Here's my ball'o'death protecting the great witch:

I found a minor issue though, I accidentally threw a fruit out of bounds and was unable to reach it anymore. I would also like to have some indicator of upgrade status and food level for my summons.
I didn't run into any issues and there were several surprises I enjoyed:
-A max upgraded summon does a cute little headshake.
-A carried summon keeps on shooting like a good little buddy.
-I greatly appreciate the decision to let you respawn for free in the context of a jam game.
-At the end of my playtime, my computer sounded like it was making popcorn.
I'd love to see this developed with more upgrade choices and character types. Your art style and minimal game design choices are top notch.
I honestly ended up playing for waaay longer than I probably should have, it's just super engaging! I love my cute lil demon guys and giving them their lil oranges! <3
I think if there were more upgrades, and a couple different base demons you could summon, I could honestly put hours into this. Super fun game with a lot of potential! Incredible job! This is my first game of the jam that I'm putting all 5s across the board! ^^
Respawning was a really nice touch.
Anyway, great job, makes me want to see more of it! :smile:
I'm glad there was a revive button because ngl I got attached to my little fully upgraded guy LOL
5 stars all around
I will stop there, the game become very lagy with so much bullets on the screen. ^^
But I'm satisfied. I can now die in peace... :relieved:
