the Crowd by silverash

[raw]
made by silverash for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Dangerous spikes are blocking your way on pilgrimage. As a strong man, you can push your way forward. As a summoner, you can summon minions to help remove the obstacles. And as a Chosen summoner, you can use the spells to command your minions. Good luck on your way.

the rule is simple:[WASD to move]

This is a puzzle game based on sokoban. In each level, your goal is to avoid or remove the spikes and reach the gate. You are a Chosen summoner. Step on the tiles with animal mark, and a minion will excute the commands listed in the SPELL. The spells are customizable. Try PUSHING the spells, perhaps? How should you wield your power to reach the gate? sc4.pngsc2.png1.jpg

Fun game, graphics are pretty and the style is cool. I don't know if there are several ways to solve some puzzles but i managed to get to the end of some of them while feeling it was not the right way (just pushing crates on slabs, without summoning ^^). Had fun

@mortith Thanks for playing! Some levels are designed to pass without summoning. After all it's a sokoban game XD

The art style is simple and nice, the Sokoban-type game is quick to pick up, and the innovations in game mechanics are also easy to understand. But sometimes I feel a little confused when I have to restart a level due to bad decisions. Maybe when the minions complete their orders, the animal mark will appear again?Allows players to try more spells combinations might be a good idea.
anyway,good job!

I really like the art style with that shader and the 2d characters!
The whole game is super smooth and i played all the levels.
In the last level i was able to finish it without the green summon. Was that intenden?

It took me a bit to get what be going on, I did find out if you die you don't automatically restart, can interact with stuff except win xD I like the graphics, the next level button is cool! Don't forget to heart comments on games, it gives those who did it 'karma' and makes their games more visible and easier to find for those who rate. Thanks for the game!

Art style is phenomenal. I can say that it is in my personal top three among all the games I played in the LD55. Gameplay is smooth and polished. Puzzles are not too challenging which is a plus for me, since I am terrible at puzzle games:)
