It's unanimous that summoning monsters is a trade staple for a mage. But not a thought dares tread near what happens behind the scenes while our hero waves their staff. Enter you, a new hire for SummoningService(TM), the back-of-house machine that is responsible for spitting the monsters out of the summoning spell's portal, *promptly*. You only have 10 seconds before the cast time expires, don't screw this up.

Tools Used

Godot — Game Engine

Reaper — DAW

Tyrell N6 — VSTi (SFX design)

BBC Symphonic Orchestra — VSTi (Music)

What is this, some kind of *Cast Time?*

Neat little game to test the reflexes! It felt a little less responsive than it should've been, but I'm not exactly sure. Also, the moving pink bubbly background was very noisy and made it difficult to see. After playing for a while it caused a little bit of eye strain.

Very hard game! Takes a lot of quick reflexes to get used to

Nice game, it's pretty hard but fun once you get the hang of it. Music is good and I like the pixel art, my only issue is the scrolling background which makes it a bit hard to read the game at times. Good job overall!

Cool reflex game! As Vegeo also said, the inputs felt a little bit less responsive than it should. The background of the board being transparent, paired with the scrolling background made it a bit hard to see.I also got an impossible level that broke my streak :laughing:.

But overall, I liked the vibes of the music and gameplay. Nice job!

Great music, nice logo, simple idea but fun. The text at the beginning clashes a bit with the background. After playing a while, it got a bit repetitive since the difficulty wouldn't increase and I could play almost indefinitely. A great entry nevertheless.
