Cat‘s Limited Space by Patrick Pang 2023-10-04T18:22:13Z

@pierre-marie Hi, I'm Patrick, the designer and programmer of this game. I'm thrilled and honored to receive your approval and advice, as this is the first review I've ever received for a game I've developed independently!

I'm ashamed to admit that I learned all the programming content of this entire game from Google on the spot, so that the game is full of many imperfections. For example, the reason that both WIN and LOSE can exist at the same time is that I haven't yet learned scene switching in Unity and chose to overlay a UI directly on top of the original scene. There is no restart button because I haven't yet learned how to trigger a click event on the UI.

I'll stick to Unity and C#, but I have a lot of midterms to prepare for in October and may not be able to update the version of the game in time for you.

Thanks again for your kind comments! Have a nice day!

Summoner Symbols by Sheepolution 2024-04-19T02:45:40Z

You Damn Riddler Get Out of Gotham! Hahaha sorry I offended. A very interesting game, with a full sense of immersion, and the character dialogue design is also very vivid. I think it is an exquisite game.

wiz by torcado 2024-04-19T09:44:48Z

A polished, complete and pure game. It fully meets my expectations for Game Jam works! I like it very much!

Project Missionary: The Reckoning of Hizzokahpolis by moonlightbomber 2024-04-17T17:40:38Z

A visual novel with depth and content, it looks like a complete work waiting to be put on the shelves. very good!

Devotion - A fairytale by daandruff 2024-04-19T08:38:07Z

A very unique and exquisite puzzle game. Well done!

Dungeon Summoner by magnusfurcifer 2024-04-19T03:13:42Z

Very creative design, the whole game looks abstract but full of fun. Also, the sound effects of the character talking at the beginning are really funny hahahaha

Waves of Chess by frozenfire92 2024-04-19T06:37:38Z

Simple, clean and interesting gameplay design. Well done.

SOME-MAN by OhFiddleDiddle 2024-04-17T17:03:43Z

A game that is so artistic that I dare not draw any conclusions easily (even though I gave it a very high score hahaha)! I have always liked such works of art (I think they are different from ordinary Tittytainment-games), and I think these types of games are full of experimental (and occasionally just right critical), worthy of the title of the Ninth Art. I've always wanted to make a game like this, and I confess that I've been incredibly lucky to be inspired by your masterpiece. A tiny suggestion, I wonder if you would like to add some subtitles properly, so maybe it would be more friendly to non-English native players like me~

Purrfect Stack by JPiolho 2024-04-17T17:36:14Z

Damn, I didn’t even click on the link before I couldn’t help but want to give it a full 5 star rating! It’s like a super cute cat version of Tetris, how could I not play it! And I think the cat tower is really full of joy when it falls down, and people can’t help but play it again hahahaha. By the way, I absolutely love your cats! Can you make stickers or models for sale? ! !

Depths of Hell by pres2300 2024-04-19T10:17:06Z

Very refreshing shooting sound effects, I like it very much! And the head with the pistol on it is too funny hahaha.

theGRIMOIRE_ by 0x0961h 2024-04-19T09:53:31Z

I really like the background music, it helps me immerse myself in the game even more.

The Ghost of Leo by kabloosh 2024-04-19T02:21:58Z

The few words have conveyed enough emotions, and the pictures accompanying the words are just right. It feels like reading a warm children's picture book, or reading Leo's owner's diary. I love this game.

Tonidachi by JSMCAG 2024-04-19T03:26:12Z

The devil version of Takuya Asako. Interesting concept.

Magical Michael's Summoning Salon by Re-Markable 2024-04-19T06:47:19Z

Magical Michael's voice acting is really earwormy and mesmerizing hahahahahaha. A very interesting game!

Unfamiliar by Untitled Studios 2024-04-21T09:02:12Z

A very interesting game, I really like the art style of the monsters!

Come By by the4thcircle 2024-04-19T08:50:07Z

PICO-8 always has its own unique aesthetic👍.

Arise, QWERT! by niterich 2024-04-19T03:04:24Z

Entering a name to summon a demon is an interesting concept, and I'm looking forward to the finished product of this demo. But I don’t know if it’s a problem with my operation. I can’t seem to delete the wrong letters input, which occasionally interrupts my rhythm.

