Don't you just hate it when you wake up to an unreasonable amount of summoning requests?

Don't you think those pesky mortal can sort out their own problems?

Did you think that life would be more peaceful now that you're an ethereal being? Then this game is just for YOU!

The mortals want you summoned again, avoid it at all costs.

Controls:

Walk: WASD

Dash: SPACE

Slash: LMB

Great work, I really like the way you interpret the theme of summon, and the art work is also cool.

The splash screens are gorgeous. I really liked the voice acted intro as well :smile: I thought the interpretation of the theme was really creative and the sprites were really good. I ended up collecting so many movement buffs that I killed myself because I was completely uncontrollable :rofl:

From the screenshot it looks cool! I wish a web/mac build would have been possible, but i get that in these jams its hard to get a build out in general, let alone buils for multipled platforms!

I love the idea and setting, sprites are also very cute :D 10/10 would skip to summon again haha

Very interesting idea here - a swarming game where the monsters aren't the dangerous thing, but instead the stage hazards. Certainly a fun start, and if you guys decided to take this further I think you'd certainly be able to do a bunch with it.

I really REALLY didn't want to be summoned though.

After summoning so many monster in other games, I can finally sympathise wit how they actually feel. It's a simple game and premise but it's fun and it works really well!

215000 points ! I ran into a portal by myself because I was going to fast, very fun concept !

Lmao, I think there is a bug regarding picking up the power ups, I seem to be able to get multiple of them and run around at the speed of sound

regardless, flawless idea! I love the idea of cthulu not wanting to be summoned, it's hilarious

Fun game, nice take on the theme! Got only 51k points (or 57k, cant remember) as I accidentaly rushed right into a portal hahaha. At the start the game was frozing a bit, but after a minute or so it worked smoothly. The lightning you created set the mood very well. Congrats!

Really well made and fun game! A nice twist on the theme as well. The art is great and so is the gameplay.

I did have a couple of issues though. There was a couple times where it seemed like I was being pulled even tho visually there was nothing attached to me. There was also one case in particular where I stood exactly where a portal spawned and lost instantly lmao.

But otherwise I had a lot of fun with this one, great job!
