The game is really nice. It works like a charm. I'm feeling bad for scientist I had to kill but hey! I didn't want to be here in the first place.
Nice gameplay with mouse and screen moving forward to mouse position. Sounds of demons looks like a snore… why not.
Nice work. All in a shell. This stlye is quite inusual this days. Glade to see this.
Incredible. Sure the best of this jam.
So much fun. I love those random deviant looking/behavior clones, such a great idea!
From screenshot above, I think we all get stuck at the same place, buried under an army of clones :)
The character sometimes does not face the direction he's walking to, making difficult to make clone spawn around the place we want. But everything else is so cool.
Short but nice. The drawings are great.
Really brillant! Graphics are very nice, sounds are cool, gameplay is great. Cool mix of different game styles.
Maybe, surviving monsters could re-align after some died. This way could improve the combo-managment gameplay instead of just manage the random.
One of the coolest game I played this days.
The art is pretty cool. I'll never think about chuthlu the same again. Very funny.
It may be a problem with viewport sizing… light is not centered. Then letters are very difficult to read. Only left side of the screen is visible.
But, out of this, it is nice.
Very nice game. Looks pretty good. Looks like it sometimes fails to detect several keys at same time (shoot + make a diagonal seems impossible)
But it is fun and the idea is great and original.
I think I miss something since I definitly never succeed to make mana raise or even stabilize…
Is it asset from you? Then very good job.
I was thinking about tower-defense myself match very good summoning theme, then changed my mind. But well… sure yours is better than what I could have come up with.
Inertia is too heavy. Let the canon bounce by itself and only grab bullet on the way. But great idea anway, almost perfect.
How difficult it should be to detect shape! Did you already have some code or did you do it all during the jam? It is impressive (even if I'm able to draw a water golem once for five, Should be easier on mobile or tablet). It could be a full game.
The game is beautiful! Controls work fine. Resource management is a good idea (eat souls or use them to summon help). The map seems huge.
If feel bad to look for meeple to kill them when they are so peaceful since I do not go on them :D
Graphics are great. Enemies have several pattern to learn. Managing the bonus/malus balance is a great idea.
It frees when I click on the book. I'm so sade.
Sadly, that the first of this Jam, Win only, I cannot run with wine.
Does each golem has different advantage over some kind of enemies? Lack some feedback on hits.
But the game is cool and nice to play.
Too much fire makes the game lag over hell. I did not really get how and what summon is. Camera only goes left-right, then I can lost my character below the viewport.
But only run around was enough. I laugh so much with the competency proposal at each level. Thanks for that. And the graphics are so nice.
It takes me a while to understand what to do… but when I got it, I thought I was just stupid. When I understood the several slot system, I felt even more stupid.
Really, the game is good. The puzzle is really clever.
The best butler ever. Nice job. Nice remaster of the old takoban game style. The trick of the sound spreading is very clever.
Summoning so much courage, summoned a good mood on me. Nice work! It is fine and a change against all those zombies, souls and sacrifices.
Seems yopur first attempt to FPS is successfull. But the boss looks far to like my boss IRL... hum
It is fun and well made. What is worth than your boss? The boss's wife. Ok.
Fun idea. Go back to the summoning book is kinda boring… I would prefer a button to simply open it. But it add stress on the task to fulfill the customer, so… why not.
So much content! The design looks so cool. Sound/music is great. The game is very original and fun! What to say more... 5/5
Layout problem prevent me to see the key for backward switch. Never find out the key.
But driving this mad physic car is very fun. It reminds me the old ps1 games
In some kind, poetic. hypnotic. A minimalist concept for great success.
Now I trained on this, maybe I can go back to Drakengard3 and try to succeed on the final stage ;)
Original idea. Graphics are really nice and game is fun to play. Short and easy but so polished.
A good idea with challenging situations, good job ! I had some difficulties controlling the character.
Very good game. It offers a good atmosphere. Not too difficult but the story is nice.
Impressive! Super original, good use of the theme and very nice looking.
At first, I didn't notice the door at right (since camera follow the active player) I took time to find out what happened when pressing the button at level 2.
I think texts are auto-skipped to fast (may be should wait for a key pressed). Failed to read the tuto text. But I figure out the key by trying. I don't think the E key is mentionned. Then I took time to pull the lever at level 3. Maybe it should appear in some way when several clones are necessary to press a tile…
It force a good time management that clone disappears at summoning. Do I save time for the rest of the loop or do I keep it here a few more second if I fail to jump on his head with the next clone at fist try. I think it is a good implementation choice.
I really enjoyed this game.
Ho, we got the same game idea!
I really like your implementation and illustrations are pretty good.
Easy to understand, I keep trying and trying harder to beat them all. There is no malus leaving the battle before the one opponent fail? Nice guitar riff.
