LD55 — Summoning

Cultists Feast by LeReveur 2024-04-16T19:33:37Z

I god 110000 most :D. They are very scared and their movement is sometimes unpredictable :D. For me it's fine of what you can accomplish in 3 days. If you would like to continue work on this I'm missing some features like: - the more you kill the more special skills you could posses - types of invokers with different HPs - maybe mana + spells implementation - music + SFX

I liked the story you included in the description. That could be an intro to the game.

Phoenix Delay by aeveis 2024-04-24T06:08:50Z

Wow that was really fun. It took me about 3 minutes to finally summon the ultimate attack xD. I love the humor used in this games. Graphics, SFX, music goes together really ,really well. Firstly I didn't catch that I need to go through the summoning circles :). Also the speed effect was :heartpulse:

Replicate-You by loveapplegames 2024-04-19T20:13:33Z

Because nothing can actually kill you I just ran through all obstacles, took coins and then created a super confused replica :D

If Only by Le Slo 2024-04-16T19:19:14Z

Wow I loved the theme and the music. And it was quite challenging. I didn't pass through level 4 because I already closed and reopen the tab multiple times :D. Some button like retry is really missing. Overall I like how you design levels, you have to think very carefully what the correct moves are.

Snack Summoner by Air Dinghy 2024-04-26T12:00:51Z

Nice little game. Congratulations on your first Ludum Dare. It's also first time for me :). Voice acting goes nice with the game and like the simple animations you used. Good Job!

Bullet Storm Extrema by LanceJZ 2024-04-19T19:57:04Z

Nice and old. Very hard because you have practically just one life then the level starts from beginning. The turrets look rather week, maybe some upgrade would be welcome (they could aim for example).

Labyrinth of Fiends by jcbeaureg 2024-04-24T05:54:30Z

I got to the 7th floor. I liked the procedural generation of the level, but after some time it started to be repetitive. I had no problem with unreachable doors. I didn't use right mouse click much often because I didn't see the point. I could should and evade really easily and there was no point in spawning my own monster. Also I was afraid that my monster will stay in some area and kill some others and the key would spawn there and I would need to travel back where I summon my monster :).

Geekmancer by Gonzo13 2024-04-16T19:25:17Z

Interesting idea, summoning protective/damaging stuff. But I didn't see the point. Heads of the 3 protectors went down but I'm basically immortal (web version). I can't see anywhere what is actually the goal of this game.

Late Night Activity by Florian_Texier 2024-04-16T14:12:36Z

The movement was pretty funny. Hard to control, but in the end it was worth for the single glass of water xD. At least I read comments first and figure it out what to do. I have this symbol also in [my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/summoner) :)

Summon The Waiter by PromZona 2024-04-15T20:13:40Z

Hah! That was funny :D. Just destroy everything ASAP to not keep me waiting!

Fiesta De Las Quimeras! by Jean-Francois 2024-04-26T11:50:43Z

Nice little game. I needed a second try to fully understand what should I be doing there :D. I like the challenge. I think that it's little unfair that game is basically based mainly on the speed of clicking. I would like more a game where I need to think more and value more the resources. But of course this is just my personal preference. Thank you for the game! :) Untitled.png

Star to Dust by Chii 2024-04-15T20:20:04Z

I like the experimental idea and the way how I can move star and change the star to smaller one - then it looks like the star traveled to far away galaxy :). Almost it looked like the moving star can be friend with every star or galaxy created.

Winds Whisperer by stellarnightmare 2024-04-15T20:04:26Z

Nice little game, I was missing some guidance about why I need two flutes at all :). Because I could use Q + E right away.

Duel of the Summoners by Jona Scheidig 2024-04-16T08:34:11Z

Web versions are not working completely. The PC version works, but in a small window (I have 2560x1600px monitor). Game looks very nice. Polished graphics. But the attack system doesn't work so I would like to see how would it work when complete. I love the music, really nice! Graphics + SFX + music goes very well together. Also I would like the idea that the battlefield could change based on the monsters attacks. gameplay.png

Evocation by kanity 2024-04-24T17:23:39Z

Scaryyy. Somehow the beginning reminds me the game Planescape Torment. I was feeling unease always something knocking on my nice bass repro :D.

Soul Technician by Nathan Franck 2024-04-24T05:59:50Z

I also got stuck on level 3. Impressive game regarding the technologies used here (senior web developer here ;) ). Some SFX + Music would make this game even better. Also, I'm missing some level design, because the levels are not changing in any way except the machines are broking faster xD.

Summoner by WildCodePlay 2024-04-17T07:52:09Z

@willby the purpose of it is to stay in the middle as much as possible. I agree some spawning sound could help notice the ghost sooner and maybe spawning them only from the left and right sides where you have more time to react. But, that would be easier and number or speed of the ghosts will need to be changed.

