FYI - Your game is currently password protected on itch, so I couldn't check it out!

Gee, thanks @koolruz ! I thought I had removed it, but somehow I must have not saved after.

Small game, but quite nice

Cute little game, I liked how the puzzle felt obvious in retrospect but that just serves to help ensure people get the puzzle. nice design

It's short, but good idea.

I admit defeat. Found three clues, and tried several patterns, but gave up in the end. 🤷‍♀️

Hahaha I have definitely done that before as well, it's hectic getting everything pulled together! I double-checked my release about five times because I swore I was forgetting something (and I feel like I still am lol)

I just finished the game, now that it was up for real! I had a really hard time figuring out how to make the pattern "bloody" (I didn't realize the color changes were based on which torch you started from), but I got there eventually! I got a good laugh out of putting the pattern in upside down at first :)

Simple concept, interesting theme, the artstyle reminds me of chips challenge!

I like it! Simple, but effective! Only thing missing for me was some killer harpsichord or pipe organ to give it that spooky vibe :D Great job!

Thank you @skyler-newsome, looove what you did with Harod!!

Sadly my planning for this jam was really messed up so I ended up cutting maaaany corners (I think it shows mostly in the sound design that is... sparse, to say the least ^_^), like I litteraly rushed in the entire clue system during the last hour of the jam... I really wish I had time to add music too :(

Many lessons to be learned from my first ever jam, that's for sure.

Short but sweet puzzle

also funny bug: you can move after winning the game, so I can start one of the game overs and the entities I summon also beat them up hahaha

@mrgaberson haha yeah I know I noticed! Not really a bug but a feature (in the sense that I was aware of it but too busy finishing a million other things ^^')

Another fun experiment is summoning the good demon then immediately summoning the evil one as well and survive long enough to see who wins that battle! It's doable.

I couldn't solve the puzzle but I enjoyed the premise!

I tried making a star and got wrecked XD

Good work!

As the name implies, took some tries for me to find the correct pattern and color to summon something.
Fortunately I know how to draw diagram so I could complete the game. I ended up drawing 2 diagrams.

I'm trying real hard to figure out what the evil pattern is, but i love the idea of this simple puzzle and how the game make me feel.
now i worked it out by googling something about it! i like it! (forgive me because in our culture it has different meanings)
