I loved the idea of using the mic to bring your ducklings to you. The graphics are simple but they do the job, they remind me a lot of old morning kids cartoons, for some reason. The problem of using a mic is the easy exploit of just touch the mic to make a lot of noise and have a big radius, but the game was really fun anyway.
This whole experience was an acid trip of a game. The lack of music really sucks but the voice acting really pays off! The gameplay loop is fun and challenging! If it had a infinite mode I'd be spending a lot of time in your game. Good job!
Really gun game! I think the theme of summoning cod be used in a more cretive way, but the game is so much fun I won't bother. It's a great puzzle game and reminds me a lot of Sudoku. The sound design and music create a weirdly eeirie mood that strangely fits really great with this game. Overall, very noice!
This game was hard to play in the touchpad but was a hell-lotta fun.Fighting against the hands force was really tricky and the sound creates such a great atmosphere. Hope you get all the ratings you need before the deadline
This game is really fun to play. I didn't really knew what to do at first, but I got the grip later on. It's simple but it's effectie on what it tries to do. And the soft piano keys when summoning a creature is really cool anbientation. Overall pretty good!
You madlad managed to make a card deck game for a game jam. And really, it was really goddamn fun. Especially the last boss, I really needed to strategize to defeat it. Consider me impressed.
I saw the screenshot and thought "Oh it uses ascii graphics" then I open the game and it IS AN ASCII GAME, IN MY COMMAND PROMPT, WHAT?! It is beyond me how you made something so cool, with such good puzzles in such a short time, with a fitting soundtrack, sound effects and with 9 smartass puzzles. I salute, oh mighty game developer. Now rest for the nights you slept have not!
Overall, a joyful, joyful time! The simple palette you choose for your graphics are just on point! The simple music creates a eerie yet mysterious atmosphere to discover what is that bigger thing you're devoting yourself to to. And in general, just loved how the story unravels to show everything the player needs to know. Really great game!
The puzzles are really cleaver. The pixel art is adorable and reminds a lot of old NES games. I think the only thing the could make this better is if this had soundtrack to create more mood to the game, but overall a great experience!
I don't know how a game can be humorous and create such a mood like this one did. The sprite work does the job wonderfully, and the game does great making the player aware of what he can do. I can't spoil what happens, play and discover yourself for such great experience!
Man, I never thought that the lack of music or sound could create such a moody enviroment. And the puzzles are really cool. Gret Job!
I really liked your game. The idea is really good but there's a bunch of problems that I can't oversee. As a pixel artist I think see the Kit Bashing here, I guess? Look man I don't know if you had these sprites hanging around and put it into the game to spare time, but the styles don't match with eachother. It looks good with the Gachas, but when the player sprite don't match with the enemies nor the enemies match with eachother neither the background, it really looks weird. Also the game play loop has some issues. I managed to hit the Due: 50000 only looping on 3 near gacha machines. The enemies drop way to many coins and have way to much life later on. A really good game idea but I wasn't so fond of. Just my opinion.
@blanketc Oh, ok then! Sorry if I sounded like I was hating on your art. It is just really awkward seeing all these styles that are so different in a single project. The thing I was most put off honestly is that while walking on the map I noticed that the trees were just flat, no depth, and that was the moment the art started falling apart for me. Again, sorry if I sounded like hating. :)
The game is really fun and requires some strategy. The graphics are simple, but they do the job so well. And the music really creates an atmosphere for the game, like this weird mix of anxiety and calm that somehow works. And the extra mana in the path and lifespam of the summons really add for the challenge.
I really liked the simple yet clean design that the graphics convey. The music as well really creates an atmosphere. And although the game is short, I found myself replaying levels trying to beat my personal best or trying to enter the global leaderboard. If anything, I think a tutorial would be welcome. Really noice!
This was made in 3 days? God this is beautiful. I'm dumb so I don't have the brain power to go far, but damn from what I could play this was amazing!
Damn, this is hard! It's like a new version of chess. And I'm all in for it. The isometic graphics are really charming to the overall experience. The music really fits the whole royalty theme as well. It would be fun if it had a online versus mode, but I think that's asking too much for a 72 hour game. How does this game still in the danger of not receiving a rating. This deserves to be seen by more people. Great job buddy!
This game was cool. I really dig the pixellated 3d aspect of the game. The music gets kinda of repetitive after a while. And on my first playthougth I was really lost, just later I noticed that I summon minions from enemies dead bodies. Then I started to enjoy the game again. But the sheer amount of enemies paired with the fact that you can't move while summoning really sucks. But overall a really great expiriece!
When I entered the game, I thought there was no music. Was just after I apocalypise'd the game I knew this was gonna be awesome. I got kinda confused in the beggining, but afterward I really managed to enjoy the game. You two did a great job!