Dachi in the Game World by yellow 2024-04-19T03:46:25Z

An extremely awesome game! Two familiar mechanisms combine to create a new and refreshing gaming experience, which deserves a 5-star innovation rating! BTW this little character always reminds me of Big G in the cartoon Doraemon hahaha

Elemental Surge by Foursay 2024-04-19T06:54:27Z

I like your art, especially the elements with expressions hahahaha!

Sketch-a-summon by sver 2024-04-17T17:55:30Z

The unique painting style brings a wonderful experience. The color scheme of the game was also novel enough that it kept me playing. Overall it's a very interesting game.

Sick of Summoning by cheesepencil 2024-04-16T17:17:18Z

A flipped version of Raiden.

Sick of Summoning by cheesepencil 2024-04-16T17:17:19Z

Games on the PICI-8 always have a unique charm. I love this piece!

Lord of Animals by ffffchai 2024-04-19T10:10:54Z

A very refreshing gaming experience! This reminds me of some danmaku games on Tik Tok, but your game has richer and more interesting content. I especially like its art, it makes people happy all of a sudden.

TechnoMonk RITUAL by Furano 2024-04-16T16:22:51Z

OMG I really like your art style，that reminds me of some beautiful boardgames I played with my family when I was a kid! BTW This kind of "convert the enemy to my subordinates" gameplay is really interesting lol.

Orion by Ben Toosey 2024-04-16T16:48:29Z

It’s hard to imagine that you completed this work alone! Exquisite graphics and unconstrained gameplay! So far I have played the game that best meets my expectations for this theme! I'm already looking forward to this game being released on Steam! Well done!

Summon The Waiter by PromZona 2024-04-16T16:27:02Z

I finally did what I've always wanted to do in real life! BTW the spinning cat is really funny lol.

Dungeon Summoner by Pomo 2024-04-19T02:56:31Z

A very unique tower-defense game (if this is considered tower-defense). I really like the design of "displaying the crystal's health value on the right arm". This idea is really charming. Also, your BGM is very powerful, I like it!

Sinful Scoops by Blue Pin Studio 2024-04-16T17:28:32Z

A very complete game. I've tried several draw-to-summon games, and yours is the most unique. I love this one.

Nightlife Necromancer by spiralhalo 2024-04-19T04:22:10Z

Super cool game! Dynamic BGM and atmospheric art style make up this wonderful game. What kind of brain does it take to come up with an idea like "Summon sexy skeletons in the hostess club" hahahahaha

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-15T05:38:06Z

Sorry, it seems that the game cannot run properly on this page. Please jump to the itch.io to play: (https://patrick-pang.itch.io/cat-summoning-terminal)

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-15T06:44:16Z

Could you briefly describe the problems you are experiencing? I will fix it as soon as possible. Thank you very much!🙏

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-15T20:36:55Z

@jtwcslm 😊Thank you so much! ! !

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T11:57:02Z

@thoastbot Thank you sooooo much! ! ! ! As a person who is not very confident, your comment gave me unprecedented positive feedback! Like an angel, you instantly cleared away my whole day’s fatigue! 😀Thanks again! ! !

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T13:15:38Z

@drgcandle I love your metaphor! My family and I are also big fans of cats🐱! Thank you for your compliment! !

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T13:37:21Z

@potatofinch Thank you for your love! I also like the crisp sound of ingredients falling into the bowl in your game. The most interesting thing is that they will also fall outside the bowl lol😀.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T16:52:23Z

@jbisnee 😀Immediately necessary!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T17:35:01Z

@mantsje Aha! I thought, "Those NPCs who make wishes will definitely be disappointed if they can't summon the cats they want!", so I made this judgment system😛 Thank you for the compliment!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-16T17:59:10Z

@cheesepencil I'm so sorry that I made it too obscure, please forgive me🙇‍And thank you very much for your tolerance and recognition. I hope I can make a game that makes you happy in the next LD!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T02:06:23Z

@niterich Great advice! The initial idea was to "set the cat's personality (just like the Nature in Pokémon!) so that the created cat would have different animations (such as sitting obediently or walking around🐈)." Unfortunately, due to time constraints, only the most critical gameplay could be made. Thanks again for your advice!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T02:14:18Z

@brainbetter Many friends have suggested that I should set up some examples to guide players. It seems that the novice level is imminent😛. You are right, "making players feel that their attempts are meaningful" is one of the things I have been trying to do, and luckily I succeeded! Thank you for your likes!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T02:19:21Z

