It's been a long weekend, but we finally uploaded our entry!

We'd be honored if any of you decide to check it out!

Its finally over! My brother and I have finished and uploaded our game ready for everyone to play. We have made a game where you play as a Professional Magical Mixologist, your job is to fulfil orders of potions once they come in. The problem is you don’t have any ingredients. Looks like you will have to summon them using some dark magic.

We have put everything into making this game over the last 72 hours and hope you get a chance to play test it!

I fixed the WebGL build - it is not perfect but it works. Feel free to check it out :)

For the full experience I still recommend to use the Windows build if possible :)

Let's make a curated list.

I know it's an odd taste, but I like demakes and less serious games.

Try "summoning" a different kind of "phantom":

Hey there fellow ludum darians (ludum dari's? ludummers? ludarians?)!

Ludum Dare 55 has been quite the rollercoaster, hasn't it? 🎢 Let me tell you, finding our game idea was like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded – challenging, nearly impossible, but oh-so-satisfying when it finally clicked! Initially we weren't even so sure whether this was a good idea, but while playing we started to believe in it more and more.

So here's Vocatio!

After a whirlwind of brainstorming, we stumbled upon this idea: shape-drawing spellcasting! ✨ Yep, you heard that right (very original and all that)! I was baffled that so many people came up with that idea, but I love each and everyone of your implementations and ways of using it. The creativity out there is top-notch!

Want to know how to use it to fight in our game? Just whip out your magical crayon and draw away! 🎨💥

So, here's to the late-night coding marathons, the endless cups of coffee/tea/assorted drinks, and the sheer joy of bringing pixels to life! If you want, you can try out our game. We'd love to get your feedback on how to improve.

Cheers

Summon. Kill. Repeat.

You are the one who have to master all the weapons. The only way to master is to test out all the weapons you can get by killing all the enemies

I don't like summoning classes in RPGs. I was confused at the start of the jam, but then I realized that my game could be about summoning something strange. So, I decided to make a game about summoning an elevator.

Thanks for 20 votes! Glad so many of you seemed to enjoy ruining villager's days!

All in all, I'm pretty happy with how Druid Island turned out. I did not have a strong idea for this theme. Honestly, I wasn't too interested. So I just picked an artstyle and ran with it-- following in the footsteps of my friend lootbndt.

Island generation wasn't all that difficult- I had it up and running in about 30 minutes. Some friends came online and I spent the rest of the night playing halo and trying to think of what to do with it.

Day 2, I made the waves move and the plants sway, added flower gathering and villagers and realized I didn't like it. I'd had to cut down the number of creatures you could spawn for scope, so the plants no longer really felt unique. So after maybe 6 hours total of work I stopped and watched most of Fallout. Pretty good show. Not a masterpiece, but I'd recommend.

Day 3, I decided to juice it to the gills, add archer enemies, and see if it felt any better. It did! Amazing what some screen shake and particle effects will do! So I grabbed a mallet, my mortar and pestle from the kitchen, mixed some sound effects at my desk, cranked out some music and ta-da! That's pretty much it.

So for the (maybe) 12 hours I put into it, I'm quite happy. I think maybe I'll take this artstyle and see what else I can do with it. I quite enjoyed the turn based characters jiggling all over a bitsy grid. Maybe a soulslike?
