The controls are really difficult but the game is pretty good :p

Stuck at about 90% too :/

CATCH THE PHONE! by Golin 2022-04-07T09:50:49Z

@golin thanks :) very funny I like the idea

Embers by andrewkennedy 2022-04-20T17:17:57Z

Nice little game :) good dialog

It Burns by TescoOne 2022-04-06T17:58:50Z

Very nice idea, I don't know if it's normal but there is no sound.

Cool, iI love Wario War so it is really a funny game for me ^^

Your end is... Cat? by nicknameriu 2022-04-06T18:19:23Z

Nice, I like the idea with the music ^^

Snailatouille by PeytonBrown 2022-04-06T20:23:36Z

Really cool :) my first try was a bit difficult but after some die and retry the mechanics were quite clear ^^

Kessler by jcg 2022-04-06T18:53:05Z

Interesting mechanism but it took me a while to fully understand how to play. Maybe add some tips or tuto?

LD53 — Delivery

FedUp by jward 2023-05-19T10:45:30Z

A great idea, a nice game! Just missing some sound effects and music.

Alien Postal Service by Corrupt Spaghetti 2023-05-19T10:37:36Z

Intresting but the controls are clunky. Just lacks a bit of polish !

Pizza Delivery by Codexzier 2023-05-19T10:41:35Z

I like the arts of the game !

Here's ur Package by sansen 2023-05-19T10:48:28Z

The game is good, the graphics are great, it just needs a little polishing (some bugs and slowdowns sometimes).

Totally Silly Forklift Simulator by garnold02 2023-05-19T10:51:08Z

Nice but the camera is too fast for me, the arts are really impressive, it lacks a bit of sound effects and music but it's a good entry.

LD55 — Summoning

Beckoned to Battle by firellon 2024-04-17T19:01:28Z

This game needs more votes! I really like the gameplay, the graphics are nice but I don't feel the link with the theme :/ otherwise well done :)

Summonere by Ace17 2024-04-17T18:25:59Z

I can't play it because I'm on macOS, but: using a custom engine is very challenging for a (compo) jam! Well done

Unsummoning Dark Creatures by angry-cyboot 2024-04-16T05:45:18Z

Nice use of the theme. Perhaps an arrow to show where the mecha is would be nice, otherwise well done the team.

Devotion - A fairytale by daandruff 2024-04-27T10:35:01Z

Nice little experience, the mood is very cool :) well done

Unholy Sanctum by elemel 2024-04-18T16:57:55Z

Good idea, I think the game can be faster :) well done !

Diago - A Ludum Dare 55 Gmae by givit-game-studios 2024-04-18T06:44:42Z

Nice game, maybe a gameover scene would be nice, sometimes when the game starts there are a lot of enemies and it's complicated to understand what's going on ^^' and I can't find the link with the theme :/ The art is very nice and I like the camera shake, well done.

Turret Queen by leparlon 2024-05-01T18:49:29Z

Game well polished, I not sure to understand the diferences between powerups, otherwise good game :)

Summoning Instructions by Yxure 2024-04-15T20:56:23Z

Nice work, especially since it's done by just one person! Well done, the theme matches well.

Clone fest by Tori 2024-04-17T18:38:36Z

I ran into a few glitches but the idea of the game is very nice :) I like the trumpeter clone :3

The Great Witch by lectvs 2024-04-18T17:44:12Z

I really appreciate this game, fun, arts art cool music too well done :)

Dark Roast Cafè by outstar 2024-04-22T19:37:48Z

A very good game :) maybe more decoration would be nice! I've experienced a bug, if you buy a decoration but don't have any space left, you're stuck with the table ^^' the ars and sound are very good, I like this game

Hellcaster by p-r 2024-04-19T20:03:11Z

Quite complicate to understand the game, this game some time to be "mastered", good sound and original way to use the the well done

Tristram by Rongo Matane 2024-04-27T11:17:17Z

Very solid entry ! Maybe more control of team composition, or equipment (etc.) will be great. But for a game jam, it is a very solid game very well polished, one of the best game of the jam played so far well done !

Purrfect Stack by JPiolho 2024-04-18T17:02:03Z

The only problem for me is the size of the game which is very small, it could be bigger, otherwise, the sound, the art, the concept is very solid, well done!

