Cute graphic. The main title scene is attractive.

I hadn't seen the how to suffer hint and rushed into game thus didn't know I can attack by myself. But only to try to move around and grasp chances to summon ghosts to guard me also performed a gameplay :D

Dashing around is pretty fun, although sometimes I felt that enemies attacking you isn't visible enough (as they just seem to walk into you instead of having some kind of an attack animation). Art is nice too.

Took a while to figure out a good strategy, so I had a good deal of fun with it. Kudos!

Really good looking. (hard time with key mapping when not qwerty, you should switch to the input system of unity for key place instead of key mapped).
Congrats for the word game :)
A nice implementation of the concept.

Pretty fun!
Nice to see a detailed tutorial and solid core mechanic, which fits game nicely due to good balancing.
Artstyle and audio are also a good fit!

A bit hard, but I had fun dash everywhere trying to summon as many units as I could to defend me

Very interesting game. It's fun to run from hordes of enemies, pity that our character's damage isn't very high, I would like to help my ghosts more :)
Great job!

Cool game! Very nice graphics, fun gameplay, though it's pretty short. And special thanks for a detailed tutorial!

Really good concept, the difficulty ramps up quickly so you have to git gud fast :joy: I spent most of the time summoning allies and running away than attacking. Graphics really nice and music/sound helps buils a good consistent theme. Well done!

Really fun game, love having to manage both your own defense and having to call ghost in the meantime

Great game, best one I have played so far. Would love to see more maybe some different levels or different summons.

Nice cover, good graphics, good sound.
It’s sad that you die quickly and don’t feel the damage from your enemies.
While playing, I tried to walk in a group of ghosts.

It is a very unusual and atmospheric game, the visual is quite interesting, it looks stylish and restrained! Good luck with your project, I would have played it more than once!!!

Why did it take me so long to stumble upon a treasure of a game like yours? There must be a glitch in the LD's recommendation algorithm! :D Seriously, I'm a huge fan of pixel art, and the game you've created is so adorable and enchanting that both my girlfriend and I have been completely captivated by it.

Love the aesthetic! Really solidly put together, took me a few goes to start getting too far into it - but enjoyed the time! Didn't quite manage to kick the habit of running away into a corner and becoming fatally trapped...

Ohh interesting concept! But I feel like the summoning tombstone is not random enough? Totally fine though. The art is also looks so good!

Really nice artstyle and I loved the music and sound effects, especially the summoning sound effect, so cute yet so haunting haha. Kept letting the enemies get out of hand a bit but thats on me not you. Great work :)

Overall really polished game! I like the mechanics and the feel of the dash! I feel like the game could definitely be expanded upon to have more summon variations or upgrades to the character. Great job!
