Summoner Chess by seurimas 2024-04-17T22:01:58Z

Wow a lot of depth in this one. A lot of ways to play and a lot of optimizations I'm sure. I tried using some of the synergies and mechanics but ended up just picking anything that had the same keyword. Some way to better communicate this info would go a long way. Still had a blast playing, nice job

Ritual of Ribbit by manabreak 2024-04-17T23:04:04Z

Cute and fun platformer. Had a lot of fun dropping my poor froggie into acid. Well done

Unsummoner's Saga: Disaster in the Village by josemwarrior 2024-04-17T22:32:59Z

Cool style for a short simple game. Enjoyed the dialogue, although I understood none of it. Fun little game

Turret Queen by leparlon 2024-04-15T21:37:19Z

Cool game! Was a bit hard to tell what the different powerups did and I found the difficulty scaling a little brutal after you lose your ship. However the level design and enemy patterns were really cool! I could tell a lot of care went into this. Great job!

Delvecologist by Wheffle 2024-04-15T22:00:45Z

Cool game! Love the themeing and atmosphere. I know the pain of making puzzle games and you did really well! You did a great job of conveying information to the player and I never felt lost. I will say that with a lot going on on screen, my best strategy was to guess a position and hit play instead of playing out the solution in my head. Trying to think multiple rounds in advance was tricky. I really liked the designs though. Great job

The Klent by sirJupitron 2024-04-16T05:58:04Z

Polished, consise and charming well done! Instantly reminded me of adventure on atari with the art design. Great combo of light puzzling and platforming. It’s a full package and only part 1, great job :D

Fiend-Zone by gord10ahmet 2024-04-16T02:36:30Z

Good twist on the bullet heaven genre, very well designed. The hitboxes on the enemies were annoying and I ended up just getting stuck and dying a few times. With proper balancing and more fiend types this could be great. Very unique, keep it up

Emperor's Call by Balgorode 2024-04-18T02:33:40Z

Simple turn based battler. Fun to play but I had to lose once to get an OP team. Nice job

Arise, QWERT! by niterich 2024-04-15T22:06:57Z

Cool little game! Would be cool if you could see the demons you summon. The style and theming were really cool and I would love to see something like this with more work. Keep it up :)

Summon Traffic Controller by Ben Albert 2024-04-17T22:12:36Z

Fun little game! Felt like a great casual game and would be really fun to play with a friend. Add some more mechanics and with a bit of polish this game could be a blast. Reminded me of overcooked. I did have a few bug and physics issues. Great job

Cthulhu Defense by Flying Dog Fish 2024-04-15T22:15:52Z

Fun little tower defense! Took a couple tries but i beat it! CUTHUULUUU

Dicey Demons by UkuleleFury 2024-04-16T02:59:26Z

Wow very cool! Amazing idea and with more balanced enemies and fleshed out mechanics this could be amazing. The art style and themeing is spot on. Reminded me a bunch of Super Auto Pets and Astrea. Great job to your team!

Penta-mania by SirLich 2024-04-16T02:47:31Z

Very nice game. Creative style and a very nice base for an action economy system. With the right balaencing and a couple more mechanics to bind things together this could be really indepth! Great little turn based tactics game, well done!

From Below by Pincushion 2024-04-15T22:31:53Z

Wow very cool. A lot going on but after the tutorial level I think I got it. It felt hard to come up with a solid strategy other then just rushing the enemy tiles. With better ways to explain whats happening other than comparing numbers I think the game would be much more playable. Still had fun and the behemoth seems OP. Nice work :D

Chief Ghost Crazy Cooking Bonanza by yohadams 2024-04-16T02:09:26Z

Cute game and a nice polished package. I don't know how to fix the design issue of the words being ambigious, I could not get cabbage instead of lettuce for the life of me. Also a backspace would be nice. Had fun

Demon Farm by ViniFlores 2024-04-16T21:22:20Z

Fun little game. Would be cool if the coins sucked up to you, the hitbox felt a little strange at times. Gameplay loop was fun though and once you oneshot things the game is a breeze. Good job

Zoomancy by ugly_robot 2024-04-16T02:29:40Z

Amazing game. Getting great shop owner sim vibes from this. With some sort of progression and more mechanics, this could be super addicting. Reminds me a lot of potioncraft. A lot of potential here, great job

archmage by OldDog 2024-04-17T23:35:36Z

Fun game! Really liked the aesthetic. Great Job

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T21:14:38Z

@matt-ravenhall Thanks for playing! Glad you could figure it out

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T21:15:40Z

@josang1567 The player has to go to the pentagram to finish the level. I wasn't able to add vfx to make this more obvious in time :(. Thanks for playing

