Awesome game! It's the first one I played all the way through. Super fun puzzle game, and I love the theme!

Very cool puzzle game. Gave it a nice twist with the monster values and summoning. Well done.

I love when the cubes bobbed up and down, that was a nice touch. I also liked how the game kept adding new wrinkles to create greater challenges, and I liked how you fit a puzzle game into the theme. Soundtrack was dope and the orc sprite is ballin. Also, I've seen the extra effort that goes into throwing in a tutorial level, so that's always appreciated. Nice work!

Sum----Mon----!!!!! Very nice

Did all 10 levels, thought it was a well presented logical puzzler. Would happily play more, especially if extra mechanics were added like creatures that double their row/column or count as different values on different sides or something.

@the4thcircle Totally! We were thinking about incorporating different math operations some how!

@jackofcups Thanks for the kind words! We're really pleased with how it turned out!

Finished all 10 puzzle. Fun puzzle game with well designed theme, graphic and music. It can be seen that it will become rather difficult if the rank of the map raises. but you end it at the proper time. Nice work!

I love the clever play on words for the theme, the art, and the concept for the puzzle! The UI and UX were well done and the sound effects were a nice touch! Great work!

Having a tutorial in a jam? What a blessing! Nice job and really liked game, I feel like if this was a mobile game I would completely burn it on a train ride. It would be a nice touch to remove characters with right-click. Other than that, nice game!!

You polished the game really well. Simple concept, but greatly delivered! Had fun playing. The game is easily expandable with new features if you wanted, different math operations would be a blast.

Wow! Very polished game for a jam game made in 72 hours! :open_mouth: Great job ! I made it to the end and after a while it reminded me a bit of sudoku because i was searching for spots where only one combination was possible and than tried to solve the puzzle from their. Great game, love it! :grin:

I didn't see the time passing...

very nice and fun puzzle game.

As someone who greatly dislikes math this was surprisingly fun! A refreshing take on the theme, good job!

Love this puzzle games

This was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed playing through all the levels! As others have mentioned, I too really appreciated the tutorial section :smile: You were super creative with the theme, and I like your art and sound effects too! A really lovely entry. My only nit is that it was not at first obvious that we could remove/delete sum monsters from the board to try again.
Also, I see what you did there with your game description and character name :laughing: I would love to see more if you continue with this game! Congrats, and super well done!

Nicely designed puzzle, creative use of the theme. I had fun playing it, well done, great submission.

Really cool game! and nice take on the theme. As I understand, you guys are maintainers on excaliburjs, it looks like a really great project :)

@nox282 We are the maintainers! Thanks for the kind words :heart:!

I have a really nice time while solving a puzzles :D

I like this game! You guys are great!

Incredible mood, although it seemed short for me. I would have liked it to have more levels.

What a good game with some solid puzzles! Great work incorporating the theme :smile: Keep on making games!

Great puzzles, those last two were real thinkers! Great art, best puzzle game I have played so far

Wow i like it. I love this art style and idea!

Very good execution of a solid take on the theme - really scratched the logic puzzle part of my brain. Beautiful graphics.

Sudoku with summoned monsters. I like it! I like the simple presentation, and the interface is pretty intuitive.

One improvement would be to pause longer once the player solves the puzzle. Since I solved a lot of the puzzles from intuition, the quick fade to black didn't let me linger on enjoying my success. Not a big thing, but I think it would help with presentation.

Good job!

Wonderful game. I loved how easy it was to try something, then undo it with the mouse. Great interface, and fun twists. Thanks for sharing!

I liked the style of visuals.

Please, release more levels! I'm addicted! haha

@guilherme-tartari We have a post jam version https://excaliburjs.com/sum-monsters/ look there for more levels soon. I should haves some done today or tomorrow.

This is a nice math puzzle game, and the art style is very cute.
I have developed a similar game recently, I didn't include pre-placed numbers, which is a nice touch in your game.
I can see you are making more levels, maybe using randomly generated maps could be an alternative. You randomly place numbers in an array, calculate the values of the sides and then give the player access to the numbers in the array. as for your negative numbers, you can preplaced them for the player.

Very fun puzzle game, loved the art style! Also great pun on the theme!

Wow, this one is definitely goes to bookmarks. I really liked the concept of math puzzle and the way you played around the Jam theme. Great entry!

The only small suggestion, is to add some extra button around WASD QE (etc.) to remove characters along with DEL/Backspace. For instance, I don't have a numpad and running from num keys (1,2,3, etc) to Backspace and back quite a long trip :laughing: Anyway, this is minor thing.

This was super fun, I loved the math puzzle gameplay and it got pretty tricky nearing the end; had to do a lot of guess-and-check, but it was enjoyable trying to figure out certain states based on if it could logically happen. Some more levels would definitely be welcome; the art was good too, and the music fit, even if it was kind of repetitive. Nice job on this entry!

This is a really fun game!
I absolutely love this.

If you brush up the music and make this a full game (mobile or not), I would 100% buy this.

was a lot of fun. Could play it some more :D

Very nice! I loved this!

UI wise, I would have loved to see current totals displayed when you summon monsters, even a preview would be cool as you hover over the spots. I am going to let my 9 year old play this tonight!

Enjoyable puzzles. How did you design them? I'd say visually the preplaced reducers could have different colored fonts. And as has been mentioned, current total and indication of removing/repositioning units would be helpful.

I didn't vibe with the music. I could imagine more melodic, perhaps cheerful, tune to fit the cute summoner better.

Good work!

Oh, this was great! I really enjoyed the puzzles. Great level design, it was very fun to play and felt like a smooth progression of difficulty.
The presentation was good, the music and art were cozy and fitting. I like the colors you used!
And I love that the ranger and knight gave negative numbers, it fit well with summoning monsters.

Incredibly well made! Your team has a lot to be proud of~✨

@jerem-watts Thanks again for playing!

Really gun game! I think the theme of summoning cod be used in a more cretive way, but the game is so much fun I won't bother. It's a great puzzle game and reminds me a lot of Sudoku. The sound design and music create a weirdly eeirie mood that strangely fits really great with this game. Overall, very noice!
