LD55 — Summoning (8)

Demanager by satacat 2024-04-20T03:53:38Z ♥ 4

Great game! I played the updated WebGL version with the tutorial and it was a very polished experience. The art and animations were amazing and it fit the theme of summoning really well. Reminded me of those old Papa's flash games which I loved playing as a kid. Fantastic submission ❀️

Random person: "Ughh my head..." Me: Proceeds to drop comically large rock onto their head

I love this submission so much :)) Great art, audio and very humorous. Well done

I love strategy games and this game delivered! I appreciated that there was a balanced mix of luck and skill in each run. The different summons introducing new cards kept the game interesting. And OMG the art and polish is unparalleled. Great submission!

I love puzzle games and I haven't seen a clone mechanic used like this in a puzzle game before! Great submission

Summoning for Dummies by erebrus 2024-04-16T19:37:24Z ♥ 3

OMG this is so cute! An amazing intro cutscene, an in-game tutorial, fantastic pixel art, and such an original gameplay loop that fits with the theme of summoning. Many minions were sacrificed 😒 Love this submission and thanks for taking the time to make a Mac build!

Ecaroh's Mecharoh by goodwincek 2024-04-16T19:17:50Z ♥ 2

I love the interpretation of the summoning theme with real-time action meets tower defence genre mashup. The game had amazing polish and props for taking the time to create a comprehensive in-game tutorial to explain the game mechanics. Awesome submission!

Nice game loved your concept and how simple the controls were. The graphics were awesome and thought you did a great job. Would have liked to possibly see a soundtrack to go with the game. But other than that you did an amazing job, congrats : )

WHILE (TRUE) by smiley 2020-10-06T04:15:31Z ♥ 1

Fun Little Game! Loved the soundtrack and the puzzles. Wish they were a little harder and you had to read the code to work it out. Overall cool concept and innovative way of following the theme

Bjorn to Dance by Tomh 2020-10-06T04:00:03Z ♥ 3

Love the idea and the funny name! The gameplay can get pretty repetitive and becomes a little boring after a while but the humour and difficulty increase kept me playing for a while. Loved the art style and the simple controls awesome work!

Amusement Shark by No Grapes Games 2020-10-06T03:47:12Z ♥ 2

Nice game! really liked the little cutscene at the start and the simple controls. Your level design skills are amazing and you explored everything you could do with that movement mechanic. Great work : )

Strange Planet by tengusheath 2020-10-06T03:36:45Z ♥ 1

Cool little game. Really liked the dialogue and graphics. Wished there was a soundtrack with some ambient space winds or something. Wished there was a cool mechanic attached to the screen looping rather than just using it to follow the theme. Anyway, you should be super proud of your little game cause its so cute and fun! Great work : )

Brick'd Out by Game Endeavor 2020-10-06T00:45:36Z ♥ 0

Eyyyy GameEndevour! Big fan watch all the devlogs for Zoe and the cursed dreamer. Really liked the game and how you built upon the simple breakout gameidea but added mines and other things to spice it up. The art was pretty cool however i wish i could have played your game more if the webGL stopped crashing (not sure whats up with that). Anyways Awesome game : )

U.F.O.M.O by dvdfu 2020-10-06T00:41:09Z ♥ 3

Wowowowowowowoww!!!! Loved the game so much. Such a cool idea for the theme super original. Loved the art and sfx. What a game, great job guys!

Spincar by uvwar 2020-10-06T00:35:51Z ♥ 1

Pretty cool idea! Loved the physics movement and driving up the ramp. Very fun to play around with. The graphics were very nice as well. My one piece of feedback would be to possibly add a shadow to the car so its easier to see when your off the ground and on the ground. But otherwise great job!

TANKNAT by icxon 2020-10-05T23:45:01Z ♥ 2

Awesome game! Really liked your take on the theme and the loop effect. The variety in enemies and upgrades was good and kept me interested for ages. I especially liked the addition that you could use the big bois bodies as a shield. Super nice sfx and soft music. Greatwork

Exit Only by alpharock6 2020-10-05T23:38:09Z ♥ 1

Really nice take on the theme and awesome illusion. The movement and puzzles were cool however i did get stuck on the coloured cubes... I changed them to the ones on the box and nothing happened. Also you can open the cube solution without the key by just clicking. I really liked the atmospheric soundtrack and thought you did an amazing job.

Broken Dungeon by PurpledArtFrog 2020-10-05T23:30:15Z ♥ 2

Loved the Game! I liked the art and how the character talked to himself. Some of the lines made me chuckle : ) I really liked the simple controls and the realisation that i could use the trap to kill those snakes. Amazing work

Future Loop by madalaski 2020-10-05T23:23:15Z ♥ 2

Awesome Little Game! Love the use of speed as health and the boosting was really fun. The graohics and take on the theme was very cool. Not sure if it was supposed to get harder overtime but the first time i played was much easier than the other times i played after. But awesome work you should be super proud of your game cause its awesome.