Quite a fun educational game, I wasn't really expecting that. The graphics also carry some of that old educactional math games style, to some extent. And it can get quite challenging and stressful when numbers hugher than 15 start appearing. Overall, great game!
Esse jogo foi muito legal. Os puzzles com as plataformas foram bem criativos. As faixas de áudio também foram maravilhosas todo momento que tocavam, além da música que eu achei muito boa para esse jogo e os sprites, apesar de simples são muito fofos e realizam seu trabalho bem. E eu com certeza não tava esperando esse final. No geral, muito bom o jogo.
Another amazing Pico-8 game. This one is really good. The little dungeouns are really thought out, and some of the puzzles really made me use my brain. The music is moody but it sets the scene to a great adventure. The sound effects, althought I know they would be limited to 8 bit like SFX, couldn't be better implemented. And the controls, even thought I got confused a bit by that floaty jump, I could be more reliefed that it was like it. Really deserving of the top spot!
I LOVED THIS GAME. I like short session games with a good gameplay loop and this is just great! The movement, dodging and attack feel really good, to the point that when I died I never felt was the game fault for having many enemies on screen or the attack not working, no I thought it was my fault. And the more I played more I got better at the dodging timing. If I'd complain of something is that the special attack sometime feels underwhelming. But overall a really addicting, just straight up fun game!
I really liked how the atmosphere of the game is created with the simple pixel art and eerie background. The collisions thou and the physics in general are just not there. But for a first game with another engine this is pretty solid.
@deltamain Lol yeah.
@unchain Yeah, it does that. I need to sort that out. Hopefully I can launch a patch to the itch version to fix some bugs.
@rudra-nil-basu Thank you! I still think that I'll try to balance the capture zones in a later patch this week.
@rudra-nil-basu Thank you! I still think that I should've balanced the main mechanic a little better and same with the capture zones. But, oh well, maybe in a patch.
@wendel-scardua I'm actually trying to find a way to mitigate this. Maybe use a multiplier to entice players to go to harder difficulties, or maybe a wear-off that decreases the number of points that enemies give after so much in a single difficulty
@wendel-scardua @justcamh I released a patch that doesn't allow the player to stay in the same difficulty. If you reach three times the quota of trees value you'll be tossed to the next difficulty and penalized for the remaining quota not captured. I just need to add a warning so the playing isn't caught by surprise when this happens
@online-play I've decrease the area of spawn of the zones. Now it's less unfair.
@bastillas The lag is restricted for the web build. I have an idea why, but I couldn't fix this yet, so stick eith the windows build and you'll be fine.
@blackcat508 I've updated to hold to fire.
@themotleybrit The damage indicator I don't know if it is like pop how much damage you dealt but at least the enemies show they've been hit by blinking.
@unchain I changed it, now it only makes the shooting sound when the player shots, not the little minions. Hopefully that helps!
@rudra-nil-basu Now if you stand in any zones they will spin and shrink instead of fading away.
@squidly You get told in the beggibg now to capture trees and if you don't you get penalized for the trees not capture to your quota and get thrown to the next difficulty.
@shasaur I want to add that later, but since the jam is still running I can't make gameplay induced changes. Only QoL, bug Fixes and unintentional mechanics fixes.
@ategon Yeah, sure, no problem using footage of my game.
@mibi88 I didn't know that could be a problem. I'm going to add the option to with with both WASD AND IJKL.
@mibi88 I released the final version of the game today. Now you can play with IJKL, just select it when you begin the game. Have a great day!
Such cool concept! Everything in this game creates such a great ambiatation! And althought I couldn't really say I fully got the lore, that's something I think I could teorize and keep coming back to the game to get more details. AWESOME GAME!
The theme isn't that important. The game is really fun, even if it's just the tutorial. I really dig the graphics, big Vibribbon vibes and the game is just charming overall. I swear, if you finish this game and put it on mobile I would be playing it all day!
I really loved this game! Wesley and ArtManOil at it again. The WarioWare like gameplay is really fun and although I thought the same set of minigames would get boring quickly, I was more than pleasured to be wrong. The only thing I think could be better is the use of the theming "Summoning" but overall a great game!
This was a really cool game! I just had some trouble launching the game for the first time, but I sorted it our. Nice work!
I really liked how this game handled the theme, as well as the combat. It isn't your cookie-cutter combat, you make the thing that wants to kill you battle for you, that's awesome! And the graphics are so cute I want just to squish them. Well done!
The game is really cute. The Pixel Art is really well made. And the music you choose for the game really fit the Ghosts and Ghouls theme you were going for.I had problems with the resizing of the game, the html was way to big for my browser, and often I would just be shot by something outside the screen, but overall it was really fun!
