It's so fun and chaotic, I enjoy it a lot. Music and art are also really good.

This is just amazing. The animation, art, game juice, and pace all feel great. The length is also perfect for a jam game.

fun game. good pacing right at the moment when you have seen everything and it starts to get a bit boring it ends. well done! also exactly the right amount of difficulty which is impressiv. the animations and arts are all lovely made and everything feels juicy. i felt less like a evil necromancer and more like the poor minion of one carrying all those corpses all day.

Very chaotic between looking to the loop order to the shop and to the screen and I lost track of my character a few times, but the execution of this game is so SMOOTH that I find myself admiring the animations more anyway!

I hope you'll try out and rate my entry too!

I ended up moving around the runes to get what I wanted, which was fun in itself (Corpse pull, Corpse pull, Abomination, repeat) Really well atmosphere and polish. :)

Glad to see I'm not the only one who made a deckbuilding roguelike.

Amazing art and sound, very solid gameplay! Maybe make the mouse a distinct color scheme cause i kept thinking the mouse was a corpse to pickup

Submitted(+1)

Love the gameplay loop- I finished it 2 times! I loved the style and palette so much.
I feel like the corpses expiring inside of the summoning area was a bit inconvenient, but the corpse pull ability made it negligible. Corpse pull op

Loving the chaos , the mechanics have a great potential for varied strategies ! Great work! ^^

awesome concept and really engaging gameplay! it was a little tough to keep track of my player character at times but overall it was really fun coming up with the ritual loop! :)

Submitted(+1)

Well polished and great art work

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and polished game! It's funny but I always end up trying to move my character towards a corpse which ended up to be my mouse...

Submitted(+1)

Fun, well designed game. One of the most polished i've played in the jam so far. I think that the characters could have used more color distinction because i found it hard to tell where i was, where my allies were and who were there enemies when more activity started happening. I also mistook the cursor for an enemy a few times because the colours are same-ish.

Really solid submission! The graphics and art where super nice and polished, really enjoy how the tutorial just feels like you are a playing the game. Great job!

Not sure if I was missing something but found this game a bit hard at first, sometimes the skeletons wouldn't spawn and sometimes they did - once I had the groove though it has got an awesome gameplay loop - was managing to rack up quite the army and cast lots of meteors!

Loved the audio and art style for this, don't know why I was thinking of DEFENDER the entire time.

I think the loop theme may have escaped me a little bit, I was trying to see if I could move my spells around to time it with the loop but it never seemed to work, was always better to wait so I never really felt like anything related to loop was happening.

A good submission, well done!

Really good game. Other people have said a lot of positive feedback so there is hard to add sth. 

The only negative thing i could say is maybe the controls need some tweaking. Would prefere to play this game with keyboard only. There could also be some shortcuts for buying new spells and they could be equiped with some other shortcuts and the mouse would be only for reordering them.

Loved the concept, really fun. Hope you add more enemies and rituals if you plan to keep working on it
