Fun game, nice idea. Got to the end :)
Very nice game. Ive found a lot of games this jam have leaned into the idea of memorising spells as a challenge and this game does that well. Very satisfying to remember the combination for a particular unit off the top of my head!
The only criticism I really have is that the collision seems a little rough sometimes, it seemed like my rune slingerse and fire mages weren't dealing damage sometimes. This might just be an issue with unit stacking though, it didn't seem to affect much.
Good work!
I found this very difficult due to my skill issues, but I played it a few times and had fun ^^ I love the audio inparticular! Really outstanding compared to what else I've played this jam
This game is awesome! I couldn't beat the boss at the end but I'm definitely going to come back and try it again. The variety and quality of ways you can use your demon summon makes this game an easy 5 star
This is really nice. Would love to see it expanded into a fuller game if that ever happens

This was fun ^^ Got the egg To be honest I just enjoyed skimming through to see all the different familiars you can get. The art is so nice and I love all their designs sm
This was really fun! The audio got a bit much especially towards the end but I enjoyed the strategy in attacking certain parts of the kingdom and guding your creatures to attack all at once with proper placement. Having the units contrast better with the terrain would be nice too, but ultimately really nice I enjoyed it a lot!
This is super neat! I'm really loving the RTS style games, and I love the capture/conversion mechanic in this. The lack of pathfinding through buildings is about the only problem I had and it was easy to work around. Awesome game!
Edit: I totally didn't realise there were more levels. I get to keep playing! The sacrifice cards are great too, fun choices and weighing up if its worth sacrificing dudes for em
Nice game! There are a lot of similar games this jam, about guessing summoning ingredients. But displaying precise cause-effect relationships made this way more fun for me and added a layer of strategy that was properly engaging. Good job!
@alliegator Hey, sorry about that! The downloadable version is a .zip file.. but if it's not working you can always try the itch link to the web upload?
@monika I can't believe we didn't think of that. If we do a post-jam version that's absolutely going to be in there - in-game hints would solve a lot of sticking points for people! Thanks for the feedback!!
