I liked the moment where the camera angle changed, I feel like changing days should add more stuff to pick up, some of the days I only had 1 or 2 items
I could see a game like this with increasingly impossible things happening (items changing shapes, having beds everywhere, etc... to symbolize the situation getting worse)
Very funny, I really enjoyed the gameplay overall, now I'm ready to make friends by lying to them!
If I had to try to think about how to improve it, I think I would start with a bigger brush (4 tiles perhaps, maybe a 3/3 with corner cuts) and a bigger canvas as a result (you don't even need to make the resolution better, just going 2*2 of the same color for each 1 you currently have would be enough), it would make it easier for you to handle the size increase over levels and its effect on the difficulty spike you can feel between the first and 2nd painting, while keeping the "messy" nature of trying to speed paint :p
I loved bothering the hermit crab on screen :p Very pretty and relaxing game!
I just found one small bug, the hermit crab keep running if you have it in hand, and it teleports to your cursor if you move it
I enjoyed the mechanics together, having to handle inventory space while moving is a great idea
I think I would try to improve the gameplay by thinking about how the player could lose, and what are the challenges the game requires of them Personally, I see great potential in having to juggle between a timer to gather treasures, various prices and sizes for the treasures and the uncertainty of if they will show up that run, and actual ways to fall and die crushed by the boulder (think temple run) It's a great start, and I would advise to take a bit more time to finish it post jam
The mechanic is pretty interesting, it makes for an interesting puzzle to move in the level.
overall, the game is pretty difficult, I wasn't able to get far, I would consider doing a first screen where there is no way to die at all, just something that requires the mechanic to move ahead, so the player can try again as many times as they want without feeling frustrated
Impressive work, the sounds were really good, I could sense myself tensing up a little bit when hearing the radio signal
if I had to improve something, I would likely make it go directly to the notes page if I click on the menu and I picked up a note recently
The art direction is flawless, great vibes it's ambitious to make a functional card game for a game jam, congrats
I would suggest continuing the game to add all of the mechanics you weren't able to add and a lot of feedbacks on player actions, error messages when they try to do something they can't, that kind of things !
very pretty game, It reminded me of those old combination games where you start from very basic elements and start making a ton of different ones I think the game would feel better if there was no "wrong" combination of the basic elements that you can gather, even if it requires you to put a few less in the game at first
The time slowing effects were very pretty, the ambiance was strong the gameplay itself felt a bit janky at times, but I think you could improve it immensely by giving the invisibility tool a set amount of use per level, in a puzzle game kind of way, with the player having to observe the way the guards move carefully to get multiple kills at once etc
The controls are good, the visuals and sounds are nice. I think the one thing that prevented me from truly enjoying the game is how straining it is on the eye to see that repeating background, I would suggest reworking it into something more simple
I loved the vibe, I just wanted to run over grand-mas over and over :p
very unrealistic, I'm not instantly losing by opening nothing of value in the first 4 packs!
but for real, really nice visuals, great references, congrats!
how do you launch the game?
very immersive, it has the same vibe as Endoparasitic!
Very Strong Entry, great mood, great gameplay, great sound design, I like the art too! Gameplay wise, it's very fun, but looks to be a bit random if you get good combinations, I think I would take inspiration from tetris by showing the next choice, to incentivize trying to combo with type changing tiles, which seems to be too much effort to try to make work at the moment!
very strong mood, the backgrounds reminded me of earthbound, I enjoyed the experience !
big fan of the art direction ! I wasn't sure what would happen at the end, the explosion was very pretty
Really pretty, it plays well too, is there a purpose to the crouch mechanic?
fun game, I wonder if I would have liked it more as a turn based game rather than a button mash one !
Spent 25 minutes waiting in a room 10/10 I can definitely feel the stanley parable influence here, good work!
really pretty game, and the controls are exactly where you want them to be My favorite moment was finding the umbrella place when coming back from the cave, great LD decision to put it there :)
cute first game, the ambiance was nice, the level design was a bit rough, I didn't really know where to go with all of the spikes, the skeleton looked nice ! the interactible buttons should probably be in another color, to make sure players don't miss them!
I think I won :p I went so fast that I went through a wall I think, or maybe there was a hole somewhere, I'm not entirely sure
fun game anyway, love the graphics
funny concept, that parallax in the background looks really good
fun game, I was not able to pass the 2 plants after the first few bouncy items, not sure how to jump high enough
interesting game, I'm struggling to understand how to play it properly, my guys stop to work after a few seconds, I wouldn't mind a few explanations
Nice, I got completely lost at some point, and it would be nice to have the name of the few named rooms keep popping up on screen (and not just the first time you see them) as a way to get back on track
just like the comment above, keeping the soil connected was a bit weird, especially when digging the deepest square on screen led me to loose, but overall, fun and interesting !
