LD55 — Summoning

Whip it up! by recursiveanomaly 2024-04-19T16:20:52Z

Nice little cooking time, wish cooking was that easy in real life!

A small ode by fusionnist 2024-04-18T11:05:27Z

Great Jump and Run, Puzzle, Card Game whatever! Was really nice to try out the summones and see how strong they can get! Was fun!

Hellpet by Rayne 2024-04-17T10:23:33Z

Nice idea with the pentagram summoning magic. A lot of game I saw so far had a pentagram (Ours likewise), but thats the best game so far, that used it in a intresting funny way. And great Artwork! Personally I would made the player a little bit faster, but maybe I'm just bad gamer :D

Witches Fishes by OlavDeng2 2024-04-17T14:03:09Z

Funny Idea, but catching a fish was quite confusing. After I finally summoned a Worm, I never really understand how to fish and what to press and where the fishing rot will go. There would be a Instruction quite helpful. But I loved to be Summoner that just wants to fish!

Home-O-Mancer by Happy 2024-04-17T19:30:16Z

I was really hooked, dont geht all summones but a lot of them. The game I playes the longest so far of this jam. really love the easy to understand but still complex puzzle ascpect. And Artwork is on point!

Magical Michael's Summoning Salon by Re-Markable 2024-04-18T15:34:41Z

The Image really catch my eyes in the News-Feed and it was quite funny! For One day pretty great! Love the look and stupid humor! But I could put on the table whatever I want and it was right, so there was no check for the right incredients :D

Come By by the4thcircle 2024-04-17T13:33:44Z

Nice on, the practice level is really hard from the beginning or maybe I dont know so far, how I get sheeps where I want. But nice minimal art style and love the unique Idea!

Eye for Mischief by Vyolfers 2024-04-18T09:32:23Z

At one time I was stucked with the cute kitty, because I was out of milk and I was trapped in a 2x2 square where I needed milk to escape. But yeah maybe my own fault, If I dont think about it :D Awsome Sound Design and Art Style!! Lovely Cat!

Summon the Worms! by JoshAnthony1990 2024-04-18T15:47:12Z

I needed some time, to get what I'm doing, because I was really confused of the the dice Image in the left corner, first I thought it will do all the Things on the dice, till I get it. Nice little puzzle!

Necron's Army by CookieRA 2024-04-19T16:15:48Z

The movement and attack system is pretty smooth!! Lovely Artdesign!

Golem Guardians by Substain 2024-04-17T10:30:44Z

I would find it cool, if I can put my players in the glyphs and could heal them or maybe could evolve them, if they standing there for a specific time. But overall fun little game!

Tournament of Summoners by VladImperator 2024-04-17T09:59:40Z

Could not run the game on my computer (Win11 x64). After clicking on the the Summoner.exe a window open with a white screen and then closed after a couple of seconds. No Error message.

Summorning Routine by FishMasterino 2024-04-18T15:56:42Z

Funny Idea with the rage moments! Pretty solid little game everythings fits together!

Summoning Station by DanB18 2024-04-17T19:35:59Z

Sound is great! Love that you have to drop that guy to leave the game. Nice Idea and well done in that short time!!! Really solid and fun!

💀 Soula Cola🥤 by the neon shark 2024-04-18T09:23:45Z

Really smooth and great animation! Was a little bit stressed with a lot of these souls guys, but that makes it really fun to play!

Bony Barricade by Philocode 2024-04-17T10:11:25Z

Nice little kind of tower defense game. I personal think you could add some more vibrant colours to the game, because now it's a little bit dull. Or maybe bright the colours up on the human side and more dark mat colours on the player side. The balancing was pretty good! So it was not that easy to win. And I think it would be good, if the melee people could pass the own range units. Becaouse I had the problem, that I build the big skelotton and that could not get to the enemies for some time because of my archers.

Furriend: A Paw-some Summoning Odyssey by pralista 2024-04-18T06:52:59Z

Nice! First I thought, now I can create a DoggoCat but okay Im not allowed to combine them. Really lovely art style and nice level switch animation!

Hole-ly Shift by wo_ri_gou_le 2024-04-16T10:49:23Z

Looks cute! Hope you had fun on your first solo Jam!

Harvest Havoc by mortusnegati 2024-04-17T13:48:31Z

Played a lot of this base protection, spawn games in my life (dont know the word for games like this), but I really love your Idea of summon the things that spawn. A lot more monster to spawn would relly improve the game further! Funny Story, but the connection to the game play is a little bit of a jump. Great Job!

Hell's On Hold by OblivionCreator 2024-04-17T19:10:36Z

Had a little fun to play it and now I know again, why I dont want to do a customer service job again!

Baphocat by onqdll 2024-04-17T14:17:53Z

Best game so far for me!! 5/5 Stars! I love card play games like this! The whole game is solid, I know you dont did everything own your own, but for a solo project in three days. Thats and incredible result. You should go on with that game!

Obscure Proxy by Maks Night DLC 2024-04-16T11:25:09Z

Great art style!

Obscure Proxy by Maks Night DLC 2024-04-17T12:50:58Z

Love that weird crepy Art Style and the 2D/3D Mix! The atmosphere you nailed with that art style. And sounds like a pretty normal game jam in your team, planning way to much in the beginning and ending still with a good game prototype after three days!

The Summoned Struggle: Tales of a Tag-Along Demon by MartenJ 2024-04-17T18:48:01Z

@dekara yeah two hours before the submission of the game and really tired, we tought "shit, there is no more time to balance and make the gameplay a little bit smoother".

The Summoned Struggle: Tales of a Tag-Along Demon by MartenJ 2024-04-17T18:54:53Z

@litterattus at first, the sword was not so pixelated, but short before deadline we had to rotate the sprite for "reasons" and then it was pixelated because of the transformation. And there was still so much to do, that we dont adjust the sprite to the style :D And yeah in the attack movement is still a lot to improv to make it more solid. Thanks for the feedback!

ColorMon by FloweryAndy 2024-04-17T13:25:00Z

A little pokemon like game "catch" me everytime! The Idea and mix up of different game elements is solid!

Burger Ritual by meylish 2024-04-17T13:11:11Z

I always wanted to be a burger boy like Sponge Bob and in this game I am a Statan Sponge Bob in a really great Art Style! The Art is really on point and and everything is pretty smooth and solid for a 3 days, great work! Would love to see more, so that the game get more depth, to play it again and again!

LD57 — Depths

Ascend From Depths by gamurmakesgems 2025-04-10T15:20:02Z

I struggled with the fishes a little bit, would be great if the fishes at the beginning where a little slower, so the player can learn the movement and out swim them better, but really smooth swim vibe!

Wobble Down by MartenJ 2025-04-08T10:02:15Z

@pretendcoding yeah totaly true, I realized that myself at the end, but I think it's a good case of a funny idea but so far not the best and fun implementation. I already thining of different ways of how I could do this better, because the scnenery in hiking is important!

Wobble Down by MartenJ 2025-04-21T20:18:06Z

@deadroach haha thanks for playing, liked your trash talking with each other and how you go so slow the whole time :D But yeah sadly it turns out to a look left down on the screen game and nowhere else. But like you say, "it is something". Didn't turned out like the thing I wanted to achieve but it is something

Echo Depths by Slyz 2025-04-09T09:40:13Z

Nice jumping control and movement! Had a lot of fun! I think I would like it more, if the scanner is nearer to the player

Deep City by MilkiWay 2025-04-10T15:12:18Z

Struggling at the beginning (died a lot in 5sec and was confused) but hooked me and liked the vibe!
