Holy cow. what a great idea. I truely enjoyed playing. It really put the investigative spirit in me as I tried to figure out how to send this letter.
I chuckled every time I died... which was alot.
the music is sooo soothing.
The art is amazing, the audio is fantastic. but honestly... the gameplay was boring.
well done. It felt very polished. smooth running. I did not like how sometimes the rats would leave you just before you hit the exit :( but Overall I rather enjoyed the game.
I liked the fluid motions and how easy it was to control.
Its simple and easy to play... I felt it ran out of fun pretty quick though.
could be cool. need more stuff to do. his impatience really raised the stress level.
Do I even wanna play a game about a starship hamster?!? YES, yes you do. :)
Octodad... the hand version. Pretty darn challenging though.
that was... AWESOME! great game
What is happening in my life that I feel like kissing plants...
I added a quick guide to the page so users can see what all the elements are. I understand its confusing being dumped in a game with no clue how to play ;) (hard to get all the polish in just 2 days though)
thats just silly fun
I was quite impressed by this. great job.
Simple meghanics and a pumpin soundtrack really makes you forget how long youve been playing
Crazy impressive. WOW!
I love it. Awesome take on keep it alive :) controls are klunky. you cant shoot diagonally, but the baddies can walk diagonaly. and the fov is super small, makes it very hard.
Haha, loved the bullet sounds. quite a challenging platformer
I thought it was gonna be dumb... how many keep a plant alive games are we gonna see... but I actually relly liked this one. the graphics were cool and it had a good scifi theme.
I actually realy liked the magnifying powerup. the low fov made the game difficult, and using that as a bonus drop was crative. Good job on this game :)
Im a really bad driver :(
yowza, 90s graphics
Ha, that was silly fun. kinda hard, but quite enjoyable :)
Gameplay is actually really cool... not a fan of the smoking dog tho ;)
I played that for way too long
Pretty cool tower defense style game. I really had fun :)
Clever way to make what you want and keep the theme, great work :)
Thanks for the HTML Upload, this is really great, cant wait to get further. real classic platformer feel with a unique twist.
Simple, cute... what more could you want, great idea.
yes lol the idea is simple and cute. I am excited to play :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
scary, great work. a VR game for a game jam is ampitious, im impressed.
Hey, this is very clever, great job :)
I was really impressed with this, the story kept me wanting more and the mood was great. Stellar job!
super cute, I love it!
wild, great work. I really enjoyed it
I feel like Im in a progresson litRPG
I cant get it to load via the browser either :( I was excited to play tho, I love card game games.
Thanks for the callback @k4su, This was really fun, short but fun. the idea is simple and and comes tegether pretty clearly.
some instructions or tutorials would be nice, you attack by clicking one of the 3 colored gems at the top of the cards, you defend by selecting the card that will defend. even though the only options aparently visible is take direct attack... you can still select a card to defend with.
sometimes [Next Phase] is pretty genaric, if the phases had names so I knew whos turn it was. one time I got to draw 2 extra cards and it just kinda wouldnt let me do anythng else... except click next phase... it made no since, I wanted to either use those cards I drew, or attack as I hadnt done that yet... but once I clicked, [Next Phase] it was still my turn and I got to attack... so a bit more ridgid or name the phases
Player summon phase, player attack phase, enemy summon phase, enemy attack phase... or something...
Overall, I really enjoyed it. What did you use to make the cards?
I recently wrote a card maker software that might make it easier to update your deck if you are interested:
https://lsadevelopment.com/Software/Instructions/SimpleCardMaker.html
Anyone reading this is free to use it :)
Great job on this game!
Played some more cause... I like it.. Love the update btw, helps clear alot of things up.
got some nitpicks for ya.
- The "You Win" is on a layer under the cards... so its hard to read if you have alot of cards when you win
- One time I wanted to see what monsters could be upgraded with one of my upgrade cards. I decided I did not want to use it, but couldnt go back :( I ended up using it on a monster I did not want to cause there was no option (that I could see) to cancel the upgrade once i selected the card
- last but not least... can you release it as downloadable? <3
this is probably my favorite game in ld55
Dangit, now I wanna play that hover game from windows 98.
great throwback, thanks for sharing.
Clever, fun, and jist an all aroind good game. Great work
hey thats great work. you should be proud :)
clever game, great work.
theres a lot to unpack here. love the local multiplayer. needs more polish, but its great for a jam. You should be proud.
This is so cute, great work!