@magnusfurcifer “nice” & “cozy ”, I love these adjectives you used❤️. Thanks!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T02:24:33Z

@saprina289 Great minds think alike!😆 I'll definitely have to give your game a try later!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T08:16:36Z

@thomaszane Add some typing sound effects! Such a simple but very effective method! When I update this game later, your suggestion will be the first to be adopted! Thanks for your advice🙏.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T15:45:24Z

@ohfiddlediddle Thanks for your advice! Many friends have given me similar advice about SFX. At first I didn't know much about music design and thought it might be a very difficult job. But your advice changed my mind! Thank you seniors for your suggestions and reminders!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T15:48:27Z

@tomas0725 Aha! Thank you brother, I am also a Chinese Game Jamer!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T15:53:49Z

@sarafilipa Thank you for your appreciation! I specifically chose a color combination that makes me feel mysterious but also comfortable, because I think it is very consistent with the impression cats give me🐱. I didn’t expect it to be liked by you too! My pleasure!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T15:55:48Z

@thatfirey So happy! Thanks for your patience in finding the right way to play it! Thank you!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T15:59:30Z

@jsmcag I like your suggestion and it makes me feel as if everyone who played my game was left wanting more. Thanks a lot!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T16:01:15Z

@freakyzelga Hahaha, then you must be a very reliable programmer! Thank you for your likes!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-17T16:05:06Z

@brogan-ward Thank you for your likes! I also discovered the problem you mentioned. For example, sometimes it is difficult for me to distinguish the k in my name "Patrick" from the letter h (and of course the letter x). They are exactly the same. I hope this does not cause too many people trouble🙏.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-18T12:02:47Z

@courtneylapin Thank you for your likes! I am flattered by your compliments on the UI design, thank you very much!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-18T12:08:23Z

@andrewkennedy Thank you so much! The design of indirect clues is also something I am proud of. Although it may be trivial, I feel that it makes the NPCs in the game more real and makes the game closer to life.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-18T12:12:35Z

@sudocoffee Thank you for liking Luna's story! I didn't realize until after the Game Jam that my instructions on how to play the game were not clear enough, so I urgently added extra descriptions below. Thank you for your tolerance for this game🙏.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-18T12:15:13Z

@yellow Hahahaha a ten thousand year old cat must be full of noble temperament!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-18T12:25:54Z

@sver I'm very sorry that I didn't make compatibility for dogs, I will try to make up for the cute dogs in the next game! In addition, thank you for your reminder about the exit bug in the web version. Since the web version usually cannot be closed directly like the desktop version, my original approach was to let the current page reload or return to the main menu page. But then I realized that this might cause players to lose some edited but unsent text entered on the current page (such as comments on itch.io), so I deleted this feature from the web version, hoping to get you understanding, thank you.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T01:46:16Z

@alessandro2024 Thank you for your recognition! I very much agree with your suggestions for new content, and I hope they can be updated into the game. But it is still in the rating period, and I am not sure whether updating my Game Jam works at this time will undermine the fairness of the rating. But no matter what, I am very willing to adopt your thoughtful suggestions. Thanks again!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T06:13:14Z

@foursay Hahaha thank you for your compliment! I must try your game later!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T09:04:05Z

@blue-pin-studio Thank you for your patience and tolerance🙏. I am really sorry that I designed its game goal to be too obscure. Perhaps a more intuitive expression of the tasks will make players less confused. Thanks again for playing!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T11:35:26Z

@congusbongus From a project management perspective, I think your suggestion is correct, and I suspect there should be a suitable framework. However, for Game Jam competitions that encourage improvisation, writing necessary code temporarily like this may also be a good choice. The only regret is that I do not yet have excellent programming skills to achieve higher development efficiency. Thanks again for the compliment!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T15:33:47Z

@untitled-studios Thanks for your appreciation!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-19T16:41:08Z

@helviett No problem! However, considering that it is still in the rating period, the rich update of the game content should affect the fairness of the competition, so I will update the game content on itch.io after the rating period is over (about early May). At that time I will add sound effects, new cat animations, and useful features like "back-i-search". Thanks again for your likes!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-21T08:18:58Z

@daniel-c Thanks a lot!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-21T08:21:52Z

