Summon Break by Brentendo

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

Summon Break is a very short, hellish platformer. In this game, you play as a demon trying to avoid being summoned by an evil sorcerer. Run, jump & fly around the stage to avoid the Summon Circles and collect Pips!

When you are caught by a Summon Circle, you'll have a chance to defend yourself in a game of chance. Pips will be converted in to dice and you will roll against the sorcerer. If you win you can return to hell and continue playing.

Cool little game! The music is terrifying lol. I loved the art and overall mood of the game!
It's funny because we had the same idea of having to avoid portals spawning around not to be summoned by force by humans haha.
Small issues I noticed: it was pretty hard to get more than a few pips, and if you get in the left-bottom corner with the portal following you, you can't escape (maybe it was intended ?).
It would be fun if there were more stats you could improve before being summoned, let me know if you update the game!
Overall, cool concept, cool game! Congrats!

I really liked the visual style and the effect with a 2D view, but at the same time the platforms themselves are voluminous. The gameplay is really hard because the enemies speed up over time, and the pips appear too slowly, which makes it very difficult to avoid enemies after 2 minutes. I was never able to get to level 4. The result of completing a level depends more on luck, not skill. And I still haven't figured out how to get into the bottleneck under the ceiling.

It was so fun! i couldnt really win, but the premise alone of "demon trying to avoid getting summoned" is so cool! i enjoyed jumping around and trying to find "pips" but the summoning circle overtook me fast and often- everytime i came face to face with the wizard i found it eerie and it made me legitimately sweat/scared! what a concept! to be the demon shaking on my boots facing a human! overall enjoyed it very much!