Disco Loop by DotSquare 2020-10-05T23:14:17Z ♥ 1

Nice Little Game! Really liked the idea of moving to a beat. It took me a while to get use to the controls and spot the timer at the top but after that I was good. The movement was a little hard and I felt like sometimes it would register and other times it wouldn't. Loved the art and the little story at the start. You should be super proud of your accomplishment great job :)

Gold Looper by Galse87 2020-10-05T23:05:25Z ♥ 2

The game was very interesting. The camera felt very jolty when moving between rooms and you pretty much had no time to react to the monsters flying at you so you could only last 3 stages. I didn't mind the idea of the loop, getting stuck in a dungeon but wasn't a fan of the music or graphics.

Undead Carnival Carnage by dummydojo 2020-10-05T22:56:07Z ♥ 2

Wow! Such a cool take on the theme of stuck in a loop. Loved the art style and how cinematic the game felt to play. I liked the use of pushing rather than attacking with a gun or sword and all the animations for the enemies and player. I wish the game had like a little cutscene for winning rather than just saying restart but it didn't take away from the game too much. Amazing work!

Retro Stuck by roboshamit 2020-10-05T22:39:59Z ♥ 2

Awesome game! Loved the little computer model with the keyboard that typed and the heath and score integrated in one. The text was moving a little to fast for me, like @red-chilakillers said it might be cool if the difficulty increased overtime. Overall enjoyed the little experience and thought you did a great job!

BLACKLOOPHOLE by A sMILE 2020-10-05T22:26:48Z ♥ 5

Overall loved the concept of the game. The bars at the top really helped find crates once i knew how it worked. The arrow was also helpful in getting back to the ship. At times i found the movement a little buggy however it didn't take away from the game too much. Great job, enjoyed the game!

Meteoroboros by Gogani 2020-10-05T22:18:52Z ♥ 2

Amazing Game! Love the use of the theme in the game. Loved the art style and it was pretty polished having two modes available to play. I liked the simple controls and having the body break of when hit and the snake reset if you ate your own tale. Also loved the little ending : ). Overall super impressed with the game and thought you guys did a great job!

Dude Ranch by ColeSlaughter 2020-10-05T21:56:03Z ♥ 5

Wow what an epic game. The graphics and audio felt really polished and I liked the quick little tutorial at the start to teach the player the controls. The variation in dudes with some giving you lots of money others hard to pull really helped spice up the gameplay. The controls were fun and intuitive and it fitted the theme really well. Overall super impressed! Amazing job

Star Loop by rickdearman 2020-10-05T21:49:38Z ♥ 1

I really liked the throwing mechanic with the egg making it possible to get over the egg eaters. Again the movement was a little slow and buggy but still worked and didn't come across any game breaking bugs so amazing work. Great job on finishing your first game!

Nugget by plloyer 2020-10-05T21:37:12Z ♥ 4

Awesome Game! I really like the checkpoint system and the evolution idea with each stage having its own ability. The soundtrack was really good and the sfx matched it well. Very innovative take on the theme stuck in a loop and overall nice little game. Great job! : )

Morphology by Shess 2020-05-03T23:25:34Z ♥ 0

This was a super fun, creative and well thought out game! The graphics were awesome and the whole idea of having to evolve a creature was super creative. It took me a while to work out how to direct the evolution however I got the hang of it and got all 10 creatures!!! Awesome game, one of my favourite ones I have played this jam

Message by NoamRaz 2020-04-30T22:55:17Z ♥ 2

Cool Game! Loved the graphics and the idea behind the game. I think like many people the player movement could have been a bit smoother and possibly fixing some collision issues where you can climb walls when you're in them. But overall I really liked the game goodjob!

For Ducks' Sake by Rolph 2020-04-26T03:19:16Z ♥ 2

Super cool and fun entry! Love the graphics and the way you linked it to the theme. Super clean animations and nice Ai and everything! Great Job

Anatomic Mayhem by henrycgs 2020-04-22T08:23:26Z ♥ 1

Amazing! The best game i've played this gamejam and probably the best I will play. It fitted the theme perfectly and was super fun in a stressful way.

Sunlit by palsina 2020-04-21T11:38:02Z ♥ 2

Amazing little game! Fun to play and very calming. I felt like a pro Japanese bonsai artist. Easy and simple controls and very cool idea. Well done!

It looks so cool but there is no mac build :(

Hope by Darylsteak 2020-04-21T09:27:39Z ♥ 0

Awesome game! Loved the art style and how original your game idea was. Well thought out level design with tricky puzzles. Overall very impressed that you were able to create that in the tight time limit. Great job!

Hacker Escort by Barnox 2020-04-21T04:32:34Z ♥ 1

Hey! Nice game. Was a bit unsure of what to do at the start but got the hang of it. Really smooth controls and it worked with the theme really well. Could have done with a bit more polish like sounds and better main menu but overall, Great Job!

πŸ„ Saki πŸ„ by Darkfire92 2020-04-20T22:14:53Z ♥ 1

Amazing game! Love the simple idea and controls and the graphics suit it perfectly. The sound effects are amazing and loved how you linked it to the theme! Great Job

A Letter To Ed by zoglu 2020-04-20T22:01:36Z ♥ 2

Wow... Just wow. What a heartwarming game with such a great link to the theme for this Ludum Dare. Loved the implementation of the hints system so you wouldn't get stuck but nudged you in the right direction. Great Job!