Summoner by WildCodePlay 2024-04-29T18:49:24Z

@kanity, thank you for the nice and long review. Next time I need to be more explicit, or make a better tutorial. Your primary objective was to stay in the middle of your own circle. Only when you are exactly in the middle the top bar is moving (channeling). When it completes you win the game :). Also, when you are in the middle the particle effect changes color that you are actually "summoning" or doing some kind of invocation (player animation would be perfect for this, but I'm no designer at all :D).

I agree with the spawn points. I'm thinking I'll do a complete rewrite, use some Unity assets I have bought and try to release this on steam just to learn the whole process of releasing a game.

Summoner Armin's Bad Day by Alessandro2024 2024-04-24T17:10:41Z

Wow I loved to play this simple quest. Reminds me the style of Finding Paradise which is my most favorite game. I liked the ending that it was not just "yey you finished quest!", but actually there was a big party ;).

And the piano had nice sound xD.

LD56 — Tiny Creatures

Jarred by Tommy 2024-10-18T09:30:56Z

Hah, that was fun! Even when the ants were quite week but the idea was well executed!

Honey for the Winter by adjo 2024-10-18T09:01:19Z

Nice game, but I had a problem with controls, sometimes I was heading some direction, missed the flowers and couldn't turn back and then night hit and my colony died :(.

Bugtallion by goodwincek 2024-10-18T08:17:37Z

I see we are not the only ones who come up with new and unique way to dice mechanic. :). Thanks also for your rating. The style and sound somehow reminded me of the Gwent card game from the Witcher III :). 2024-10-18 10_14_49-Arc.png

Niblo and Mubbit by milq 2024-10-18T08:37:27Z

Thanks for the game. So far you have the tiniest creatures I have seen in this game jam :D. The mechanics are little awkward, but interesting. I think the hand would be played much easier with a mouse instead of the keyboard arrows.

The Wriggling Path by leckert 2024-10-08T05:32:41Z

It reminds me of Ori :). I love how you teach the player the controls through the beginning of the game (I'll take it to my other games for GJs ;)). This was a really beautiful platform puzzle. I wanted to play it till the end, but for some reason, I couldn't get through this part. According to "map" on itch.io, the circle part should be in the air but it's not. Multiple "R" keys didn't solve this :(. But, I had a perfect time. Some mechanics even surprised me.2024-10-08 07_26_25-Arc.png

Critter Slayer by mode_0x13 2024-10-18T09:35:16Z

Hah, the best ending I saw in this game jam :D (I won't spoil it). Good job submitting your first compo! Even when it isn't polished or great, it's still yours and you make a game which is always very cool! :) Continue honing your skills. Wish you luck :).

The Immortals Snails by Dianavi 2024-10-18T08:00:16Z

I was shocked when the snail rocket came to me :D. Overall it was fun. But it wasn't fair that the collisions didn't work for snails as well! :P. Cheaters. Nice music and SFX. And the spinning head was fun :D2024-10-18 09_57_42-Arc.png

Farmer Friendly Ladybug by Tharinda Kodikara 2024-10-18T09:08:37Z

Hi Tharinda and welcome to your first Ludum Dare game jam! :). Nice first try, simplicity, animations. I even lost a few times in the beginning because I see the collider is not precise enough and it is more like a rectangle around the spider. I would suggest some improvements if you would like to hone your skills further: - make the spider move in a random direction - make the shrink animation when you fall - you can go further like, make levels, obstacles (walls), more spiders or other creatures ;)

Have fun!

Welcome to the Jungle by ejunegao 2024-10-18T08:25:23Z

I don't understand. I was the biggest I could be, then the music stopped playing and out of nothing I lost. Nothing was comming at me at all. I played the web version. Overall interesting and nice pixel art :)

Motomon by Jawdan 2024-10-18T09:16:08Z

I see where your inspiration comes from ;).

Licky Luke by Sharkbait 2024-10-18T09:20:04Z

It's fun and looks beautiful! Reminds me of Ori and the blind forest. But I found it quite buggy, even with the windows version :/.

Defend Squeeb by The Quinnzite Mushroom 2024-10-08T05:11:53Z

2024-10-08 07_01_29-Arc.png Max score 159 ;). Nice little game. I like the drawing idea for attacking creatures. In the beginning I wanted to move with the guy, but he didn't listen to me :D.

Good job, the music fits nicely with the game. What I was a little bit missing is some VFX for taking damage. In the middle of fighting, I initially didn't even realize I had taken 3 hits already.

Shepherd's Path by SchleuderGames 2024-10-18T07:51:35Z

Nice little game. I particularly loved your art style and the choice of the color palette. Man, but it was hard. Those sheep are so stupid :D. And the whistle mechanic sometimes leads the sheep to me and sometimes away from me.
