On the theme: I used the theme to create a game that uses the narratives from two of my other games, as well as their characters, to bring them together with a new character. I also used characters from my paintings in this world.
The very basic premise is that you are teaching dogs to slay demons through prank calls. The demons are the bad energy formed from Josiah's former victims, when they are slain you free their soul to be reborn.
Extras: Through slaying demons you will gain pages for your karmic codex, as well as items that will show up in the gift room. Some of those items will provide buffs. Yes you can unlock a puppy, no I won't tell you how :p
I don't know if it's a glitch or I just failed miserably, but often times a number would be switching insanely fast with another number underneath. I could click the right number but the game wouldn't move on and I couldn't progress.
Who knew repaying karmic debt was so much fun? Makes me want to go and accumulate some more. I loved the premise of this and the atmosphere was incredible - artwork, sound, the lot. A lot of depth and polish for a jam game too.
My only complaint (and this is a very subjective one) is that I had to look at the keypad while typing and so missed out on a lot of the awesome visuals. But this is my fault really for not being able to touch type...
@Coopnasty the number scrambling is intentional (it's tied to demon suffixes, so some demons are naughtier than others) however there is a slight bug in that the scrambled number doesn't turn black along with the real number underneath. Hopefully this is something I can fix later on cos I think it requires redoing the UI. The scrambled numbers were an afterthought when I realised programmers and people who deal with Excel daily were way too good at it :P
If you see the fire particles above the scramble it means you got it and can move on.
Outstandingly awesome! The visuals are amazing, the atmosphere is great, love the quirkiness and the game is about phone-dogs! The only thing I didn't like was that I can't take time to look at the cool art or read the names while battling unless I want to lose very soon after.
Now this is trippy and cool concept, really nice sounds and graphics in this game. Too bad I have to look the keypad to be able play fast enough and I miss all the cool visuals.
Amazing. The game feels super complete and polished, I love the art style and especially the character designs. The gameplay is original and fun, too. The difficulty was just a bit hard, those scrambled numbers always got me!
Well, that was interesting. Too bad I'm not used to using the numpad so I had to look at the keyboard a lot while playing and thus missed a lot of stuff. Didn't make it too far even after a few tries, but the aesthetics were brilliant.

Er, what did I just play ? I don't know if I missed something but I didn't get much backstory at the beginning so I was very confused about who I was and what I was doing X).

Can I rate 10 stars on the Graphics rating? :D The audio part is crazy too (don't mention the funny backstory), but I think the gameplay lacks of something: it gets too repetitive/tedious unfortunately (maybe I'm missing something....).

Anyway, superb work. One of my favourites so far.

My only issue is that I'd love some kind of windowed mode option - Alt+Enter doesn't work.

And yeah, amazing graphics of course. I have to say I truly loved it.
