As someone who greatly dislikes math this was surprisingly fun! A refreshing take on the theme, good job!

The visuals and music are nice. The dungeon controls are a bit confusing, the camera makes you a bit dizzy. Keep up the good work!
Interesting game, I kept getting the same creature a lot of times so I ended up with only 3 different creatures at the end. Maybe finding a way to keep tabs on the rituals already summoned would help? It was cool nonetheless.
What a cute game! The minigames were really fun, I did had a bit of trouble with the cauldron one at first but I figured it out. I think having a summoning circle under the creatures and them being completely black before finishing the tasks would bring out the theme more (and give a sense of surprise). Overall a nice game!
It was a really fun play! As someone said before, it might be less frustrating if the pages were in a loop rather than having to go all the way back. Keep up the good work!
Even thought it's unfinished I really liked the idea. Looking forward to your progress with this project! :)
The graphics are so darn cute!!! Loved the game, I had to play it 3 times to get them all but seeing them safe and sound was worth it. Very nice approach on the theme, good job!
Huge fan of the horror genre so this was really fun! I did had a hard time with figuring out the combos to make it harmless and had to give up at some point π . Also I'm not sure if it was intentional but the ghost image changes sometimes and it was a bit confusing at first.
The art and sound are awesome! Good job!
Made it to floor 13th. It got a bit easy at some point, I think a mana system would help. Good job!
hi, how do you install this? I tried opening the folder but I don't see any executable.
The graphics is really interesting and unique, I liked it! The controls felt a bit rough and the collision on the enemies was not very forgiving. Overall it is a good entry, good job!
The game is really captivating and the art and sound is very well done! I don't usually play this type of games but I can see myself playing this again in the future! :)
Really fun turn-base combat! It was a bit difficult figuring out the laser's area of damage. Nice work!
Really cool atmosphere!
It is surprisingly addictive and fun!
This was such a fun game! I managed to get to the sandwich in my second try. I did notice that in the beginning I'd get more add-ons than later in the game, I don't know if it was just random but It would have helped for it to be the other way around when the difficulty increases too. Good job!
The illustrations are really beautiful, it is an immersive experience. Well done!
That's a really cool combat mechanic, it was incredibly fun to play it! You're right to be proud you did a great job!
Cool idea, the art really suits it and the controls are great, had a lot of fun with the fury mode on!
Really cool concept! It was all fun and games until upside down words came along :)). As someone said before I think it would be better to be able to text any word not just the bottom one. Good job!
Foarte super ideea, imi place mult cum ti-a iesit pixel artul! Mi-a dat vibe de Gandalf pierdut in minele din Moria :)) Bravo si mult noroc in continuare!
I enjoyed the puzzles, got stuck at some point though. The overall mood is well done and the graphics and sound is nice!
What a fun and immersive experience! Love the atmosphere and the folklore vibes, the graphics are well done and the level design is really well thought! You guys did a great job with this one, would love to see more!
Ah yes, classic corporate horror. It was fun to play! :)
The pixel art is so nice and well made, I had a lot of fun playing this! It is a solid game, would love to see how you progress with this project (maybe ghosts with different likes or dislikes or a timer/minigame to keep the ghosts summoned?). Keep up the good work!
I liked the movement and idea behind it! If it had a cooldown or any type of drawback for the ability It would have been a more challenging and great experience. Good job so far and keep at it!
This is such a beautiful game! The sound is amazing and it has such a nice atmosphere. I did had a hard time with the difficulty but the wonderful art and music kept me going. The only thing I would have preferred was if the notes had more contrast or a different colour to the background (was difficult to concentrate on them at some point). Great game!
Nice approach on the theme! I had a bit of trouble with the time aspect of it, maybe a turn-base mechanic or some kind of timer between each spell would help? I see a lot of potential in it, keep at it!
It was a fun story! I'm really bad at math and didn't score great so the future of the book is in bad hands :)) Nice game!
The music is really well done and the graphics are pretty cute! At the last level I did end up going between only two of the circles since all of them would go out at similar times, it just made sense. Maybe making it so it's more beneficial to not repeat them as often would help? Overall great game, good job!
It's a very adorable game! Loved the puzzles and it feels very complete, overall a solid game. You've put a lot of passion into it, great work!
The art is really nice! The assets are lovely but as you move things become a bit of a blur and it gets harder to understand what is happening ,there were moments were the screen would get way too crowded too. Maybe giving the player a different colour and giving the ground a darker gray might help? Overall it was a fun experience!
I liked the overall feel of it, the art is cute too! I did find it a bit frustrating that I couldn't see my cooldown π Maybe make the red icon slowly fade or have a number on top?
Saw you guys on the feed page and had to check out the game :)). The graphics are nice and the controls feel pretty good, overall it was a nice and chill experience. Good work!
It has a really nice atmosphere and the art is cute, it reminded me of "cats are liquid". Keep up the good work!
A really nice take on the theme and the controls feel pretty good too! The only thing is that I would constantly press "R" instead of "T" since R stands for restart in my head :)) A really fun game with really cool mechanics, good job you guys!
