I'm a sucker for alchemy type games where you get more and more added to your collection the more you complete things so this was right up my alley. The art work was adorable! I will say though, there were a couple of bugs. One, after you summon an Epic Monster, and you go back to continue collecting more monsters, if you summon another Epic monster, the text on the screen overlaps and does so over and over again if you continue making Epic monsters. Also, I realized that it only required one Epic material to summon one of the Epic monsters, not two\/both of the materials. These are edge cases and more nitpicks than anything, but I figured I might as well let y'all know since I found them.\nAlso, I tried every single combination possible (like I wrote them down and crossed them off), but I still didn't unlock 5 of the monsters. It was driving me a little crazy. I also took screenshots in case you would like to know which ones were missing. This may or may not be a bug, but also just figured I should mention it.\nThank you so much for your game! It was a lot of fun and super enjoyable!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1042018,"author_name":"AlmaLewis","author_uid":"almalewis","epoch":1713265661,"text":"A fun simulation of summoning strange pok\u00e9mon.

Seeing the different outcomes of the ingredients is the best part. I loved the animation and sound for changing out the summoning board. The artwork is absolutely stellar, it's the right amount of silly and serious at the same time. \n\nIf you expand on this concept with more monsters, enemies for your summons to fight, and specific quests for your monsters to complete, this would be an awesome warlock\/wizard\/summoner sim that I could see see selling well to casual and hardcore gamers alike.
