LD55 — Summoning

BergmÄl by Ava Skoog 2024-04-16T18:27:49Z

Super cool submission. I admire that you tried to make something more serious, and it works well. It's a really intriguing scenario, and the style of the visuals and audio both draw you in. It did take me a second to realize that I was combining two details from the photographs to ask the couple, but I think maybe having something under the game point that out may help some players. Otherwise, my only complaint is that a splash image on the LD page would help people see this! You did an amazing job, I would love to see this kind of idea expanded on.

One of my favorites so far as well! The art is great and the whole concept is funny, the squeak toy violence made me laugh. Something that tripped me up at first, was that I couldn't figure out that multi-part recipes needed the different monsters summoned -at once- before being killed (which I throw out there in case anyone else has the problem). Awesome submission! Those backgrounds look rad!

Everything about this is super interesting! My biggest limitation was my brain power. The look is incredible, and it's really fun, how powerful all the spells feel. The scoreboard is a really cool addition. I enjoyed the music a lot too!

Cultists on ICE by Pusheeneiro 2024-04-16T02:32:37Z

Awesome idea! The first demon that requires 4 lines kicked my butt

Summoning the Demonning by GroseilleDodue 2024-04-16T18:59:40Z

It has a great look, and the summoning mechanic works really nicely!

Horrors from Beyond - The Bayou by GameDevTraum 2024-04-16T02:08:39Z

Nice audio! The enemy design is rad, too

Spawn Shop by Donamougou 2024-04-16T19:36:57Z

I'm impressed that the demons' descriptions both told you how to summon them, and what purpose they served. That's really clever! It was fun figuring them all out. Also... I really don't want to imagine the Peking Demon that man is going to cook... (it was a very funny moment, though)

Fall of the Ritual by davidkbd 2024-04-17T02:40:30Z

I really like the array of abilities! It feels good to control, if tricky at first, and the music is great. Very fun game! Screenshot.png

STACKED by Its_Capp 2024-04-16T02:15:17Z

Love the presentation and the music, super clever idea. I had a hard time getting my fighters to intercept threats, though

Summoning Circles, Á La Carte by Matt Blake 2024-04-16T02:47:22Z

It was fun to figure out all the different configurations, but I couldn't manage to make the shoe elf work

@lady @manatee-webster @gamedevtraum Thank you for the kind words!!

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-16T04:00:02Z

@pusheeneiro I hadn't even thought of Tamagotchi, but you're so right

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-16T04:00:45Z

@doonutsaur The balloon does look tempting up there!

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-18T03:43:54Z

@prcastro @judjudson I understand both sides too well... Thanks for playing!

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-18T03:45:59Z

@donamougou You're probably right! I found myself doing rounds for ceramic eventually, and then it felt like speed was the limiting factor. Much love for the feedback, and thank you for trying it out!

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-18T03:48:23Z

@framboisedodue @mongoose-59 For some reason the experience being difficult makes me laugh about it more... The wizard can barely even do this much right.. (and ty for the responses!)

Slumlock the NEET Summoner by mcmuniz 2024-04-18T03:53:27Z

@gmiss Thank you! Our friend Jake did the splash art! @kirass I appreciate the kind words! @trux I love the idea of magic being used so wastefully... Thank you so much for playing!

Imagining Dragons by Falk Hoeppner 2024-04-16T02:59:41Z

I really enjoyed this! There's a nice flow between the level and the bosses

Bone Caller by SlaQr 2024-04-16T03:08:58Z

It has a great look, and that's a fun idea for summoning. All the enemy models look awesome

Genie Cleany by Neandi 2024-04-16T03:23:57Z

Love everything! And it looks beautiful

Rendezvous by john-clemente 2024-04-16T02:51:22Z

This is a really good interpretation of the summoning prompt, love it

Legend of the Chef【Let's summon food > by AUGuess 2024-04-16T18:15:55Z

This was a fun game! The art is really, really good, and I laughed at how chaotic the fight got. The opening cutscene was cute, too. Great submission!

Aurora's Ascendance: Orbs of Destiny by Unbreakable 2024-04-16T19:45:05Z

This was fun! There's something very satisfying about luring the enemies onto your spells as they cast, and the boss encounter was engaging. That splash art looks awesome, too.

NecroBit by comigor 2024-04-16T19:18:02Z

The level was designed really nicely, it does a great job teaching you on the fly. Fighting the beholder was really engaging, and the game just feels great to play. It also feels like you all made good decisions around where to spend your time, all the design choices feel super smart!