Well thats just cute... I know the first game wifeys gonna play when she gets off work ;)
thats a fun take on the theme lol summoned ;D great work, I enjoyed it
takes a bit to figure out, but I like the idea. flesh that out more and youve got the makings of something great :)
thats alot of fun, thanks for the upload :)
:sweat_drops: :cat2:
Still needs some work, but its a great start. I like how you used the theme and still made what you wanted lol, very nice ;)
This was silly, I enjoyed it quite a bit. great work.
This is super cute, great work all around, you should be proud.
hey thats pretty cool. great game mechanic. itd be a fun mini game in a larger adventure. and the graphics are great ;)
very ambitious for a game jam, great job.
Great job. The puzzles are really good.
run birb run! this is addictive... make moar!!!
Wild, great job, love the challenge, as one would expect from fighting the evil eye ;)
I had a great time saving gnome-ville... or trying to. thanks for this.
Holy crap... I want more of this. Thats amazing for a game jam, great work. Im blown away...
This is a really cool game, great idea. Id love to see you continue to develop it :)
this is gonna give me tetris nightmares
This would have slayed on the Nintendo DS... just sayin. Great work :)
This is super cute, great idea, great job.
This is really clever and charming, you should be proud of what youve made.
nice bit of code. Kind of complicated to play, but I cant complain. Nice work.
Thats exactly how my magical cat acts... you nailed it ;)
This is really good, super fun mechanics :) thanks for making it
Great job getting a game made :) its cute
do we have to build this game ourselves?
Like a learning game from the 90s, brings back memories ;) great work
the art is phoenomila, and the mechanics are so smooth. Amazing work.
Would love to see it polished to the level you wanted :) Its great work for a game jam, you should be proud
Super unique. Love it.
Thats a fun concept, reminds me of Carl from the ELLC books
aw this is great. Such an impressive submission!
I love this... like cthulu raft! so good.
Great idea. fun spin on the theme.
Cool idea and great execution. I love sneak thief games, this is right up my alley
Very Clever, great job.
2 things...
1, I wanna download this...
2, I want more of this
can you help?
I love the art, not my genra, but pretty cool that you made it :)
Are we supposed to build it ourselves? I only see a link to the source :(
~~Notes: Hope you have a largeish monitor... cause a small monitor aint gonna cut it.
There is no way to close the desktop version... OOPS
Use alt f4, or windows key, or alt tab...~~
**UPDATE: fixed both these issues... enjoy**
Thanks for the comment @pebkac, the font itself is actually @pandapuffsforbreakfast handwriting made into a font as the book is supposed to be a handwritten journal. I do agree it should be bigger to make it easier to read.
@leo-nadeau and @pebkac, I just pushed an update with larger text in the book, so it should be much easier to read (also over 35 pages now) :scream:
Yeah, @pseudonclide it was supposed to be more deducing, but @pandapuffsforbreakfast went a little story crazy when she was making the book. We ran with it ;)
@salanyel to turn the pages you must use the bottom outside corners ONLY, nowhere else works... I tried hard to make the arrow keys or [A] and [D] but it always went jankey and kinda broke so I took that out :(
but yeah, the bottom left and right corners only. where the "Drag to turn pages" is pointing too.
Haha, the 'widget' was a smear of blood on the last page... nothing but thematic effect. Im so glad you liked playing :)
No jump scares here... yet :see_no_evil:
lol, I work from home @cpu... so I can do this all day while I 'work' :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: as long as Im there for the meetings
weekends are when obligations occur... not all peeps got chill programmer jobs like me. (plus there are 2 of us working from home)
Aaaand, ratings given is not games played, if you rate all 5* you would get 5 ratings given... so I have not played 200 games... yet :speak_no_evil: I do tend to rate highly, cause everyone does so good (I really liked your game too) and game jams are hard.
It looks good, I didnt get real far, but its cool.
Simple, cute, great submission.
The graphics look really clean, love the ui. Not great at memory games, but you did a good job.
So... I picked every silly choice there was... and lost when I literally chose to die... but I had 4 nipples and a really cool hat, oh an lactose was not a problem anymore. 10/10 would play again.
This is very unique and cool. would love to see it polished up its really fun.
Ooo this is a good one. just a few touchups and polish and youll have the makings of a great game.
There is alot to unpack here, great work. Takes a bit to understand but its pretty fun once you get the hang of it
Thats some fantastic art. wow
Would love to see more, this was fun ;)
yeah, I cant get it to load on the ld site either... I dont think its you... most games arent working for me on the ld site. the itch site works fine tho, so try there.
lol wow a gacha for a game jam, clever. well executed too, good job.
wait, not the cat... thats one take on the theme lol. so silly.
