliver-day Ah, I saw the edited post. It's not supposed to be like that actually, it's a classic case of running out of dev time :P
Fun to see another team that thought of Hilbert's Hotel! <3 Brilliant as a theme for an endless runner style game :smile: Well done on the execution!
So smart mechanics and beautifully executed!
Very very clever twist on tetris!
Impressive work guys! I got to the top of the tower where it thins out to platforms. I was out of items to continue there. Felt like i did sequence breaking the whole way since the items were so interchangeable. But it is nuts how much content you created in three days!
Very cool idea! The flat terrain made it a bit hard to see the structure. I think it would look sick if the levels had more of an organic geometry!
This was really fun once i got the hang of it!
Here is my record :D

@sinemual Even higher, haha! I think this is maximum possible though.

Loved the creepy vibe!
Very neat game, it feels really polished! I'm curious what the extra planned content would be? It felt like there could be lots of more challenging unfolding-game like features added on top of this! Escalating costs but upgrades to mitigate that.
The suspense! Incredible how much the game had me on the edge of the chair!
@mdotedot @tolviere Thanks for playing guys! Well, I can stop worrying about the game being too short. The little guy wants you to build something if that's a useful hint :)
@strainer @tenthousandfireants Thanks! <3
@liam @nathmate I added the solution in the description, hopefully that helps :) Thanks for the feedback!
Holy sawtooth, if this is not the perfect game for this theme, I don't know what is! Ingenious!
Cool ending twist! Very nice atmosphere and use of theme! The timing was super hard and frustrating though...
You nailed a unique style really well! It played really well but I would make the level much more distilled. If there is a win-screen i did nearly reach it :P
I'm stuck on the third level for now... However, this is incredible. And its a COMPO game!? Impressive polish level!
Very cool idea and mechanic!
