How to play: (the game needs a tutorial sadly)

1. You summon demons by pressing WSAD on keyboard

2. You can complete orders at the top to gain life

3. you life slowly ticks away. Reach 0 and you lose!

Initially wanted just to participate in a jam, without a compo, but SOMEONE told me, that its for solo devs, and the rules are a bit stricte, but its "elite" category.
And i was sold, just didn't use any assets for sounds (my voice there) and graphics (thanks god for the emoji) -these second as can you see not my specialty. And it was fun to tinker around it!

If you're gonna rate it, i'll happy receive feedback about the concept also, beside the implementation (that is clunky, and i could spend more time on it).

Some ideas that I had:
- earning gold instead of life, as a different currency
- going more into venture capitalist vibe, where your demons make more demons ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).
- balance the orders
- more demons etc (infinite scaling of difficulty)
- power-ups that helps you (with what exactly? IDK)

Thanks for hosting!

Fun design.

Could use some tweaks to make it read easier. E.g put orders and demon storage in a table where each row is for a type. So its easier to se what is missing in each order.

And use color changes for selected summon type (row) and missing/completed order parts.

But core loop works nicely.

Hey that's a cozy game! The UI elements were spaced too far to the left & right: would be chill-er if I didn't have to glance left & right to mash thru it. Other than that, very stmooth UX and nice visual repr. Well done!

Some sort of a "downtime" between the actual "runs" (such as narrative bits/upgrades or whatnot) would improve it considerably I think.

I also suggest you go and thank that SOMEONE who told ya to go compo :P
I believe compo's the :muscle_tone1: and you've just proven me right once again hehe

Well done!