This is fantastic, everything came together so well. Great work.
Wow this is almost exactly one of the ideas we came upnwith for this jam. Wild. Yall did it better than we would have tho ;)
awesome graphics, this was just a pleasure to play. Thanks for submitting it
I like the idea, but I just wanna pet that fluffball.
Congrats, you should be proud of your first godot game :) great work.
This is a cut little platformer. great work. not 100% but we all understand the time constraint ;)
I really enjoyed the challenge.
This was really fun, Thanks for the upload.
Wow, I love tabletop games!!! Did not expect to see that, great job :)
I love these kinds of puzzles, great job!!! Would love a quick fail button if I know im gonna fail I dont wanna wait for the timer to go down.
Well done this is a fun little game.
Reminds me of Journey, I love these thematic games, great work.
... you messed up... thats not ugly ;) Great job.
Cute Simple, Well Done!
cute, well worth paying :) thanks for uploading it.
Oh, I love it, its a great take on like rythm games. would love to see this as a ddr format ;) Id make friends to dance
difficulty really jumps there, but im not mad. great work!
Ha, fun concept. the audio is a bit much, but its a nice idea overall :)
This looks great, I feel like im actually in school ;) great work.
This could be a board game, great job :)
Wish I could summon cleaning deamons... like for real...
The aret is fantastic!
That is really polished, great work. The ui is a bit slow for my tase, but its still really good.
Its like an idea generator for mini games, great fun... one might even call it... super fun
Ambitious, great job.
that sure takes a bit to get going, but once you understand, its fun :)
I couldnt get it to open :( the loading bar just kinda stopped at 90ish percent for a few minutes... I got tired of waitng...
I was looking forward to extreme fog of war tho... neat idea.
lovely environment, super thematic, great job :)
this is pretty neat, well polished. I always enjoy card based video games tho :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
haha clever. nice reuse of assets ;) wizard summoning wizards
This is a fun game, great submission.
interesting spin. great job
This is pretty wild. I could see this going on steam after a bit more polishing and work :)
This was fun :) little clues in the scirbbled out part,
You Win
Go Back
seemed more like a warning than a choice tho.
I woudl have really liked to see a clear button in the book. I wanted to right click and wipe away the rune i had placed.
great art, fun lil game. good job.
lol well thats one take on it. Silly game, great work tho.
Tbis was fantastic! Everything is so polished and smooth.
Aww, dont cry Gacha.
I could see this on the NES... very classic. great feel :)
all hail lord chicken
OMG I totally had this when I was a kid... wait
Great job, love the play for nostalgia ;)
YOu can deffinately tell the 8 hours of work time... what happened to the other 40.
that being said... impressive you have something that fast, great job :)
psychodelic acid trip summoning. great job ;P
Who doesnt love chess variants. Grat work :)
That was just a joy, almost theraputic. Thanks for the upload. Certainly takes a bit to understand, but its quite fun once you get the hang of it.
Super cute, great job!
U gonna rule 34 this?
ngl... this was better than expected. great job.
Is that a short green... rooster...
Super cute, great job. I really like the summonging cute ghosties to help you survive idea. very clever.
idk whats happening... but im here for it.
Well thats downright cute. Its a Meowsterpiece, just Purrfect. Its the Cats Meow. The effor you put into this is nothing to scratch at. Great job :cat2:
Gotta get that cheese! this is pretty fun lil platformer, great twist.
I summoned verry wrong...
Spooky, great atmosphere, you really nailed the audio. Wonderful submission.
wow this is really good... I want more... make more... moar game plez
This is great, Ima try and load it on my pico ;)
This is exactly how it was in ancient egypt... change my mind.
This is really cool, good job :)
This is great, super fun. needs a bit of polish, but for a game jam, superb work :)
great work on this. It looks so smooth and everything comes together nicely. Great work. and cute tooo ;)
Cute, smooth platformer. nice graphics... great game :)
Ooo this is clever. nice puzzler. the escalation of difficulty is pretty extreme, I would have like to see the characters I figured out in the first level help me in the second. slower difficulty ramp I guess.
cool idea... loooots of glitches still.
not very far in, the jump action quits working :( plus the character always faces right, even when walking left, very odd behavior
overall its great work for a game jam ;)
neat idea, kinda hard due to the length of the spells, but it would make a fantastic mini game in some longer adventure :)
This is super polished, I like it :)
Cute!
