Summoning Survival

The Summoned Summoner Survival

My first Jam alone! (my second Jam so)

So many things I want to add, but I have to know stop.

I hope you will have fun playing. Balancing is whatever, but hey…

The theme didn't really inspire me at first.
But in the end, once I got into the code, I spent a very nice time.

I'm bad at drawing and music. So I collected some assets (listed at end of the game, at credits). But I coded everything from scratch starting Saturday noon.

Gameplay

Escape from enemies.

Move your summoning circle over poor creatures to sacrifice.
Then press the button that appears to summon a demon.

Different sacrifice make different demons.

When demon is near an enemy, they automatically hurt each other.

Will you surive long enough to face the king?

How to play

The game was designed to be played with a controller.

But the browser version may not detect it.

The gamepad buttons have been mapped to:
- Left stick → key board arrows
- A, B, X, Y → num keys 1, 2, 3, 4