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T22:56:57Z

@owtuvammo Darn I was worried players wouldn't get what to do. I'm sorry it wasnt clear enough. I hopped that the simple controls would let players experiment with what they can do to solve puzzles. If you're willing to give it another chance, the goal is to put the piles of bones on the spinning sigils then stand on the pentagram. Skeletons fall into piles of bones when they hit a wall. Thanks for trying regardless

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T23:33:23Z

@frib Thanks for playing! I didn't want to directly communicate much to the player and wanted the level design and player discovery be a big part. Sorry about the controls, I did do a quick fix that made it better for the version on itch. I also agree the camera is a bit too far. Wish I did more play testing to get this things right but that how jams go

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T23:35:53Z

@owtuvammo Glad you were able to enjoy! I play a lot of puzzle games so my balancing is probably very skewed. Thanks for playing

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-15T23:38:27Z

@niterich Yea it looks like you did the level exactly right and that should be a win. I guess it might be a bug? The version on my itch fixed a couple of obvious bugs for checking the win conditions. If you move on and off of the pentagram it might work in this version. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-16T16:09:14Z

@moonblast @out1oud Thanks for playing! I wanted to make a challenging puzzler but it still feels bad seeing it as a turn off for people

@meepster Glad you liked it, I really wish I had enough time for sound :(

@ben-albert Baba is you is a huge inspiration. The biggest one for this game though was probably magicube. Big recommendation

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-16T17:28:29Z

@sirjupitron Hey thanks for the feedback! Although the game's camera is 3D, most of the assests are either sprites or really basic meshes so it really doesnt take long. Unity does all the really heavy lifting for 3D engine features like rendering. The games logic is practically only all on the X and Z planes.

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-16T21:10:09Z

@imbajoe Yea that is the solution to level 1 so I'm sorry it didn't work for you. You also have to move around or wait until the sigil activates and then walk onto the pentagram. Thanks for playing!

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-17T05:08:38Z

@pincushion Nice! Really happy you enjoyed. Great feedback, I agree and tried to fix some of those issues in the itch verison. I love puzzle games for their sense of discovery and I'm happy you were able to experience something similar. Thanks for playing :D

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-17T05:22:36Z

@wheffle Thanks for playing and the feedback! I'm happy with the entry and glad it was enjoyed!

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-17T21:56:14Z

@seurimas Thanks for playing! I understand that level 1 is asking alot of the player, I wish I could have smoothed out the learning curve more. Something that more time and playtesting would have helped. I'm happy you enjoyed it

@josemwarrior Sadly I didn't include a solid tutorial level so part of this puzzle game is figuring out the mechanics. If you're willing to give it another shot, try putting the skeleton on the other sigil on the ground when its a pile of bones :D

Life As A Lich by VortexB 2024-04-20T05:29:57Z

@henk Thanks for playing! Great feedback too. I'm happy the puzzles were enjoyed. Making the mechanics and art took up too much time and I skimped on QOL and polish. Glad you liked it :D

Life of a skeleton by Pimeko 2024-04-18T04:51:22Z

Frantic fun and hilarious premise. Loved the dynamic audio. Great job

Dark Altar by Adrien Tremblay 2024-04-18T04:37:49Z

Fun puzzle game. A summoning theme twist to the classic picross style. Very nice

Grand Court Summons by Frib 2024-04-16T00:48:59Z

Total vibe of a game, great job. If the controls were less sensitive, and roads a bit more vibrant I could see this being awesome. Music was great too :D

Siela by Gnum_ 2024-04-18T05:20:38Z

Very impressed with the immersion for a jam game. I was scared of getting jumped the entire time. Wonderful spooky vibes, with a bit more visual ambience and stings this could be a real horror game. Well done

Wrath of Wrathmus by Fredrik Andersson 2024-04-15T22:39:04Z

Charming! I got stuck at level 3 since his arms blocked the doorway but i couldnt attack him. I love the idea though and was having fun. Good job!

Boneworks by Imbajoe 2024-04-17T22:21:36Z

Wow tough game, you bested me. I never felt like I could out pace the enemy focusing on economy. Had fun with the challenge though, nice job

Flying Buttress by Jack728 2024-04-16T01:46:40Z

Tight game, feels really polished. I do think some leniency with some of the timings would help it feel more fun to get into. Very cute looking too, great job

Imp Master by Owtuvammo 2024-04-15T22:49:33Z

Very nice game! Feels like a classic flash puzzle game in the best way. Very impressed at the amount of mechanics you got working together in such a short time. Good job :D

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-16T06:05:43Z

Played this like a baby sensory game, just clicking around and watching stuff happened, had a blast. You hit the mark with a basic satisfying puzzler. Would play this on mobile, well done!

Endless Engagement by OobOob 2024-04-17T22:48:38Z

Fun little rts. I wish I understood what was going on a little more. Still just building units and watching them fight is always fun. Nice job
