Convincing retro arcade game. The graphics along with the sfx are simple but cohesive giving this game a polished look and feel even if you didn't spend a lot of time on it. Given more time I'm sure you would've added more functionality, I would've enjoyed more player actions powerups, alt abilities, guns etc...
also surprisingly good menu for a jam game lol
Ok that was fun. I wasn't sure exactly what to do in the beginning but after click around and a few trys later I became immortal and had to let them kill me to see my score lol. I think the difficulty stops increasing after a certain point and for an endless game like this, maybe the difficulty should keep increasing. I had fun overall though getting to the immortal state. Nice art, sound and music very polished feeling.Screenshot 2024-04-20 115726.jpg
I was invested good game. The art along with the sounds and music sell the vibe really well. I spent longer on this game then most other submissions so far.
Short little game that explored an neat concept. The controls were very different in this game which some will like and others may not. The graphics and audio were good. I found it engaging for a little while.
The main mechanic being shifting the box is fun though usually feels clunky. SFX need work however the art is good. Decent concept overall not bad.
I really like the art style and ambience created by the audio. I thought the economy couldve been a little more fair perhaps giving more souls for each kill or make it so the player controls when the attacks happen to have more engaging gameplay. An enjoyable experience.
a classic typing game with an atmosphere that really sets the tone. Overall an enjoyable experience especially if you like typing games
The level of polish on this is impressive. The 3d models and animations look great. Attacks feel weighty and blood effects as well as screen shake when enemies die is a nice touch. Voice acting, cool music, great sfx and even a robust menu system as well as a leaderboard, its obvious you guys put a lot of work into this. The actual gameplay might be the weakest part with how repetitive it is. Its still fun but compared to everything else it doesn't feel as full. Very nicely done.
A simple game about keeping your sheep safe, it's similar to other types of games in this jam which are also about summoning things to a certain locations but the charm in this one comes from the cute sprites and little animation s that make the game more polished.
Super cool probably the most fun game I've played all jam. It was challenging but never unfair. I found myself relying on a few shorter spells most of the time. The balance is really impressive for a jam game I thought it would be messy and frustrating but this was actually very fun. Nice job.
It's a good twist on the theme and the art and sound are good. Extra juice for indications when attacks land or when you are attacked would've been nice such as flashing white when you're hit or adding some screen shake. As others have said this was really short and easy but that's how jam games go sometimes so its understandable.
Enjoyed trying to figure out which trait every item corresponded to. Its a nifty puzzle game that suites the theme well.
I enjoyed summoning a lot of demons. A good addition might be adding more ingredients or changing recipes however given the time constraint it's understandable. I thought the art was really good and also liked the sfx and music. The core game loop feels fair, trying to summon a lot of demons while keeping the candle lit was a tense but enjoyable experience.
Some of the best art I've seen all jam. The music and dialogue help build tension when exploring this unknown place. I like the forgiving hitbox of the attack animation so even when I thought it wouldn't hit it still did and knocking back the aliens upon being hit was also nice. Sometimes the aliens would kill me upon entering an area which lead to some unfortunate deaths but overall this was an enjoyable experience
Humor on point, great animations and a nice short story wrapped in a tidy little package. Not going to be for everyone but if text based games are your thing your sure to enjoy this.
Very much enjoyed playing. I was glad to be able to beat my inner demons. As a pianist I was waiting for the short motifs to connect or form something musical but I'm satisficed with what was given. The game feels polish and fair . Some sfx may have been nice and the art was lovely. Nice job.
I liked the look of the sprites and overall aesthetic. I had fun fighting the enemies however it quickly became a game of afk until my cooldown to comes back. I could see this idea being expanded upon though. Nice job.
I like the concept. The art is convincing and the music is nice. It did not feel great to shoot and dungeon generation felt a little too random with the player spawning inside of a hoard of enemies sometimes. Theres also an issue with the game freezing after a certain amount of time that I'm sure you're aware of. I enjoyed my experience overall but some small improvements could go a long way.
@paloobi glad you enjoyed the game. I was trying to keep the scope small since I've never made game in 3 days before but I like the ideas you suggested if I expand upon this little game I'll be sure to add more actions.
The game is enjoyable, would be nice to see an increase in difficulty and generally more variety but what's presented is a complete package that I had fun playing
Neat little game and unique twist on the theme. I like the different types of towers and finding the most optimal skeletons to use was fun. I wish there were sfx or music though, however the assets used look nice and suit the game well.
Very fun, addicting even. I was really invested in trying to save up for the dragon and it felt good to get it. The difficulty scales well with your resources making the core game loop continually satisfying.
Unique take on the theme. The level design is impressive considering the limited amount of time, the levels are challenging but not frustrating. Very enjoyable good job.
haha we made very similar games but instead of spawning ducks I spawn cats
The art and aesthetic was nice, I would've preferred a more weighty jump which may have made the controller feel better to play but that's a personal preference. Overall nicely done.
Quite a charming game. Of course I love every game featuring a cat. The movement and animations felt stiff however that may not be such a bad thing in a game like this that is more puzzle than platformer. Good job.
