Still working on it, I think we accidentally published the page before we finished the game, almost done though!

Personally I give it a 1 for mood. Don't feel like we need games were you go around ruining people's lives. The audio is good. Other stuff is pretty decent. Gameplay is exactly what you expect it to be and easy to figure out, which is good. There's also a tutorial which is a nice feature as some submissions lack one.

Reminds me of old Rampage games where you're just there to cause chaos. Some nice effects and funny moment. More exploration and laughs than gameplay but it is still an enjoyable sandbox experience. Very solid Jam entry!

Random person: "Ughh my head..."
Me: Proceeds to drop comically large rock onto their head

I love this submission so much :)) Great art, audio and very humorous. Well done

Really cute art, unique concept, and I love the idea of a sandbox. Lives ruined 61, deaths caused 85, devil's advocacy -24. Was I not supposed to cause deaths? :grimacing: I like how the rock gets frosting when it drops on the cake :laughing:

DA score is just there for fun! It can go up or down depending on what you can do. We wanted to have more specific factors but currently it's just lives ruined minus deaths caused.

Each summoned ability is animated well and has a solid effect. Well done!

Nice music, I feel bad playing this, though. It has fun Gameplay but I feel awful ;-;
Respect that you put this together during a jam! If you like pranks, this Game is very funny. :)

I had fun setting people on fire and dying when I realized I, for the third time, had set myself on fire too!

Impressive to have built a sandbox in such a short time!

I had a bit of trouble choosing a spell was a bit hard (my scrollwheel just went super fast through the options for some reason), but still it was fun! :)

its a neat idea, but as it is, it get old pretty fast

it looks like its ripe to be expanded on, and the graphics are very charming

also "scumonner" is a really good name

The audio is really good it brings a lot of juice to the game, enhancing the overall experience significantly. Great entry

I accidentally caught myself on fire and died. Then on my next attempt, I thought I had cleverly found a secret room by using a rock on a manhole cover, only to drown in the sewers.
Was pretty fun!

Had a lot of fun for the few minutes I played! I liked all the audio details such as the music effect when you die and the various screams haha (the rock is incredible). I also liked how the spells interacted with the environment, that was a cool touch as well.

Took me a while to realize you spawn spells with the mouse button, didn't say in the controls :(

Loved the pun though, that's really clever lol

I was totally grooving to the music while destroying lives. The tonal difference of the music to the subject matter was just the best. :) I wish I didn't have to fullscreen to use the scroll wheel effectively, but that's the limitations of web builds.
