I enjoyed this. I was a bit confused at first because I kept placing the item where it would overshoot(?) the summoning position thinking that was what I was supposed to do, but eventually it clicked to me that the `X`s meant I was not in the right place. Nice work!

Visuals were great! Funny how we both thought of placing candles and skulls on summoning circles to summon demons for our games. Good job.

Great entry.
Art is on point here. Just wish to have more levels, but I had fun with the ones you done.

Absolutely nailed the aesthetic. Loved the eerie audio design. Puzzle mechanics worked well and felt fairly balanced too.

Nice job.

This game is stellar! The concept is simple. But everything comes together to beautifully and makes solving the puzzle feel impactful. I could sink so time into a full version of this game.

Oooh! I really like this, it's a simple idea executed really well. The puzzles weren't super difficult, which I appreciate. I really love the visuals and the audio, it's so atmospheric. Great job!

Fun little game ! Quick to play but just the right amount of time I think! It's super polished and the graphics and audio are great ! It was just sometimes a bit frustrating that I was sometimes so sensible to find the perfect spot (but I'm playing with trackpad so I'm guessing that's it's better with a mouse)! Anyway good job and nice entry !

Fun little puzzle game, simple but the more circles and items you get it became an interesting challenge to get everything right. I especially loved the reveal at the end (which I won't spoil here). Sounds design and visuals were really good, however, the tutorial text on the first screen gets lost against the background, so I would recommend putting some sort of background or border so that the user doesn't miss important information.

Very cute entry! I think this might be most summonning-feel game I have ever played in this Ludum Dare lol, the vibe and mood really hit the spot. I especially enjoy the murmuring of your vocal which sounds like "gameplay gameplay" somehow, I guess we could call it a ritual xD! Overall nice job!

Simple but very very effective! This is great, the mood is perfect with the sounds reciting the summoning, gameplay is clever, I enjoyed it!

That is a very cool entry! I found it hard to position the items in the right point place, but all the atmosphere, art, and audio have been extremely well executed! Good job.