@flying-dog-fish Thank you so much! I love dogs too and if given the chance, I guess I'd try to make a dog-themed game🐕.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-21T08:38:57Z

@henk Thank you for your likes! Regarding a couple things you mentioned: 1. After announcing the theme, I immediately thought of "creating a simulator for summoning animals" and developed it into what it is now. The mission system is just to make players feel that their actions are meaningful, so it does not take too much time to delve deeper(now it seems that richer content may be needed). 2 & 4. The original idea was to allow players to create animals other than cats. 3. I will update this demo after the rating period and add appropriate sound effects to it. 4. I didn't realize that I needed to upload the game source code, and I'm very sorry for my oversight. I've updated this page with the relevant Github link, where you can access the game's source code. Thanks again for your likes.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-21T08:40:59Z

@pres2300 Thank you for your recognition and suggestions! I think "Fulfilling Orders" is a very good suggestion, and if given the chance, I will improve this mechanism! Thanks a lot!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-22T06:51:53Z

@zirzak Thanks for your patience in playing my game, I really appreciate it!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-24T06:34:58Z

@okamit Thank you for your likes! I also realize that the game's guidance for players is slightly lacking. I will try to fix this situation after the rating period. Thank you for your feedback!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-24T06:37:11Z

@frozenfire92 oops I hope my poor guidance didn't give you too much negative feedback🙏. Thank you for your compliments and your patience in playing.

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-04-28T16:49:32Z

@mibi88 Thanks a lot!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-05-01T15:16:38Z

@jose-bonilla Thank you for your likes! I'm very sorry that I couldn't find time to work on music and sound effects within 48 hours. Other friends and players gave me a lot of relevant comments and suggestions. I plan to update the game with sound effects after the rating period is over, and of course, I will try my best to add some easter eggs. Thank you for your review again!

Cat Summoning Terminal by Patrick Pang 2024-05-18T15:02:47Z

Now, this game has completed some content updates:

1. Added typing sound effects. 2. Added Command History feature. 3. Added some standby reactions while cats are waiting for you. 4. And some insignificant little easter eggs.

Thanks again for playing my game!

Demanager by satacat 2024-04-17T16:24:08Z

I love your game so much that I even gave you a full 5/5 ratings in a very irrational and unfair manner! ! ! I've downloaded it and added it to my favorites! I have longed to perform such a ritual since I was a kid, just like in the cartoon Jackie Chan Adventures. Thank you for your game for making my dream come true. What a great team you guys are! BTW, I really love that alarm clock lol, it would be great if this whole set had models in real world. P.S. Go on vacation with Succubus is such an irresistible temptation hahahahaha.

Summoners of the Rings by Thoastbot 2024-04-16T15:47:17Z

This game is surprisingly deep to play. I can clearly feel the positive feedback of "the more skilled you are, the better your performance". The balance is great!

Phasebound by Kepsert 2024-04-19T08:59:02Z

Eye-catching game mechanics. Well done!

Chibble Nibbles by Brogan Ward 2024-04-17T17:58:16Z

Hahahaha Very interesting game, it reminds me of some tiny games I used to play on my mobile phone. It's fun and I love it!

Summoner Training Simulator by Brainbetter 2024-04-19T03:09:18Z

It really looks like some of the programming teaching software I use hahaha. Nice concept design, I love this game!

Vocatio by Mantsje 2024-04-16T11:18:49Z

Your game is very interesting! Although I have tried many games with similar mechanics (as we call them VampireSurvivor-like games here), Vocatio still brings me a sense of freshness and tension!

BTW, the Mario riding a motorcycle really made me laugh lol.

Chain Reaction by Ategon 2024-04-19T02:10:14Z

I really like the BGM and art style of your game. Your work is the most unique "draw to summon" gameplay that I have ever played. It reminds me of the Chinese word "cultivation of gu". I don't know how to explain this word intuitively. It is somewhat similar to arranging several monsters in a container, and these monsters will compete with each other and in the end only the strongest one will survive. This is a slightly dangerous and curious process, but your art design greatly dilutes these emotions and makes me feel a very interesting game.

Ghostslayer by ThatFirey 2024-04-19T03:23:13Z

I love the sound of bullets hitting the wall. A very interesting game.

