Ranked from 64 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Players shall summon heroes to battle for them, in order to defeat the dungeons. Summoning costs souls, which can be gained from killing monsters.

1-2 heroes will be very weak in battle, but as the players kill more monsters and gain more souls to summon more heroes, as the weak heroes will all attack together, the army of heroes will become very powerful and crushes all enemies on their way. That's how we interpret "Stronger Together".

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Some codes are learned from many tutorials on Youtube, mostly the procedural generation algorithm. We wrote our own AI, battle and UI codes.

Most of the assets such as characters, tiles, or sound effects are from asset stores on itch.io or some royalty-free music websites. We created some custom animations based on the asset we have.

Very good game. Fantastic interpretation of the theme.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Hope you enjoyed it :)

I NEED MORE! I loved this game, seriously, I'd gladly pay for a complete version on Steam. The only improvement I could think of, is making the allies auto attack the enemies that attack them. Again, amazing game, completely in theme, nice art, music and overall, mechanics.

Developer

Really glad that you like it! Like you said, making the allies auto-attack whoever hit them will be a good way to improve the AI. We do plan to extend the project, maybe a mobile version, or a PC version with more mechanics. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is really cool. The visuals are really good for this game. I do have a few small criticisms though.

I'm not sure how far away some of the enemies can hit me from, or even when they're attacking me.  I assume this is probably to motivate the player to use their summons, but it still feels pretty unfair.

I can't tell the enemies' damage numbers from my own damage numbers. It would help if they were different colors.

When I hug the wall when moving around the rooms, I get stuck in the places where the doors are supposed to appear.

Despite these issues, the game is very fun.

Developer

Sorry for those issues! Yes, I agree that the enemies' attack interaction can be further improved. And I like the advice that differentiating enemies' damage numbers from allies. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Awesome game! I really liked the central mechanic of having little fellas you control attack enemies for you! It was fun commanding my little knight to attack things. A few things you could improve though:

- The enemies need to be more obvious when they're attacking, cause as is there's no way of telling when you are going to get damaged, and it doesn't feel like you have much control over it.

- It was a little confusing how you could go into the training room and use all these cool allies but they wouldn't come with you whenever you try to go to the dungeon

Overall really cool though, it's awesome how you made a procedurally generated game!

Developer

Yes, very good advice! The enemies' attack indeed needs to be more obvious. I think we didn't explain well that the heroes in the training are only for demonstrating their skills. You need to defeat the dungeon multiple times in order to unlock them.
Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Oh gotcha, that was what I figured but it did throw me for a loop at first. Maybe have it so they only appear there once you unlock them?

Developer

That may be a good idea, or at least saying something like the heroes are for trial only in the training room. Our original thought was to show all available heroes in this game to the players, in case we didn't introduce the heroes well, so at least let the players know they exist lol. Once you defeat a boss and save a hero, you should see a new hero in Home, just like what you suggested.

Submitted

A really quality game! Fun to play and to move around the scene, and I liked the mechanics of the heroes and the sword fighting. Good stuff

Developer

Happy to hear that! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Love the game and music, great polish too!!! i dont finish to understand how much fills into the jam theme but, congrats!! really a good game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for you playing! the theme "together" is filled into that players much fight together with the  heroes to pass level, but it seems we make the enemy too weak, many master players just fight alone and pass the level ><

Submitted

Didn't expect such a fun game in the jam, the mechanism is great. 

Really enjoyed playing it. I think it really have potential to be something I will buy to play.

Developer

Thank you so much for your playing! So happy to hear that you like it, we will keep working on it!

Submitted

Overall a super fun game. I loved the slow power crawl of being able to build a small army behind me. The graphics were good, the flashing enemies when hit was a nice touch. Unlocking new units felt natural and overall I think the game was great.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having some sort of indicator on enemies if they are or have been successfully targeted, maybe make them flash or glow red. Also, if the player is attacking and the followers have no target, they should automatically start attacking.

Overall a super fun game. I really enjoyed it!

Developer

we thought about it, didn’t have the energy to implement it anymore. The gameplay mechanic took most of our time. Thanks for playing. 

Submitted

Nice work, super fun, I loved building up armies to take down enemies super fast!  Would love it if you could check my game out too!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Will check that out

Submitted

Cool binding of isaac style game! Well done!

Developer(+1)

It's indeed a binding of Issac style game! Thanks for playing

Submitted

Really impressed by the procedural generation, I love it! I'd appreciate it if you tried and rated my game too by the way (:

Submitted

good game

Developer

Thanks for playing!

What a fun little ride. I had a great time having a small army of dragons and wizards behind me and leading them into battle. The AI and procedural generation work well, and it's impressive what you put together in only a couple days. The music and graphics are nicely chosen too.

This could honestly be a fully fledged game. Obviously it has some rough edges, with doors closing in front of your companions and such, but it is a Game Jam game after all. I can easily see this being polished up and being made into a really enjoyable, fully-realized experience. Keep up the good work :D

Developer(+1)

Really glad that you enjoyed it! It's our first time implementing a procedural generation game so it's imperfect. We do plan to extend it to a complete game so stay tuned! Thanks again for playing.

Submitted

You have a very cool game! It's great, the music is beautiful and the graphics not bad!

Also, don't forget to play and rate my game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Will check that out!

Submitted

The art style and the music are pretty sweet! I think I ran into the bug you mentioned in your itch.io page, but still, the game is pretty enjoyable.

Developer

Thanks for playing, the bug will be fix later on.

Very cool game !

I love the direction artistically which matches perfectly with the Sound Design. The mechanics of gamedesign are really cool and don't get bored. The room by room method always makes you want to go further and explore more and more rooms. Very good work !! Well done!

Developer

Glad that you like it. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Niceeeee game, but I dive into a room after an enemy attacked me ): Too bad I'm going to lose my progress, but it's a lot of fun to start over

Developer

Sorry about the bug. We will upload a bug-fixed patch once voting is over. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Thanks for playing, and will check it out.

It was really fun, but when I came to the point where I had an army of knights behind me, I became pretty much invincible. Really cool game and nice graphics though!!

Developer(+1)

Yea, lol, thanks for playing

Submitted

As you can see my cover image of my game does not work because the stupid itch server broke somehow, and moderators say this may take a while to fix..., and I really hope someone could rate it, cause trough the submisson page i dont think anyone will click on my game, because it has no cover image, maybe you could check it out...???

Developer

I just checked it out, and left a comment.