C.R.T. - Companion Recall Technology by AffinityChris 2024-04-16T17:44:55Z

The game is really well polished, the graphics are good :) a bit complicated at times. The game doesn't really fit the theme for me but it's good :p

Riot in Hell by tthe 2024-04-17T17:05:28Z

The game is really cool and well finished. I don't know if it's normal but the game has no sound, so the purpose of the game isn't really clear to me. Maybe the game needs a tutorial. This game has a lot of potential :)

Nose Deep In A Book by Yorsh 2024-04-16T17:07:19Z

Very nice game, well polished, one person ho wow. A bit confusing at first. The gameplay is really original and fits well with the theme, well done!!

Kitty Conjurer by Tyler Slabinski 2024-04-16T16:55:20Z

Ho wow I like the arts and the gameplay is really good :) nice of the theme, well polished, well done!

Polarity by Avi 2024-04-19T20:12:11Z

The arts and the music are very cool, the game is a bit hard far from the theme I think but this is a good entry :) well done

Dungeon Evoker by VPhyre 2024-04-20T07:33:53Z

The game is enjoyable :) My only issue revolved around the key bindings; they didn't feel quite "natural" to me. Using ZXC and NM felt a bit off, perhaps utilizing QWE and IOP across 6 rows would have been better, but I'm not entirely sure.

Nevertheless, artwork, gameplay, and music — all very cool!

(Also, I'm using an AZERTY keyboard, but I can easily adapt to find the corresponding keys.)

The Demon Ate My Homework by very dark lord 2024-04-16T19:01:19Z

A very fun entry, one of the best game I play until now ^^' well done

The Summoner's Apprentice by magus77 2024-04-17T17:30:17Z

Very nice entrance, the sound of footsteps is too loud, but the game logic is clear and fits the theme well.

Demon Sealer by OwlyCode 2024-04-18T17:36:27Z

Nice game I like the sound and the gameplay not so close to the theme for me but nice entry :) well done!

Salmoning by kuviman 2024-04-27T10:40:45Z

FUn little game, cars are little bit bugged but the game is great otherwise ^^

Penguinology by Smidgens 2024-04-18T17:16:42Z

Heee hooo ok intresting experience ^^ funny (very) little game :)

Claws and Conundrums by LocksmithArmy 2024-04-16T16:51:11Z

Original use of the theme, 3D jam games seem complicated to me, so well done. The atmosphere is really nice. A bit problematic to interact with my touch pad ^^' but it is ok :)

Photographic Memory by Adam Konig 2024-04-15T21:08:50Z

A unique way to use the theme, well done :)

Ramen: Beyond Two Balls by Emty 2024-04-17T18:01:35Z

I can't try it because I have macOS but I like 3D art and the mood of the presentation ^^ and it's made with Unreal Engine, relatively uncommon and not easy (in my opinion) in game jam so well done!

Decades And Dragons by Ein 2024-04-27T10:26:01Z

Very neat game, lots of little interactions, I wasted a lot of time interacting with the dice ^^' game not so easy :p

Shoot The Furniture! featuring S.K. Eleton by Skleembof 2024-04-18T17:48:18Z

Visual seems good but I can't play it, I'm on macOS :/

Summoning Sun by Kamuniaft 2024-04-23T19:19:38Z

heuuuuuu I think I broke the game ^^' otherwise really unique game :) mood is great jeu.png

Summoning Guidebook by Sariiger 2024-04-27T09:52:50Z

I was confused at first, but after a while I discovered a great little game :)

SUMMON THE COLOSSUS by aerloth 2024-04-17T17:47:31Z

A very good game, the atmosphere and ambiance are excellent, a bit of trouble opening the first door ^^' a few glitches but very good game for my 3 days :) the sound and graphics are incredible!

Sumémon: Number Nimrods by SlavTurtle 2024-04-16T17:00:14Z

Confusing at first, but fun. The first page is too busy, I think the tutorial could be more fluid. I don't feel the link with the theme. Nice game, well done :)

Sumémon: Number Nimrods by SlavTurtle 2024-04-17T05:39:25Z

Ho ok creative way to use the theme, I will change my vote :3

Invocation by FullSaphir 2024-04-22T18:59:57Z

Cool idea, quite hard some time, music and arts are great, good job :)

Summon Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by Roman Dubrovin 2024-04-23T19:32:17Z

heuuuuu mmmmh hhooooo ok intresting game ^^'

