LD55 — Summoning

Faust's Big Deal by Shugor 2024-04-17T14:01:52Z

A very fun little game that I hope gets developed further as there's definitely something there. The vibes I got from this game were great, the art is pretty and the soundtrack fits perfectly! Most of my issues (Camera and hard to see pickups) were already addressed so I don't see the need to comment on these any more since they're small problems that are natural to happen in a jam setting. This sure as hell plays more like a demo than a jam game and you did an amazing job in the little time you had! Should this get a release I would definitely check it out ;)

The Weaver from the remote hamlet by Tyrannas 2024-04-16T19:09:10Z

I really, really like the art in this one, and the idea is lovely. It took me a while to figure out what exactly each rune does in order to properly get to the node I wanted to, but once you get the hang it turns into a quite fun puzzle game! Really enjoyed playing this, good job!

Luminaries by superjai 2024-04-16T17:04:23Z

Really cool art, I love how you played with illumination and different light sources here! The gameplay loop does get kind of stale fast, some more added variety on screens (more than auto-gathering and producing) would help immensely!

Eldritch Vessel Academy by tomrijnbeek 2024-04-16T09:32:46Z

Lovely idea, great execution. The timer could maybe be made a little bit shorter as I barely ever felt stressed because of it, but that's my only nitpick. The self referential humor of the the two protagonists is great!

Tristram by Rongo Matane 2024-04-16T18:13:49Z

Beautiful Graphics, Sound Design and overall vibe. Super impressive game. It feels satisfying to just look at the litthe heroes duke it out inside the dungeon. Mad props to everyone involved, you guys killed it.

Streets of Mage! by Human Writes Code 2024-04-17T09:18:32Z

Overall a fun little game, as mentioned by others the killcount could probably be decreased and a few more goblin varieties with maybe different attack patterns would freshen things up a bit (of course that is hard to achieve within the limited time-frame). Another thing that could help is adding a small cooldown to the dodge so it's not abusable anymore. Other than these little pet peeves a very enjoyable experience. Praise Tenticolor!

Oil Creatures by krakadushka 2024-04-16T18:50:58Z

I really enjoy the art that's being used and overall the game was enjoyable, if maybe a bit too long. I feel like the melee units are mostly cannon fodder before you can get some points into movement and by that point the tower has enough damage to kill them quite easily, this means it's a constant back and forth with getting enough stats for your units so the hard hitting ones (axe) can reach the tower, but by that point the tower has likely evolved again making the upgrades "void". This had me rely on the ranged units mostly!

This is a simple balance pet peeve however and doesn't take away from the fact that I had a bunch of fun trying to min-max strategies to get the tower lower, fast. Overall a really enjoyable little game, good job!

Summon World by Itskdog 2024-04-17T11:47:31Z

Really impressive game for such a short period of time. I personally enjoyed just watching the villagers go about their business and filling the land with various thing almost as much as tearing it all back down again ^^

Billy's Band by picross 2024-04-17T10:43:07Z

This game feels like and absolute fever dream and I'm all for it. Once I summoned Freddy Fazbear I almost lost it. Good stuff.

Blort's Big Adventure by koboldskeep 2024-04-17T10:08:30Z

Great twist on classic platforming, great humor and art direction as well. I had a lot of fun with this one, great work!

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-17T13:54:48Z

I really dig the super unique art-style. It really makes the game stand out. The concept is also really fresh and very well executed, a nice spin on the match game formula.

BLOOD DRIVE!! by Saffwong 2024-04-17T13:47:51Z

Incredible voice acting and overall a super fun game! My only gripe with it is that it's kind of hard to tell if a car is destroyed or still active at a glance (especially since there are some without headlights on). Other than that it was a bunch of fun.

The Unsummoning by Abstruse 2024-04-16T17:11:24Z

The art direction is stunning, too bad I have to look away from my screen constantly to find the correct letters ^^

Maybe this game will finally teach me to touch type properly, it also helps that it makes me go out of my comfort zone by having to type words I'm not familiar with. Overall a fun little typing game!

Election Occult by Noah Lovelace 2024-04-17T09:25:33Z

A funny, silly little game. Starting on a meme like that and ending on a finished, playable product is not an easy task. Good job!

Shadow Summoners by Shenon 2024-04-17T11:41:43Z

First of all the art is great! However I do have some nirpicks, the overall gameplay I understoon quite quickly with the ingame "Keys" menu, however it'd be great to see which summon I have selected and its cooldown as well as Wave Timer (seeing how many enemies I have to defeat). Other than that it's a great game, especially for a solo dev, good work!

Demon Business by Dagunov 2024-04-16T09:08:02Z

Overall a really cool idea! I had to play around a bit to figure out that you need to navigate back to the laptop with the demon present in order to send it out, so that gave me a bit of a headache but once I did figure it out it was easy going. Good job on your first Game Jam game!

Harvest Festival by Sampai 2024-04-16T10:53:54Z

@outstar Thanks for the feedback, it's greatly appreciated! And also thank you for the heads up/guide for the GoDot fix, we will work on that in the evening. In terms of map bounds and the dialogue issues, we know that it is a bit "unprofessional" but we simply didn't have time to add fixes for these anymore at the end of the timeframe, since these are mostly cosmetic rather than gamebreaking. :(

Regarding your question about content in the second loop: This doesn't exist perse, but there is a secret boss fight you can trigger by fulfilling certain conditions. These might not be obvious at first but I can tell you that they involve reading as well as having a tool to defend yourself with. ;)