This is a pretty fun game! It took me a bit to understand exactly what I was supposed to do, having a grace period at the start to get used to it could help. You could also have it to choose the summons on click as well rather than having to q - e your way all the time. Good job!
It's a really cute game! Didn't manage to beat the boss, couldn't time my demons good enough to beat it in time π . Cool work!
I like the idea and the puzzles! I got stuck at some point with the crab thought(I know you said there were some bugs), I'm not sure if he is supposed to do something(maybe explode given how he looks?) Tried a few time but gave up eventually. Overall it has a nice feel, good job!
It was a fun play and the art is nice! Good job!
Not big on card games but I found myself finishing it and actually having fun. I didn't know your summons will disappear after hitting it so a rule set before playing would be appreciated. Having said that good idea on it, makes you want to think a bit before summoning in order to be as economic as possible. Good job!
Awesome! I had a lot of fun playing it and the visuals are very well done! Great job you guys!
Very cool hand drawn art! I would have loved more variation but overall it was a chill and enjoyable gameplay.
Never thought reading contracts could be this fun! I enjoyed the game, good job!
This was a really fun and surprisingly chill experience even with the not so soothing voice. Amazing voice acting and passion went into this, good job! Hope the cat got treats afterwards :))
Nice concept! The bats would sometimes get out of the map and I'd be left alone to fend for myself π It was a fun playthrough, good job!
Thank you everyone @niighty-nine, @eonarheim, @porchor, @vkonstantin, @foxwindler, @fopie, @alldee, @zklau for all these amazing feedbacks! We're really glad to hear that you've enjoyed our game! Ps: Our pigeon is very thankful as well! porumbel.png
Oh how I wish I could call for a friendly witch to fight my inner demons...Wonderful idea and art, the music is lovely and so are the characters! Great job everyone!
Cute game! Didn't really feel the theme but the controls are great, the art is minimalistic but cute and the sound gives it a very whimsical feel!
Nice visuals, the cats are really adorable, the controls are a bit difficult though. It was fun, well done!
The art is beautiful! It did feel like it was a bit too easy, maybe a timer on each order would work? Good job!
Fun game! I got bugged at some point where the arrows wouldn't disappear and the timer got stuck so I had to reload the page. The art is cute, good job guys!
I was feeling pretty proud of my 228 score until I saw the scoreboard T_T Great game! I did lost my cursor a few times so maybe finding a way to make it more visible would help.
Simple yet clear and fun, the only problem I had was with the candles part. I've realised that I had to do them in order only when the room lit up, made me think it were some kind of bug at fisrt. Maybe a visual or sound clue would work? Like if you try to light the wrong one it says that it refuses to light or something like that. Good job, really cute play!
Such a cute and fun game, the sound design is amazing! Loved everything about it especially the mouse's little nom noms!!! π₯Ή
Really cute game, a nice take on snake! I did notice that the enemies would spawn only when I took the shooting type add-ons, I don't know if it was intentional but If I were a hungry snake I would just eat and make sure for the bad guys to not spawn :)) Good job on your entry!
The art is really cute and the voice acting is top-notch! Maybe the critters could despawn after sometime? The trampoline kept getting covered in critters and I had to restart a few times. Really cute concept!
That spider looked really friendly, it was really fun playing with him. You did a great job with the atmosphere, this was a very nice and relaxing play, good job!
I had so much fun playing it! Their names are so cute and the dialogue is amazing! Had lots of fun completely obliterating the final boss just to come back and do it again with the big sword. I think it would have been more comfortable to move with w a s d or arrows rather than the mouse though, it felt a bit annoying at times. Good job, a really fun and cool entry!
This was so cool and for you first entry too, just wow! Who knew human experimentation can be so fun! Looking forward to some sound effects if you're continuing this project! :)
The text before the levels is a really cool way to bring more personality to this world, awesome worldbuilding! I don't know really what the flies did to find itself in such a situation as the last level but it was a fun challenge! Nevertheless I've failed. Good job!
Weirdly eerie yet cute! my time was 224:20. Would love more control over going left or right :))
This was such a fun game!!! It took me a bit to get used to the driving, my best was 24 mail collected.. We also made a mail collecting game. :))
LOVE THE CAT!!! I kept sliding around like a maniac but got the hang of it eventually, I just kept the knights on the doors :)).
I almost cried at the end, very touching. Really fun!! Has anyone tried to walk the whole distance? :))
Hiiiii, thanks a lot for all the feedback!!! We want to keep working on this game and every help counts, well post updates here and on itch in the near future.
@emilija-marija Will make our pigeon coo at the microphone for the future updates!!! :))
@kate666 Yeah, I'm not very used to making pixel art yet and wasted so much time on the houses that I had to cut corners with other assets :)), will polish up the art more in the near future!
@archaeognathus THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIGEON!!!! Never had pigeon pizza, will ask our pigeon if she's interested.
@wuppos Thanks for letting us know!!! The letter spawn rate was randomized and because of that we overestimated the average time it would take. :))
Really cute! I didn't manage to survive long enough to level up the obsidian sword in order to use it so I kept using my diamond one.
Any game with birds in them is an instant win for me. Loved the idea, maybe too much power for a chicken but then again, I like chicken.