Great Pixel Art and Sound Design. The game has a sort of difficulty, especially with the despawning blocks at times I can't know, but it's doable with a little bit of brain power. Differently from most people, instead of focusing summon purely to attack you put in in the main platforming and that's really cool! If anything I think coyote time would be nice along with a more generous block timer, but overall a really solid game. Congrats!
Eu realmente gostei como o sistema de batalha é, me lembrou muito do sistema de batalha de Mega Man Battle Network, muito bom. Sobre a dificuldade, vou ter que concordar com o gringo acima, ela precisa de um pouco de balanceamento. Mas no geral, a arte tava muito bonita, a música e efeitos sonoros foram muito bem implementados e, realmente criou aquela estranha atmosfera de ambiente de encontro. Muito bom!
The game is a good idea. But because I NEED a second player to play, I wasn't able to enjoy it as much as I would like. The graphics are cute, the music and SFX are on point, the rules to every card could be explained better but I can't enjoy your game to the max because I don't have a second player. Aside from that, really cool game. If you're able to keep developing it after the jam, I would be more then greatful to revisit your game.
I has a cool concept, and the art is really good but the purpose, the instructions, the objective to do something is what is missing, and that's the problem. I think you got too focused in making Overcooked in 72 hours that you forgot to add instructions for the player to know what to do. The overall is great, is just this that threw me off.
Damn this is a almost a 5 stars general for me. The graphics are really cute and overall just straight up great. The color pallete you choose is soft so it doesn't hurt to look at it. I really liked the difficulty of the puzzles and combat areas they are really good. And the music, GOOD LORD THE MUSIC, it's so charming, upbeat and just a great 8bit callback. The controls for the combat is also just perfect. If anything, it isn't a perfect game just because of the 2 platforming sections, because the game doesn't have coyote time it's really hard making those jumps with a annoying bat enemy on your butt. But overall a FENOMENAL GAME. Really hope you win or at least stay in the top of the ratings.
This game was just an all in at all points. The sprites feel like something straight out of newgrounds and actually the whole game passes this aspect. The gameplay loop is really adicting and I played for a good 40 min trying to beat my personal best score. I would really like this game to see even more polished version by this team. Great job!
I really liked how the game took the theme. The codes to summon the objects are not hard to remember and overall it's just a shot sweet game. But the lack of a music, despite how generic it could be (Like it is in my game) creates a vaccum of atmosphere for the game, you could have got a generic irish music and it would have been better. Also should make more clear that the player have more than one hit point. When I fell off the cloud on top a barrage of enemies I thought I was done for, but after not dying, I just brute forced my way thru.
It was a fun little game. The amount of controls were a little too much, maybe reduce them or assign them to other keys closer to the main keys like "Z" or "X" but overall pretty good!
The game starts really not that fun. With 1 hp, and a bunch of enemies spam, it really doesn't feel a lot fair to fight against these enemies. But afterwards, you can't die, and it's really amusing spamming fairies and see the enemies try to reach you. I think a little balaning on the game could be really welcome, but ay, what can ya do in 72 hours. Overall, good game!
@gimbusgruffus0907 I think it's a combination of mana regen and general damage output by the fairies.
I saw the graphics and thought this couldn't be that good. Could be more happy to be wrong, this game is clever, the music and SFX are on point, the atmosphere is amazing, the fact that the game stars you in a test room to play with your abilities is so cool, and the puzzles are so clever, I caught myself thinking on what to do more than once. Tho I will admit the graphics are not my cup of tea, I can still apreciate the work and trouble that went into creating such detailed sprites. Trully deserves one of the top spots of the jam.
This game was fun, relaxing and could very well be at a app store for mobile devices. The lack of music kinda suck, but the SFX are really good overall. And honestly, never would I rhink that a Match-3 game would be this good. You put a spin on the genre that I would've never stopped to think. Congrats.
I really liked how the puzzles were handled. And the graphics are so charming and go like a glove along with the music and sfx. Really cool game
The game is really good. Got a really good balance of hard and fun, and that's a hard thing to do! And it's really addictive trying to beat my high score. Great job!
This game is really good. When I first played I thought it would be a light-hearted game, but then the music kicked in, and the enemies started scrolling, and suddently I was tense. The everything but the graphics create such a great atmosphere for the game, that the graphics just enhance the overall like a bait-N-switch. Really fun!
The mechanic of summoning the enemies to kill the player is really fun. It adds a luck factor from the hero Ai that I think I can compare to the Dealer in Buckshot Roulette. And the music really sets up the mood. Very A-Nice
