Very fun game, though I think there should be a ramping price for miners since you can get exponential growth of money by spamming miners. At some point in the game, you can end by spamming the exploding ticks because of your cash flow. Either that, or perhaps the AI of the knight should begin to prioritize miners at some point. It's still fun when you have a ton of money, since it's funny to watch the knight get swamped by imps.

Either way, it's a real fun game, love the art as well.

Hey really awesome! I love games where you can summon minions to fight for you (a bit like my game jam entry also about fighting the hero!). This was really well done. I liked that there was a good variety of ally units to summon. Everything fit together really well! I won on my 3rd or 4th round, still didn't have enough to summon the Demon King though.

My one complaint is that the spike traps look a lot like a wall. When focusing on avoiding the hero or summoning units its really easy to forget about those traps, and with only 3 hearts and I believe no way to heal, it did make a couple playthroughs a bit annoying when I realized I only had 1 heart left.

Otherwise though really cool game and take on the reverse survivors genre!! Great work!!

I just played it with my nephew and we retried so many times, it’s really fun

At first contact, it can feel like you’re surrounded by a lot of information (both in the itch description and the in-game instructions, which can be slightly intimidating at beginning) but once get into the game it feels like such easy to get started!

We died a number of times at the beginning by stomping on spikes (especially for newer players who aren’t very good at playing with keyboards), and the edge checking can be a little not friendly for them

The slime was be often used, the value of ghosts was to be realized at the several rounds later,but we soon realized that the goblin archer was really awesome and it was brought us the first glimmer of victory. The miner was also used very early on, which was great fun for the money snowballing.

Meanwhile, only two downside are that I don’t think the life UI is very easy to notice at first & little bit hard to know what the knight gained when he in high levels

We ended the game with two victories and after the most expensive demon summoned, my nephew thinks this game could going to be a top seller in shop, we really enjoy it!

The music was really good and the game was super addictive. I think the difficulty was maybe a little too high or the rate at which I get currency was maybe too slow even with the miners because I never managed to get  enough for the minotaur lol. Pretty cool!

Very cool game with a very interesting gameplay. I felt that it would help indicating when the player is taking damage because I often lost without even knowing that I took damage. My strat was to hold the knight back with the small minions and always buy miners when I had enough money. When you have enough miners, go for the big 666.

Really good on the mechanics and presentation and I like it! I feel like the mage dominates the playing field when it comes to combat with the knight early game, taking in account of the mage bullets can pass through the walls might cause some imbalance in the game. Overall it is a fun game to play. Nice work for pulling this off within 2 days!

Really solid game, I enjoyed it!. The idea is also very creative, I don't often play as a summoner in different games, so it is pretty refreshing. The music and the art is fitting and good.

it's really fun, we won using only mage then only mush then only slime, but winning using only the demon or spider or demon king was ganna take a very long time (forever long) so, didn't do it, but we won using the miner and ghost and demon king (using only the demon king for damage), then using only the miner and spider, only miner and slime, then found a bug that makes the imp invincible and killed the knight using only the spikes xd

but, if we hold the right mouse button while dying until we see the 'defeat' menu, next time the game start it'll be slowed, and in full screen mode the health bar is covered with the knight upgrades.

overall it was a really fun game, the art, the gameplay, the everything, it's incredible how you managed to make this in only 48 hours.
