Very challenging puzzler, a bit too much for my tastes, but it's good! I really like that you can kinda play out what each creature will do in advance. Love the setting too, great idea!

The personality of this game is on point, love the laser pointer.
Interesting submission! I didn't grasp the fact that you're playing cards for both sides at first, but it's a unique take on a card game. The zombie deck does seem quite OP, and there could be a big more info on how the game works as a whole. That said I enjoyed it, great work!
Loved this, very pikmin like! game could have done with a bit more signposting on where the summons go, but otherwise a fun time
This is probably one of the funniest submissions I've played, with a banging track in the background. Also, the gesture system is amazing (using a trackball worked great!)
Really love the art! I get stuck in what I assume is the tutorial, after putting the dice into the pointed slot, i can't seem to get past the arrow to click into the world (seems the skeleton already appeared?). I'm on windows running the exe. dicing-with-skeletons.png
/s Never have I felt more attacked for using a trackball
This game's vibe is super chill, I really like it! The art is so cute, and I like the drawing mechanic, it's very vibey, great work!
I really like the visual effects it's beautiful, and the simple track playing in the background really sets the mood, it's great! I do feel like the pathing of the bee could use some more explanation, as there's times it seems to not do what I would expect it to do, or maybe I'm just not smart enough...
Really like the UI touch to look at the types of monsters in the bestiary, love the humor with it too! Wish there was a way to track my previous failures, but otherwise i liked the simplicity of the game!
@flogram Thanks for finding that! just pushed a massive bug fix!
@kanity As the programmer, thanks! I feel really seen!! Thank you! And Thanks for the thorough comment! We chose gamemaker thanks to chatterbox, and boy did I suffer through that UI. Those buttons you found are a hilarious case of 'i don't want to touch it while it (mostly) works' but I'd probably remove them in the patch.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! We have ideas of how to expand it, and we'll keep the itch page updated if we do!
Love the game! so ambitious!! got stuck after combat when talking to a golem named Niko. child-of-ruin-stuck.png
Love the art style on this, definitely a fun time!! Game could have benefited from something that would mix it up (give you more time, etc) but I am really impressed by the quality of the animations on it, and how many you have, well done!
