LD55 — Summoning

Burnout Purgatory by Samuli 2024-04-16T13:43:52Z

Probably the best execution I've seen so far of the "Summon people to do stuff for you" games. The art is incredible and the gameplay loop is satisfying.

The only thing that took me a while to get was which icon corresponded to which job (And I'm still not sure about some of them haha) Having the icons be next to the names on the bottom right would have helped a lot.

This is incredible, and the fact that you made it without an engine makes it even crazier! Really brought me back to playing point and click puzzle/adventure games as a kid. Absolutely on point for the theme, and a wonderful experience all around.

The fact that this was made in a custom engine is super impressive! The game was a lot of fun as well, and I loved the art!

It would have been cool for enemies to have an indicator for how strong they are (Outline, number, colors, whatever), but I figured it out pretty quickly. I would have also liked to have more enemies per wave (And maybe stronger variants of the same enemy?) as I finished the game with around $1200, and never really had an issue managing money.

It was a lot of fun! I always appreciate a good co-op game! It was spooky, and the puzzles felt well thought out with a good amount of variety!

Really fun! The music was great and really helped build the tension haha. I wish there were more levels!

SUMMON THE COLOSSUS by aerloth 2024-04-16T23:24:56Z

Great game! I'm a sucker for atmospheric puzzle games, so I really enjoyed my time with this one!

My favourite level was easily the 3rd one (The one with the levers, I did them out of order so I may be mixing them up!). I wasn't a huge fan of the first two levels where you essentially just try to walk to the end, but I was intrigued enough by the premise of summoning whatever the heck I was summoning to power through it.

I do feel like the summoning theme was used very loosely here. I didn't really understand how my actions were directly contributing to the summoning of the colossus, and I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to actually see it at the end. The theme almost felt like an after thought.

All in all, I'd love to actually see more of this! I feel like there's an interesting story to tell here, and I hope you have plans to continue with the project past the jam!

@satolas Oh? At the end I got on an elevator and just saw the credits roll. I must have not have been paying attention! Sorry about that! I might play it again later to actually see it haha!

Absolutely adorable!! The voice acting was a nice touch too!

Maybe if I play enough, I'll be able to afford a house some day :')

Awesome game, I love it haha! Hope to see you guys again at the next jam!
