The Great Witch by lectvs 2024-04-16T00:48:34Z
One of my favorites from LD55 so far. Fun upgrade choices, along with choosing whether to get oranges or crystals, good difficulty balance. Visuals and sounds were wonderful too.

Haven't seen this through to the end yet, but it's charming. Nice illustrations, music doesn't get old, and the writing put a smile on my face.
Arena with all slimes felt like just enough space, that was good.
A spinning attack would be cool to have in this as well!
There's something that I honestly like about the orientation of the keys not matching with the screen. Forces me to be careful. Ties my brain in a knot π Cute game.
Had a lot of fun with this. Made a stack trace on first attempt, went around doing all of the things to calm the ghosts before summoning any for a while, then on first summon got the crash.
Visuals and books remind me of King's Quest 3: love it! Having the different methods to calm the ghosts is a nice touch, and made for good variety.
The cats and ghosts are cute. I was imagining doing 1 rapid pet per key press, and picturing the witch scrambling to pet the cats very quickly was pretty funny :)
Ended up with a 120 score. Fun stuff. Having to remember to click on the books sometimes to bring the cursor focus in was challenging to remember, but that just forced me to pay close attention which was fine.

If y'all beat these end game stats let me know:
- Completion Time: 734.3998 - Summons: 36 - Satan's Keep: 2304131924.29
@vessalius Yes! Transitions back to hell could be sped up across the board, and/or offered as an upgrade to buy. Thanks for the suggestion!
@eonarheim Good call on the extra mini-games. It will be fun to expand on that.

@mrwarranty Thanks for the solid feedback! Glad you enjoyed.
There's another music track in the pause menu too. If you didn't get a chance to hear that one, I'd recommend it!
You've got me taking notes π
Those tip percentages might almost be enough to make a dent in things.
