Summoning Sidescroller
Hello all!
In this game, you collect buddies with various powers, and you can "summon" them to help you overcome obstacles!
Disclaimer: This is our first game jam and frankly our first experience actually developing a game. We've been meaning to learn a game engine for a while now, but we always ended putting it off for one reason or another. As a result, we figured Ludum Dare would be the perfect opportunity to sit down and finally learn Unity. While the final product definitely could use some polishing, we learned a lot about various features in Unity, and we hope to use this knowledge to produce even better games in the future!

Congrats on your first project.
A few things to start with - you should put the controls in the game description (ideally, they should be in-game ofc), or nobody will know how to play or what they can do.
And a cover image and screenshots do a lot to make others want to try your game out. I stumbled onto this game completely by accident.
Ah, and the way the Ludum Dare algorithm works - the more you rate and give feedback to other games, the higher chance you'll get feedback yourself.