Horizon Assault by Lélek Hunor Kadosa 2024-04-19T20:08:03Z

I'm sad that there is no web export :/ I can't play it, I'm on macOS. it seems to be a well polished game in terme of mechanics

The Unlikely Messenger by T90. 2024-04-17T19:13:26Z

The credit page can be stopped? a lot of work on the lore and the chara design well done. The link with the theme is far for me :/

OverSummoned by Adam Probert 2024-04-16T17:53:41Z

HTML 5 works for me :) the art is good and the game fits the theme, the gameplay is a bit repetitive but it's fun to summon random creatures :) well done

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-16T06:14:59Z

@locksmitharmy thank you :)

@gametrodon I checked again this morning and everything works :/ maybe you forgot to collect the creatures on the pentagram (click and drag and drop on the pentagram), they must be there to be transmuted.

@slavturtle thanks, the music changes when the candle is at less than 50% and yes the game is designed to be fast and a bit stressful :p there are 4 items, one for each basic creature and one for the candle.

@yorsh we know we've got a lot of ideas but we've focused on a fully functional main gameplay loop first, to have a complete little game that's as polished as possible.

@drgcandle thanks a lot :) that's really nice to hear :) and yes it was a lot of work ^^’

I'll review your game, but now it's time to go to work :p Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^'.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-17T06:02:10Z

@macibacsi56 thanks :)

@emty thanks :) indeed, the days were very tiring but we're pleased with the results (we have a lot of unimplemented ideas :/)

@eklbirifine haha thanks, yes Sonic was a placeholder ^^' ok I hope this little problem was quickly replaced by fun :3

@falien thanks :)

@kirass thanks :)

@gnum thanks :)

@satolas thanks :) in fact the number of summoned creatures affects the speed factor of the candle (and only the number not the type). And at the end, the demon gives 1000points and acts as a candle item.

I’ll review your game, but now it’s time to go to work :p Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^’.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-17T20:17:29Z

@givit-game-studios how ok :/ the game is not tested on Firefox or other web browser. the game must be run on a Chrome-derived browser like Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave… also works on Safari (but can be closed suddenly due to excessive memory usage). I glad that you like it finally :)

@pabloabraham thanks :) I glad that you like it

@derllie thanks :)

@troggzor56 thanks :) ho ok I'm sorry :/

@ru-mey thanks :)

@sampai I glad that you like it

@aracana thanks, the game was designed to be fast and a bit stressful :p maybe too much ^^'.

@smidgens thanks :)

@labcatgames ho ok thanks for your comments, I'm not sure I understand your point exactly but I'll figure it out. I checked the hitbox and indeed some are smaller than the item. You're right, the hitbox can be the same for each item and correspond to the slot :/

@iwant-pizza sorry for that :/, I need more details: the game must be run on a Chrome-derived browser like Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave… also works on Safari (but can be closed suddenly due to excessive memory usage). Not tested on Firefox or other web browser. The game works on some smartphone browsers but the game is not designed for, if it works, don’t forget to disable the tutorial :/ (impossible to press enter ^^’)

@makse I glad you like it :)

@lectvs glad to hear it :) yes I understand that the first try can be complicated ^^'

@lehmy haha yes indeed, I'm glad you like it

@skleembof ho ok the tutorial must be more specific sorry for that :/ In fact there is no limit of invocation but, the speed factor of the candle is related to the number of invocations (and only the number). The balance of the game can be improved indeed :) I'm glad you like it finally :)

I’ll review your game, but now it’s time to go to sleep :p Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^’.

mousespider.png

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-17T20:27:11Z

@iwant-pizza I'm not sure it's the best browser for that :/. Also the LD export is not working, works only on itch.io

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-19T07:04:27Z

@klemen I understand, our goal was to create a game and all assets by hand. The style is highly inspired by the film Coco (Disney). I'm glad you finally like it.

@p-r Thanks, yes, the game is more complicated than it seems. :P

@lelek-hunor-kadosa Thanks. :)

@avi I'm very glad to hear that. Thank you!

@rubikon Thanks. :)

@josang1567 Thanks. :)

@algis-khasanov The creature must be on the pentagram to be transmuted and to obtain points (it is explained in the tutorial).

@nicekot Thank you. Yes, that was the idea in this game: a lot of micro gestion, a little bit stressful, and fast gameplay.