So lovely. It take me a few times to find out what to do at first. But then, I can no longer stop to finish all levels.
Wow! So polished. Graphics are very nice, all works perfectly and a huge level count for such a short time.
Pixel art is nice even if we can't really guess what are the temptation items without the text.
As the others, I think the problem is due to the lack of cost, cooldown and or visual feedback when a temptation item is consumed.
Anyway, the idea is interesting.
I'm so jealous you succeed to make gamepad work on web version. Mine is not well supported by browsers (since win/linux version have no problem). Godot 1 - Unity 0.
Simple and efficient, nice game.
I knew hell was full of bullshit jobs!
Nice and original game. Graphics are great and all play very well.
Sorry for those who get killed during reading the lore. Enemies move randomly (I should have set them paused, I agree), but those already on the map are far from the player and I hoped they do not get agro. It is bad luck but I will definitely fix that.
Sorry for the keyboard mapping. I planned it to be played with gamepad but only get that it is not well supported in webview at the end. So even num keys (or xybc) are not the best, but it does not match the displayed button around the summoning circle. It is my first Jam but now I know, I'm aware how the web version is better to test so much games and so mouse/keyboard.
I planned to build a full summoning graph but had no time to make it really deep. For now: sheep → demon, demon+mushroom→goblin, and a few more only. I assume the game must start slower to let player find and play with this. I'd like to add some complexity on buttons (press sequences to summon, etc.) and bad things to happened on mistake. But I ran out of time. You all are totally right.
@someone Serendipity is good. I first coded demon postion as temporary, looking for complex demon behavior (pathfinding and so on). But after tests, I thought it was fun just like that. I'm happy you unlocked the final poem :) You're the best!
Thank you all. I think I will continue to improve it and post it on itch io soon.
@drgcandle I am incredibly flattered. I'll test your friends' game right now. I hope your girlfriend won't be mad at me. Thank you very much for this complimentary comment.
Thanks everybody for playing/testing and all your feedbacks. You're all so right. Then I fixed some things and improved others. - Images are pixel-prefect. - Added a workaround for gamepad. - Show keyboard keys instead of pad buttons depending used device. - Added an epic music for the boss-fight. - Improved enemy spawn.
Gamepad is not supported on Chrome but Ok with Firefox. Anyway, there is a bug with pad button mapping in Unity for WebGL and the new Input System. Then I developed a workaround and it works fine now.
To not mess up with the Ludum, I did not updated this page but published the updated version the ItchIo only → [Summoning Survival v1.1](https://misoukun.itch.io/summoning-survival)
Good looking and nice gameplay.
Sometime it is hard to grab the line start… I don't think the complexity of drawing with the mouse was the core gameplay. I finish by only focus on drawing as fast as I can.
And my creatures end stucked in the oak roots… Some diversity in spell (more based on position) could enforce the tower defense like feeling.
Anyway, I enjoyed playing it.
Really pretty. I like how it looks. Original gameplay. Good puzzle.
The game is cute and fun. Simple gameplay and very efficient. Arts and animation are very cool.
A better balance in contract proposal could be nice. But the game is cool. Risk/benefit management. Surprising, have only cube that fight make things funnier.
Should be a way to reset a level when we blocked our way. Anyway, good puzzle game. Graphics are cool.
Interesting puzzle game! Original idea. It is fun to play and works fine.
The game provide a lot of content and mechanics. Of course, during a jam, you do not have time to build tutorial levels to teach about them one by one. So, we are a little bit confused about what building do what.
But it is a great proposal, a very ambitious one. So far, it is very cool.
I don't really understand how spells are shooting (seems to explode just in front of me). So just ran to the book and come back.
Good work anyway. Souls world renders well. It's the start to something.
So much cutness after summoning so many zombies and deads… thanks!
Good game. But the explanation of the action tiles should be out of the lore (long) text. Or being able to see them selecting the tile.
Sadly, the player report an error (tested on chrome and firefox) «The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)»
I finally tried it. And it is cool. Card cooldown is short enough to only kinda spam creatures. But it is cool to start the game with a lite difficulty (A thing I did wrong on my side).
The gameplay is cool, It makes me want to restart a game over again. And the graphics are simple but nice.
A very nice game. I hate that music since the third I tried the level… so a very good choice of music since it stress me as hell. It's sometime hard to hit the walls and take orthogonal trajectory (to save time traveling between task [sic]). Impressive work in a so small range of time.
Nice game. It's about slime then it could only be good.
Ho, link seems broken. Give me «Not found».
Really good looking. (hard time with key mapping when not qwerty, you should switch to the input system of unity for key place instead of key mapped). Congrats for the word game :) A nice implementation of the concept.
The drawing is great. I do not understand the battle system since only click attack seams to do something. But do not finish a game in a so short time is not bad thing. See you next time.
