[raw]
made by SoBad for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

As the world's foremost expert on Sir Alfred James Munnings, only you can differentiate his art from a series of creative works!

Some Munnings are present, but watch out for tricky counterfeits and increasingly-complicated certification requirements!

Very funny game, I like that it doesn't take itself too seriously and kept catching me out! Got a final score of TOO MUCH Nice work on avoiding the theme too ;) I've done the same with some jams haha.

I didn't see any summoning, so I couldn't summon up a decent rating

That was easily the funniest game I've played so far in this Ludum Dare as well as last Ludum dare. It's such a simple concept done to perfection, awesome job!

Interesting concept, had a lot of fun playing. Sadly no summonings anywhere to be seen

Great work. The humor is on point here and the gameplay is simple and easy to grasp. I may not have summoned any demons but I did spot SomeMunnings. I get it but maybe shoulda opted out of the theme lol. 4 stars!

Really funny game. People in the comments are complaining the game doesn't have any summoning, but I think the wordplay on the theme is great. It makes for an original concept that stretches the interpretation of the theme to make something fun.

Easily the most I've laughed playing the games so far. Really creative and very well executed. Loved every bit of it!

This is a message from Mr. Gam Eratin:
> 'tis is definitely not a "summoning" game, but after looking at the 2937523rd pentagram and demons in this jam, 'tis was a nice and funny submission with absolutely great sense of humour, very chaotic, meta and funny

Good job! :laughing:

What a great game! Such a fun concept with every aspect leaning into the absurdity of it all. Fantastic work!

Too bad it's not a female artist. Why not? If the gender of the artist has no effect on the game ;)

Honestly, I didn't notice the summoning theme in this game. But the game itself is cool and with an interesting idea!

Who needs summoning when you can get some munnings? This game is Deep with a big D.

Don't know much about horses, but that man sure knew his horses. A fun lil' game. No clue what this has to do with the theme of the jam, but hey, I liked it.

It took me a while till I realized what was going on but once I got it, this was hilarious to play :joy: Great art, fitting music and unapologetically ridiculous humor. Wonderful take on the theme!

Oh man, that's easily the funniest game I've played of all LDs I've joined ! That's amazing, thank you for that !

I absolutely loved this! I love good – and not-so-good – puns, and even though you might not get great points for theme, I hope the points you get for humor more than make up for that. :smile:

So, nice twist on the theme, and really solid delivery!

This is by far the most creative and hilarious take on the theme I have seen (I'm sad for all the people in the comments who didn't see it). Loved it!

That's a clever idea, it's super fun. It's just perfect for a few minutes game. Fun take on the theme, goes well with the humor of the gameplay.

Beautiful. I hope my 5/5 on the theme can help balance out the people who didn't get it. In a genre dominated by "funny in a gloomy way" games, this is funny in a really really funny way. The gameplay is snappy and satisfying too, and the loose nature of the scoring text makes the weird rulings sting less :D

Sometimes the most brilliant take on the theme goes over the heads of people. Congrats on the humor victory, it was well deserved!