OMG this is Purrfect. A Meowsterpiece! :kissing_cat:
This is a fantastic idea, great art, just a great submission. I love it.
This is really good, very professional polish. Great work.
This is really good, love the controller support and the art is fantastic.
Its like fast food from the atari. fun game ;) the mechanics are solid, great work.
Great work, you really put alot into this.
this is great. super fun.
One Goblin to rule them ALL
Thank you for calling Deamons-R-Us, this is Carl speaking. How may I help you?
I like it, great job ;)
I love the models, great work
very fun, kinda tough... but thats good ;)
This is just a charming game you can get lost in for a bit, great job :)
Phaha, nothing like being killed by a chicken. Great fun :)
if only working at amazon was like this ;) great job creating this.
We cant play without a link :(
Phaha, what a ccute idea... I wanna play it :)
That... was really fun. a couple things could have been more clear... some of the cards said... CHOOSE... but didnt tell me what I was choosing... pretty sure I threw away good cards cause of that. and when you hit the enemy... you lose everything on the field... that woulda been nice to know before I summoned stuff that wouldnt have made it to him...
Ambitious, great job
Talk about running and gunning. tough game, great work.
Everything looks so goooood
This was really good... I want more... make more... please :eyes:
Clean and simple, very well executed.
This is a wild idea and great execution considering the time constraint. Great work
This is a great idea... I love the concept of managing prayers its so cute. great work :)
I like it, but I wish things were faster. Its super polished and looks great, I just wish I couls skip alot of the loading time of summoning... ya know
This is the Cats Meow :smile_cat:
Its Purrfect :kissing_cat:
Its a Meowsterpiece :smirk_cat:
Your effort is truely nothing to scratch at :joy_cat:
Ok, Ill leave now :kissing_cat:
I love card game games... great job :)
this sure takes a bit to get... not mad, you only had 2 days. Id like to see this more fleshed out, but its impressive nonetheless, the art is so great. kudos
Love it :duck:
fun idea, takes a bit to get but its fun once you get going. Great work.
This is pretty neat, needs a bit more, but im not mad, great job
woo, nice twist on the vintage golf games. great job
Are you kidding, this is my every day around dinner time pshhh.
super cute game btw, great work.
gotta love the classic, great spin on the platformer, good job
Are enemies supposed to show up... I spent all my moneys on skulls and ghosties... and they just sit around... did I miss something?
Nevermind, found it... gotta hit [F] to start combat
This is really cool, something to be proud of :)
Great job getting something out ther <3
Its like the learning games I played in the 90s... what a throwback, thanks <3
The art is superb, great work
I like the idea, and enjoyed playing. Great work :) Had to turn off the sound tho. (dont take it personally, I do that for alot of games)
Silly and creative. Great job keeping the scope down for the timeframe.
Takes a second, but once you get it its fun. good work :)
Really silly concept, like goat simulator lol. needs a bit more work and polish, but no reason this cant be as successful ;)
real nice for a new engine :) great work, you should be proud.
A bit of instructions would be helpful, I dont know whats happening :(
pff you silly ;) fun quick lil game tho, great work
ok... now thats cute, great submission.
aww, yeah, itch says nono :(
Maan, screw those dastardly red cubes.
Wow this is really good. Im not a big fan of the timing after unleashing the spell, but other than that its fantastic.
Oh god... is this my future!!!
oOoO spooky, great work :)
You should review constantly ;) but you will get reviews as they come.
There is nothing to download :(
Good ol classic hard platformish game... really impressive for the compo, great work.
This is really cool, great work. very strategic. But, now I want a Holy Doughnut...
This looks great, sad the godot web player isnt working :(
but but but... I wanna play :(
This looks really good, great job mate
OoO thats a fun twist on the fallingblock match game mechanic. i like it :) gives me ideas 0.0
Might have found a glitch tho: huh2.PNG
I got 7 or 8 of the target spell stacked up before the game reset :(
OMG I love it. Instead of phasmophobia (where you find what ghost to remove) you get to go and figure out the best ghost to place... its wonderful, great work.
This is super cute :)
Wow great job... for all players... be sure to play in full screen mode... she dont fit in small window ;)
Yeah, I just get a gray screen for the web build :(
This is great. Awesome submission!
I enjoyed that alot more than I thought I would.
this is fun. needs some polishing but overall its great for a game jam.
WOW, great work. this is so good. Make this a mobile game and id totally play on my lunch break.
this is super cute. simple yet creative, great job.
This is fun, great job
