Invocation: Valdis by FoggyWonk

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

This is my very first original game. I did use some free assets from kenney assets, pixabay, and zapsplat. I struggled so much even with this very simple game. I knew I would so I intentionally kept the scope very small. I am proud to say I actually have a finished product to submit. It was a blast and I hope to participate in the future.

Keep it up; I promise it will get easier each time the more you practice!

i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong, but clicking the runes doesn't seem to do anything?

Cool game, love the art for the runes especially. I surprised myself with how good I was at it haha.

Good job for creating your first game! I liked this simple memori game. If you stick to it, it will get easier over time.

Pretty straightforward ride, keeping it simple from start to finish. Kudos for your first jam; hopefully more to come! Though, gotta say, the difficulty ramps up real quick. Feels like you're diving into the deep end right off the bat. Visually, it's simple but gets the job done nicely. Overall, good hustle!

Good on you for opting out of categories you didn't create (e.g. audio)

Biggest issue I think is the lack of feedback when you click the buttons, or even when you highlight them. Would make a big difference!

I like the art style and the direction you were going with it. It would help a lot to see the runes either after you click them or after the round ends so we could see what we did wrong. Good start and hope to see you in future jams!

Wow thats hard! :D Cool concept! The hardest thing in game development is finishing something so you already done that! Everything else is details :)

First time I've come across a memory game for the theme, neat little idea that.

I feel like having a bit of a difficulty curve would be beneficial. The runes were pretty foreign to me, and I didn't have a way to get used to them before being asked to remember six of them! I won a couple of times, but it was pretty mind-bending.
