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.
Wow the graphics are amazing! That thumbnail banner really makes you want to try the game
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 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 love the graphics and also purple color fits it so well! Was a fun play.
Gives early Vampire survivors vibe. Especially the graphics. Was fun to play through 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.
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 love these type of games! It's simple but fun and graphics fit nicely. Had a blast!
What a concept haha The audio is amazing! I never expected explosion will happen on expel student lol
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
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.
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
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
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 love that thumbnail! Wish I could try 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
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
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.
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
Been watching you stream it while I was making my entry, was a crazy experience!
Love the game, your art is always great and music was absolutely amazing this time! Controls have some problems on the web but I enjoyed playing it.

I have the same problem with the game being stuck in loading screen on the website. Try uploading it on itch, it worked for me.
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
That banner image looked so cool! I also liked sprites of the characters. Engaging and fun to play
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!
Interesting mechanic with the drawing it was a bit tricky to draw and respond on time to the enemies but was fun.
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
@freakyzelga Thanks, glad you liked it! Interesting correlation with vampire survival, it never crossed my mind that it would remind someone of it haha
@andreas-decker Thanks, love that you had fun with it! Picking dice was intentional choice and I'm glad it served it's purpose to force you to choose new strat. Thanks for suggestions, environmental one is really interesting. It never crossed my mind and it could be really fun.
@ben-albert Thanks, I spend so much time polishing the effects that I didn't had enough time to add all the mechanics I wanted haha
@ooboob Wow I'm glad you noticed that! I haven't played Balatro yet, but how they did calculating of the score was big inspiration.
@ron88 That's a good score! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@tstapely07 Thanks, that means a lot! Yeah, hover in play and always seeing which dice sides you have was one of the features I didn't have time to add :(
@sigmoiddev Thanks, that was the goal! To make something simple and engaging. I'll keep skip button in mind if I update the game after the jam. Thanks for the feedback
@rillep Awesome, I'm glad you had fun playing it! In hindsight Octopus is a bit op, but definitely a key for huge scores.
@feynallein @dams333 @godknows Thanks! I'm glad you had fun with it!
@myse @cogcomp I agree, a lot of the polish around the game was left unfinished like tutorial and clarity of what dice sides you have on the field.
@nash Thanks, I'm glad you feel that way. Thank you for the feedback too, especially the dice sides confusion. I had no time to playtest, otherwise I would have probably added some way so more powerful monsters where harder to get.
@coffeeowl Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Yeah cosmic horror is a bit broken, but feels good when you get big number using it haha
@paprigames Thanks! That's around the same score I got on the first try too lol
@rhewid @owtuvammo @sirlich @piero-pbes-studio @wilsk @ilari @vegeo @0x0961h @magnusfurcifer @netguy204 @pusheeneiro @tykki19 @crafteverywhere @olddog @simontzky @byazzle @rob6566 @allax @drgcandle
Thank you y'all!!! I'm flattered with all the praise and comments, I never expected I would get this many! I love seeing the comments with your highscore, it honestly made my day today <3
I appreciate all the feedback too, especially if I polish it a bit more after the jam. Thanks!
@holysparks @maggardjosh Thanks! Maybe one day it will become something more, who knows haha
@porchor Thanks, I'm glad you had fun with it! Love your profile pic btw, really catches the attention and reminds me of Patapon.
@duudel Glad you enjoyed it! I agree with your feedback more clarity of what's happening would go a long way for sure.
@sozey Wow thanks! That's a high praise. I'm glad you had fun with it :)
That thumbnail banner is so good and eye catchy! I enjoyed the game, I decided to play it with the drawing tablet and was fun to draw shapes.
Game looks cool and I really love the banner. Sadly there is nowhere I see how to play
Cool game! Was a bit confusing figuring out how to play, but I liked the graphics a lot
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
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.
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
For me it started lagging after about 300 ducks. The fact that they followed the mouse was such a nice feature.
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
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
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 really polished too!
I just kept summoning sheeps, they were op lol It was a cool fun game, loved the summoning mechancic
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.
