LD55 — Summoning

My Pet Demon by ghost-in-the-toast 2024-04-16T04:47:01Z

Really enjoyed the game design, it pretty naturally nudged you into the goal the developers wanted, it does make me wonder if you can beat the game without resorting to certain forbidden methods. The game is super polished and the physics are very well implemented, it feels good to fling poop lmao Overall good job on the game ^^

Witches Fishes by OlavDeng2 2024-04-15T20:14:19Z

Would be a good idea to highlight the fishing rod, I ended up running around trying to figure out what to do for around a minute lol

Map size could also be a tad smaller.

Interesting concept though and with a bit more polish it would end up being pretty neat.

Pitchfork Pandemonium by AndideBob 2024-04-16T14:10:07Z

Really solid and polished entry, great job ^^

I really enjoyed the spawn timer at the top, it helps the player make more informed decisions which is pretty nice.

Blood, Sweat and Seals by Achiru 2024-04-16T14:02:04Z

I really enjoyed the drawing aspect, almost reminds me of trauma center with the pentagram.

I honestly would love to see this concept as a more featured game.

Necrogeddon by Wargon 2024-04-16T00:04:49Z

The art-style is really interesting and feels like it sets it apart, I really enjoyed the core gameplay loop albeit might need a bit more tuning, great job!

Shenanigans at Schmendy's by Cope 2024-04-16T13:10:45Z

I really enjoy the voice acting here lol

Good job ^^

Bone Massacre by Peverick 2024-04-15T23:16:46Z

The movement feels super fluid and the movement is crisp, good job!

SummonInn by Daxic 2024-04-15T21:14:07Z

Really fun concept and already has a ton of depth already, good job ^^

Skelly the Braven't by StormSword 2024-04-15T20:18:14Z

The itch.io page is empty, might wanna look into that if that wasn't intentional.

Skelly the Braven't by StormSword 2024-04-15T20:37:37Z

Good luck! I'll check it out once its out :p

Aldoria's King by Locke8 2024-04-16T13:39:20Z

Pretty interesting idea, one thing that would help with game flow is if the level ended a couple of seconds after defeating the last enemy. I enjoyed playing it, good job on the entry ^^

SUPER SUMMONBALL ARENA by stefans 2024-04-15T23:35:06Z

I cant help but notice a folder with a "DoNotShip" on it :sweat_smile:

Date Summons by Pokopish 2024-04-16T13:53:02Z

Super solid entry, the boss design was really well put together, the soundtrack was good and the art-style was cute. I enjoyed my time with the game, good job!

Hat vs Evil by minjutin 2024-04-16T13:22:47Z

Really interesting concept that has a ton of potential.

I think it'd be kinda nice if spawning in items was bound to a different key and having a little x on the top right of the buy menu to be able to leave.

Otherwise really solid and I enjoyed my time with it.

Summoning the bigger one by AlxJE 2024-04-16T14:16:05Z

Really interesting mechanic that would make for a really interesting featured game, great job ^^

Baphocat by onqdll 2024-04-16T00:23:14Z

The UI design and art is incredibly nice, and the core loop is fun.

The readability for the text was a slight struggle for me, and the difficulty and money ramps up a bit faster than I'd personally like.

Great job overall, I can tell that there's a ton of polish behind this and I think that's pretty commendable.

mouche(s)? by PieRo_PBeS_studio 2024-04-15T19:47:17Z

I think it would've been nice to have the box a little closer to spawn but otherwise a really fun and interesting game, good work ^^

Devil's Advocate by Spectra 2024-04-16T05:15:40Z

I really enjoyed the art style and the writing was pretty solid too.

You have been summoned... by Zynoq 2024-04-15T21:02:41Z

The data folder is misnamed, and atm I get locked into the place after the first encounter.

Little Armies by Aditigro 2024-04-15T19:34:10Z

Pretty solid framework that I feel could easily added onto for a pretty fun game, good job ^^

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-15T19:44:16Z

Summoning during the game would be fun I agree, more special abilities would be good, just a bit of a nightmare to balance lol, thank you for the suggestions ^^

I was gonna make it more difficult but was slightly worried about soft locking potential gamejam reviewers lol Maybe a difficulty option would've been a good idea

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-15T19:57:53Z

@leozero I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-15T20:31:36Z

@olavdeng2 Thank you for the feedback! I was gonna initially implement having your summons be killed, but realized I didn't quite have it in my time budget. The one time summon idea is interesting though and sounds like it would add a fun layer of interactivity.

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-15T23:42:56Z

@osheanoush I'm glad you like it!

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-15T23:43:41Z

@tollona :crab::crab::crab: I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! :crab::crab::crab:

The Smallest Warriors by UmU Dev 2024-04-16T18:21:06Z

@minjutin hilariously enough I do love crabs and even saved crabs from being eaten as a kid, I just needed a random enemy to fight and was gonna include different bosses but ended up having to make it entirely just crabs to save time.

Celestial Summoner by mollusk 2024-04-16T13:31:11Z

Enjoyed my time with the game, for some reason the witches didn't spawn when I picked them which is a bit of a shame. Good job!

Spooky by TheMaxi7 2024-04-15T20:01:20Z

Should probably upload a executable version, I am unable to play the game on the page. Seems to be missing it's index page at the moment.

Who Summon Crazy Delivery Guy? by JIMUU 2024-04-16T04:09:22Z

I think it would be nice if you had more objects to run into and they were less spaced apart, otherwise a pretty neat concept.

Haunted House Survive by Ofek 2024-04-15T20:04:46Z

Fun concept! I think it would be interesting if you were able to cancel the possession state, it would allow more fluidity in positioning since you don't know where the enemy spawns.

Haunted House Survive by Ofek 2024-04-15T20:55:10Z

@ofek No worries! I played it again and it's a pretty fun skeleton (pun intended) to build on top of, I think adding a area around the player in order to prevent being spawn killed would be a nice QoL.

Some adjustments to the way that the summon material -- such as making it work on a timer would prevent accidentally being completely helpless at the start, either that or increase the initial enemy wave would help with game feel a lot.

The movement feels solid and I really like the idea so far, great job!