@thegreatcarpet I understand. Even if there is a tutorial, this is the kind of game that you need to play once to catch the idea. Parties are not so long, so it's okay, I guess. :P

I’ll review your game, but now it’s time to go to work :p Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^’.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-20T07:58:45Z

Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^’.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-22T17:11:40Z

@fullsaphir thank you :)

@lamp-p yep we have lots of ideas, but we focus on a small number of well implemented features rather than a large number of bugs :p

@eric-nguyen ahah thank you :)

I’ll review your game later. Have a nice day or night, depending on your time zone ^^’.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-23T18:26:47Z

@jamesw thank you :) We tried to keep a small set of feature well implemented

@naplz98 thanks ^^ it's a fiesta in the graveyard :p

mousecat.png + spidercat.png + spidermouse.png = demon.png

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-25T19:16:43Z

@tomas-strmen thanks :) yes the game is designed to be a bit stressful with lots of micromanagement.

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-27T09:36:55Z

@wildcodeplay thanks :) I understand, actually we have a lot of unimplemented features because we focused on a small set of well implemented features :)

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-05-01T18:52:31Z

@leparlon Thank you :)

Dr. Kappasigma's Summoning Training by Crygos 2024-04-18T17:46:58Z

Inovative way to use the theme, nice little game :)

Siela by Gnum_ 2024-04-17T17:36:40Z

I really like the low poly style, the controls are a bit heavy, and the jumping mechanic seems useless... the theme is a bit of a missed for me. The mood is great, good job :)

Imagining Dragons by Falk Hoeppner 2024-04-22T19:16:11Z

Nice game not so easy ^^' I really like it :)

Paralax, Cats and 22 snacks by Lamp_p 2024-04-22T19:05:32Z

Relaxing game, with good vibes :3 I like the arts and the music well done !

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-26T17:58:27Z

The style is very nice, but the rules of the game aren't very clear to me.

Nice concept, but not easy in AZERTY :/ the keyboard binding is in QWERTY. Well polished, nice concept, good game :)

Soul Pact by SesMiRe 2024-04-19T19:55:22Z

It seems to be a very bearutifull game, but unfortunatly I can't run it :/ I'm on macOS

Plaguebringers by zablas 2024-04-19T21:03:58Z

The art looks great but unfortunately I can't run it on macOS :/

Arts are very cool and the concept is simple but effective well done

Slaymore by Joshua Miller-Pio 2024-04-27T09:41:29Z

I like GB's graphics, the cursor is very big on my browser and the sound of the jumps is very loud :/ otherwise it's a very good game :) bravo!

Angel Vox by Iwant_Pizza 2024-04-18T17:30:05Z

Intresting experience, some bugs but cool game :)

Fun idea ^^ the only problem for me is the keyboard binding :/ I'm using AZERTY but key still in QWERTY, good game otherwise :)

Vamper by FlamingRat 2024-04-16T17:27:45Z

The AI is a bit buggy but the game is nice, great potential :) the game matches the theme

Burger Ritual by meylish 2024-04-18T17:33:58Z

Verry funny it was one of our idea during the brainstormong ^^' the game is clean well done, but cropped :/ I was impossible to see the bottom of the game :/

Blood Rite by LetsSnack 2024-04-27T10:11:28Z

Very good game, I like it a lot :) small bug, you can summon outside the map :/ and sometimes you start a game with an enemy close to you, it's unfair ^^'. Otherwise very good game !

Courier for Conjure by dotiocat 2024-04-16T17:19:41Z

Nice little game, I like that the tutorial is integrated into the game like that. The art is really nice. Well done, a solid game especially for one person!

Lil Lads Hit the Notes (Or fall into lava and they don't want that) by Josion 2024-04-17T18:30:57Z

I really like pico8 and made a game for the jam a few years ago. I like the overall vibe :) but I don't feel the connection with the theme :/

Consume the Countryside by labcatgames 2024-04-18T17:22:41Z

Original game not so chalenging ^^'

Les assets graphiques, les FX et la musique sont vraiment bons, le jeu est vraiment bien poli, c'est vraiment une super proposition, mon seul bémol c'est que je trouve le thème assez éloigné mais pas complètement hors propos. Voilà :) vraiment bien joué !

The graphical assets, FX and music are really good, the game is really well polished, it's really a great proposition, my only downside is that I find the theme quite distant but not completely irrelevant. Voilà :) really well done!
