This is a fun game! I struggled a bit on 3rd and 4th level but had a blast! Wish I could have skipped text tho, it was going a bit slowly for me. Other than that, it's superb. Art, audio, gameplay... loved it!
Wow voice acting was so good! Reminded me a lot of Inscryption with the vibe. Really amazing experience, I was blown away with how much mood you setup with the voice acting and audio
Wow you built automation game in such a short period of time :O AMAZING! Was enjoyable to play, I like graphics the most. So much depth for a game jam game too
I think I played this too much lol I just can't get past speed 1 upgrade. Had to stop because each time I try again I had to wait 2-3 sec to load and it got a bit annoying, but man the game was so fun! If you develop it further or update it. Please make it playable with arrowkeys or WSAD if possible. I really loved the game! Idk for how long I tried it but I restarted probably like 30 times lol
Liked it a lot. It kinda reminded me of desktop dungeons where it tries to be a roguelike, but it's actually puzzle game. I didn't expect it to be so engaging when I tried to play it it was great! Also I liked the audio, there is just enough to make it feel good without it being overwhelming.
Was a bit difficult but good idea! Thank god you had screenshot of the spells on the itch page I don't know if I would been able to use them otherwise, haha Was a cool experience to play for a bit.
I think this is the first Pico-8 game I played that uses the mouse lol Loved the art! I wasn't able to beat the game but was fun to try to beat it a couple of times.
I don't know what's with the Pico-8 games but everytime I play one graphics are always the cream of the top. Seriously, these are the strongest graphics I played on this gamejam so far. Loved the game too! Classic metrovania concept but level design was really good and I felt engaged all the way through
Interesting game, really unique mechanics. I would never gone for the fishing route. I like the look of the characters too. It was fun seeing all the fish and booze...khm mana jumping around
I like the graphics! It's a cool puzzle game with interesting mechanics. I might be stupid, but it took me a while to figure out how skullheads work, after I did that it was fun to continue playing. Wish there was how many levels are left just so I know how long I need to keep playing to beat it. Really cool game
I feel like 30second games are kinda too long, other than that it was fun. Really liked the graphics. Some horror click adventure in this style would look amazing
It feels a bit buggy since I can put less or more than 3 ingredients and I can use more than 1 and each time when I do that I get black square. Other than that it worked great and was cool to see what's the next thing that would pop up.
Love the look of the game! To be honest slowdowns and screenshake was a bit much for me. But I had a blast with game mechanics. It was really fun to play!
Fun game! It was hard to figure out how to play (didnt read tutorial so my fault maybe). Loved the art! I managed to beat it wave 1 with 2 frost skeletons in front and 3 fire in back.
Looks like an interesting concept. I haven't played a lot, but it looks unique. Seems like you two are planning to build it up further so I hope I get to play it when it's more polished, because it feels like it has potential. I just wish it had battle agains computer tho
It was a bit confusing not having the ingredient icons on the bottom to know whats what. But was engaging little experience. Creative use of summoning too
Loved the sound effects, they gave so much humor to the game! For me it got a bit repetitive after a while so I wish there was one more mechanic or something added at around mid point. But it's a gamejam game and for short play session was good and engaging.
Way more fun than I expected! Love the graphics too, especially the summon cards. I keep going one more round and had to make myself stop lol It was so engaging!
Love the art for the characters! And what you did with the summoning was great. Intro was too long imo and I didn't find the ability to skip it. But I'm glad I played the game since I enjoyed the abilities.
Love the art, but more than it the music! That background soundtrack gave such a good cult vibes it's crazy! Gameplay was fun too and cthulhu was cute. Enjoyed playing it
Great idea! Graphics are cool and I like how you just summon animals instead of some crazy demon creatures. Wish walking was a bit faster, but other than that was cool and graphics were good.
Wow! Artstyle, music, presentation, length and complexity of the game. Everything is perfect for the game jam game! The music and sfx's were so good to set up the mood
Interesting idea! I don't know if it gets harder over time, it didn't felt that way to me. But it was fun quick experience! Choice of music between looking and not looking was great :D
Love it! That's creative way to implement the idea + I feel like it's a strong puzzle mechanic. Graphics were really good too! Was a joy to play the game
I'm sad there is no music rating :( It was 5/5 for me. Love the presentation, the visual novel section was amazing! Gameplay section was a bit rougher so I wouldn't mind if it was only visual novel, but it was still fun especially with the sfx's
Really cool game! I wish combo section was just one big page or that it worked more like a classic 3-match formula. That would make it more fun imo. But it was fun game overall and it was engaging to see what the art for the next new piece will be
Cool game and interesting idea! I wish I could control the character in battle, but who would have thought that 1 long foaty hand and leg would be so powerful lol
Love the background music, sword sfx was a bit too loud but music was really chill. Art is good, I found the grass to be a bit too noisy, but character art was great.
A bit easy, especially with all the carrots, but was fun short experience!
Cool idea! I love these type of games, reminds me of mushroom wars. Being able to rotate was a good addition, I did it often to pass the time while waiting for mana to fill. I struggled with commanding units a bit, they where getting stuck so idk if I where doing something wrong. But I have fun with the game despite that.
Interesting game, it was a bit annoying in the beginning until I learned vision of the enemy ships. I got stuck in asteroids too many times too, haha
You mention you might develop the game further, fixing getting stuck into asteroids would go a long way for the enjoyement. Other than getting stuck i enjoyed it, controls where smooth and fun to fly around.
Interesting game. I assume it's AI Art but that thumbnail/banner image caught my eye so great job with that! I would give art 5/5 if I could, whole experience was very pleasing to look at.
I got a Joy Junior 2x in a row and Rose Buzz third time. Love the characters you summon, I didn't expect them to be regular people. I wish there was a button to restart a game and place where I can see how many characters I can unlock. I didn't feel like I wanted to continue playing after a third time since I don't know how many chars I can unlock and I didn't want to keep getting the same ones. Maybe even ability to put summoned characters on tables so you have to do combinations to figure out how to summon new ones. I know it's a game jam and you probably had to cut a lot to make it in time and it was a good quick experience even without those additions. Great job man, especially the mood/theme you nailed it!