1:30 and 1700 points the difficulty spike at the beginning made it difficult to get into the game, but after a game or two, I managed to go far, it was fun
beautiful game, I had to check the comments to find out how to handle the backpack scene too !
I'm getting stuck after I gave the ring to the girl, a fade to black where I hear the music but see nothing
Solid atmosphere, controls well too I think I ran out of fuel? my submarine just stopped moving, maybe a lack of feedback on that I tried getting more fuel but I could only find 2
Fun to see another take on using a sonar to see the environment, my game has a similar mechanic but plays very differently
I really enjoyed the mood of your game, it kinda reminds me of the claustrophobic aspect of Iron Lung
quite a fun game, the controls are not perfect though, maybe a lack of sign that you are about to erase your hard earned turret because a gold coin was too close to it and you were in the selection of a carrot 🆙 but I enjoyed it! those big dudes at level 10 crushed me :p
I reqlly like the main mechanic, I wish I could retract the tongue in some way Also, you should change the text color on itch, at least on my computer, I can't read it over that background
the difficulty is pretty high, it took me 30 deaths to clear level 2 I'm getting a bit frustrated by hearing the same voice line every 2 seconds after I die, I would maybe cut it after a few tries overall, very beautiful game and the main mechanic is interesting, great job
Finished the game! it took quite a long time to start, and I didn't realise you could scroll down for a while, but when you start getting a bunch of upgrades, it becomes much faster, cool mood overall, congrats
I liked the mood of the game, the gameplay is simple, but effective
Sleep deprived, but I managed to get to 60cm, nice game, it's pretty fun !
Very nice, I wasn't expecting that kind of game when I read the theme, the scenes are very cute and the progression in difficulty well balanced
cool game, the difficulty curve is a bit rough, but it's fun
for some reason I couldn't summon the bigger guys because my skeletons were locked after putting down or so
A Strong entry, very enjoyable gameplay, if a bit slow at the beginning
While I enjoyed the graphics, I felt like the 8 directions assets of the boats (you can hardly do better in pixel art I suppose made the exact direction that they were going in a bit difficult to track (I think they move in more than 8 directions?), I would add some kind of visual reminder for that
This is an incredible submission, nothing to do with summoning really, but I absolutely love it
Great game, controlling the big pack of minions was super fun if I had to say a complaint, I felt like the music was a little bit loud in comparison to the other sounds !
very good atmosphere, but the 5 minutes limit was too short, I enjoyed the game tho !
pretty game, it's a bit difficult to play because of bugs, I got stuck right after the first enemy because my golem died and when I summoned it again, it was still laying on the ground
Incredible submission, the text based tasks were quite hard to do in comparison to the others, I ended up skipping them when I was seeing them
The game really reminded me of competitive pokemon, trying to get those sword dance going before destroying the opponent
I couldn't manage to not die straight after going into phase 3, the boss was hitting a bit too hard !
your file is empty, we can't play your game
I'm super bad at it, but I enjoyed your game
going away from the theme isn't particularly a bad thing, ending up with something unique is the most important, and I feel like you managed to do that :)
cool game overall, I wish the levels allowed for more combos and exploration of the usage of each combination of color, in other words, it was a bit short !
very pretty game, I found it quite difficult to remember the shapes you can use to cast spells when there are enemies around, you should add some visual reminder for them on screen (especially if you plan on giving a lot of them in a short amount of time)
apart from that, my only complaint is that the audio was super loud during fights
Overall, good job !
I enjoyed my time with the game, but I ended up going through the map at the stairs near the fire exit, but that's to be expected during game jams
my only complaint is that the music gets very repetitive and I really wanted to cut it off after a bit
Good effort overall, congrats !
Pas mal comme concept ! la touche d'humour est assez sympa pour rythmer les puzzles
it seems like I can't access your game by clicking your link (at least without signing up) would be nice to host it on itch.io or something like that
cool game ! I wish the sound design would help to let me know how cooked were the patties (changing the sounds the more it gets cooked or something like that)
Nice ! a simple and effective gameplay !
also, just to let you know, I had one guy appearing behind a bird cage that I couldn't shoot at all, no matter where I was aiming, in the 2nd to last screen
nice take on lethal company and co. bonus points for moment where you sell the items, I really enjoyed that
I really love the concept, very well executed main mechanic.
the jump height is the only thing that I disliked in the game I think, I would either go with higher, or no jump at all.
bonus point for the unzoom when you finish a level, seeing what you have built, it's really cool
215000 points ! I ran into a portal by myself because I was going to fast, very fun concept !