Ancestor Rain by ELLISBUG 2024-04-17T18:03:48Z

What an interesting background setting lol! Although I'm a sucker for audio games, it doesn't affect my enjoyment of it (it's right that the game has built-in difficulty selection lol). Also, I love the happy expression on the frog’s face when the button is pressed accurately!

Draw to Summoning by Tomas0725 2024-04-17T08:29:34Z

Very interesting experience. "Storing spells for delayed release" is a great idea. Well done!

Summoner's Dilemma by sudocoffee 2024-04-19T03:54:50Z

The interface and UI are both very comfortable! Also, I really like the development log you recorded above, it really reflects the Game Jam process. Come on, I look forward to your future games!

Summon by jtwcslm 2024-04-16T16:03:04Z

Highly developed. Well done!

Reverse Rituals by freakyzelga 2024-04-19T03:32:25Z

A very interesting idle clickers. I have always felt that the numerical design of this type of game is very profound, so I never dared to try it hahaha. Plus, I really love my cute Joy Junior! ! !

Crystalline by TripleCubes 2024-04-21T08:55:41Z

A nice game.

Summoning the bigger one by AlxJE 2024-04-16T15:02:36Z

It feels like shooting spider silk when playing, especially the sound effects when shooting. Very interesting game!

Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools by DrgCandle 2024-04-16T16:10:24Z

It's a game that feels very comfortable to play. The Meta element is the finishing touch.

Summoner´s ritual by josang1567 2024-04-19T08:33:56Z

I really like this earworm and mesmerizing BGM hahahahaha!

Shapes of Light by felixx 2024-04-17T16:37:02Z

It is a game that is very smooth and comfortable to play. It reminds me of works like Hitman GO. I feel that you guys will also create such classics. I absolutely love your game!

Hell's Empty by jnw 2024-04-16T18:12:31Z

A very unique game, reminds me of Jump King. You handled the jump-feeling very well, looking forward to your next game!

still unnamed by jbisnee 2024-04-16T16:58:15Z

Don't worry bro. You can take a look at the demo I made in the last LD. It was my first time participating in LD, and what I made in the end was a disaster. But that doesn't stop me from moving on. I hope you do the same and look forward to your next LD!

bergs by burnttoastdev 2024-04-19T10:00:03Z

An excellent platformer game in all aspects. The mechanism is innovative and the level design is interesting. You deserve it.

NECRO RUSH by helviett 2024-04-21T09:18:42Z

I love your art design! If there were more game content, I would have more fun playing it!

Crafted Calamities by Sven Walter 2024-04-17T17:17:06Z

It’s a game with cool graphics, and the ritual of summoning demons always makes people feel curious and crazy, especially your BGM, which is full of mystery. Well done!

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-19T08:21:29Z

Once I figured out the rules, I spent the whole afternoon playing this lovely game. Damn it! Your cat game is so much more fun than mine, I’m going to vote you in first rating!

Fill the Void by PotatoFinch 2024-04-16T13:41:52Z

I like the crisp sound of ingredients falling into the bowl, which makes people always want to summon more, and they will fall outside the bowl lol.

The Summoning of IN-SI-LA by Dogshroom 2024-04-17T17:45:27Z

A game that I quite like from its style, music, text to gameplay design. I even think it just needs a little polish before it can be tried on Steam. Great job my friends.

Duck Spawner by Myse 2024-04-19T08:41:11Z

Interesting.

Lexicat - the word wizzard by muhyrla 2024-04-17T17:21:12Z

Hahahaha very cute game! The cat and enemies are designed so cutely by you that it makes people forget that this is a tense game (sorry I am typing too slowly lol) I love this game!

Adiego by cascadee 2024-04-17T18:07:53Z

Aha! I also tried the "accepting a task/mission and completing the task/mission through summoning" theme like you, but it seems that you did it better and with more content! I love this game!

Heaven Divers by ThomasZane 2024-04-16T17:54:02Z

Amazing spellcasting system. It took me a while to figure out how to play the game, but that doesn't stop it from being a fun game.

Summoner Armin's Bad Day by Alessandro2024 2024-04-17T17:27:23Z

A game that takes me right back to the beginning of the millennium. It also has some very funny designs hidden in it. I love it, and I have to say, the soundtrack is great!

NecroBit by comigor 2024-04-19T10:05:16Z

The unique graphics make the whole game look clean and comfortable. I love this game.