The amount of polish in that game is very impressive I particularly enjoyed the blue spell throwing my guy at people was fun
very good writing, that's an impressive entry !
psst psst
the game is pretty, but it's hard ! I managed to get Stony and bimp, but I don't understand what the 3 dots mean so I'm stuck !
the artstyle is really neat, the only problem I had is that the attack animations didn't really work all the time (I think when you jump) which was a bit confusing when I was trying to attack a bat in the air !
the yip noise when you jump was also a bit distracting :p
Incredible atmosphere, I absolutely love that kind of graphics !
I found a tiny bug, you can hear footsteps when the voice is talking to you if you keep pressing the movement keys
Fun idea, I really liked the visual !
I am very impressed by the quality of the game, I felt like I wanted more when I reached the end !
A minor complaint I could have is that I had a bit of a difficult time rearranging the teams before sending them to the dungeon, that part could use a dedicated screen if you end up doing something more with the project
I love the concept ! the artstyle is really cute ! I thought you were supposed to end the summon with the start at first, so I quickly lost my first game :p
Very impressive first jam submission, the levels are well crafted I kinda struggled to understand how to switch control between the golem and the wizard at first, a reminder on screen would be nice I also had a single tiny bug, sounds of moving rocks were playing when I was moving my cursor over the rocks !
the art was pretty cool, sounds like this game had a big scope !
the game is quite difficult, but congrats on finishing it !
I got stuck trying to summon a piece without being able to find a spot for it, interesting concept tho !
it's not my kind of game, but I appreciate the effort, is it what working with a computer in the 80s was like? :p
Fun game, I really enjoyed the concept and the mood was just perfect bears are op !
Not sure how the concept would handle many players at once !
I enjoyed the graphics and the sound based feedbacks, the gameplay is a bit rudimentary as it is, adding a way to spend your hard earned money on gameplay upgrades should probably be one of the next goals
there is a lot of bugs, some more annoying than others, you can shoot bats with your bow when they are behind you, the "end of level" trap door sometimes block the path even tho they don't look as big as they really are(made me lose a key), you can't pick up bombs, and ores that drop from rocks that spawn on you needs you to get away from them and then go back in to pick them up (it happened right at the start for me, so I didn't understand what they were for until I randomly went back sometimes after)
from a game design perspective, I would probably try to make the use of the pickaxe more dynamic, it doesn't feel super great to have to completely stop to hit in my opinion, and it's not very effective against bats either :)
but overall, I enjoyed the experience, I would like to see more of it in the future in case this project is going to be worked on :)
You guys are evil, this is so hard D:
cool music, tense gameplay, I wish I was good enough to pass those bullshit medusas over spikes, had to give up after 15 good minutes of trying :p could see it on steam with enough content !
So funny to play Holy hell, most innovative game I've seen so far !
same thing, couldn't play the game, @me when you fix it ! I'll play your game
the best game I've seen so far, could almost be sold on steam just like that !
Amazing polish !
love the way you give an incentive for people to replay your game by making them buy fishes, very addictive !
and I thought my game was original lol, oddly similar with yours, up to the name ! yours looks better tho, congrats ;) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/abyss-4
Pretty fun game, I really enjoy the tiny lines of dialogue that the hatched alien say, reminded me of terraria in some way the game is a bit confusing, some problems with the UI & lack of tutorial too, but still great !
Really enjoyed the game, good humor, pretty fun to replay to find all the endings, how many endings are there btw? I hope I didn't miss any !
I cannot launch your game by clicking on the .exe for some reason, it looks broken, please @ me here if you upload a fixed version, I want to play it !
Damn, that's really fun to play, I could absolutely see it on an arcade !
I love the art of the submarine :) the soundtrack gets repetitive very quickly tho, I played it for about 10 minutes, didn't reach the end. but still liked it, it remind me of Ecco the dolphin !
Hey, nice game, found a bug tho, you can get infinite "movement points" by taking and dismissing the worm next to "control a worm to quick get through the sticky mud", it doesn't respawn like the others !

I absolutely love the character and general visual artstyle !

Interesting mechanics, the obtention of new pieces is a bit slow at the beginning, I couldn't improve my grid significantly until a good few fights (somehow I was always getting useless pieces at the beginning, turning the wrong way, etc.) I had fun with it, good work !

I had quite a bit of fun with this one ! I loved the graphics, kinda found the projectiles to be a bit too difficult to avoid

I'm impressed with how well imitated the website is, really cool idea
