WoW! Nice and really beautiful game. I'm a fan :)

Really well done. Pretty tricky too! I made it to level 6.

Creative deckbuilding game! Took me a while to figure out the card/head placement but very fun once you realize how to play.

Simple mechanics that lead to depth, polished experience with good visuals, audio, and gameplay. Great entry!
Only thing I would have liked would be more tutorial/explanation, but that is hard to do with game jam time constraints.

Incredible game, its so simple and fun to play, the graphics are so good, and creating your own deck its a good addition

So cool ! This is really fun but also it's getting hard in wave 5 lol, couldn't beat it. Game looks really polished for a 3 day game, congrats

This is very cool! The quality of the game is very, very high! But I think for people who played Inscryption there has to be something else to surprise in game design. You introduced some new card mechanics, which Inscryption doesnt have, but it still looks as a very similar game. If you think in the direction of making this game more different from Inscryption (in gameplay or controls), I think this game will become a very successful project! Anyways, this is a very good job, good luck to you guys with this project!

Man the visuals and gameplay are both breathtaking! That must have been a lot of work! Keep it up :DDD

Great game! Fun, good music/sfx, and really good graphics!

Graphics are stunning!

I wish there was a Linux or a Web version, game looks really interesting from the screenshots

I LOVE IT ! The wave 5 is hard (the damage card are so rare) but I realy want to try hard. Well done :)

You are really great! The game turned out great!

Oh god, that's a thoughtful game. The way that there aren't many damage dealing hydra head but more defensive ones, requires us to think about placements carefully.

Furthermore, the fact that enemies move and attack first before the hydra heads can attack means that we need to plan even more ahead. If we don't have defensive cards to go along with the attacker hydras when an enemy is about to attack, we aren't pretty much dead as they die before they can attack.

We need to be clever on each turn :smile: . Reminds me a lot of the game "Into the Breach" where enemies next move is being shown !

I reached Wave 11 and there were still new enemies coming out. I wonder how many enemies were there still to discover (or was it actually actually the last one as it looked like a boss ?) :sweat_smile:


The Grey hydra and the Green hydra saved me more than once in every waves. They are really powerful if used nicely.

Anyway, The game is pretty and well polished ! Really good job on this entry ! :tada:

super fun! well done I greatly enjoy it, feel really nice and given a bit of time to cook I hope to see a full release :3 seems great

This game is great! I love deck builders, and I can absolutely see myself sinking a lot of time into this if there was an expanded version of this!

5/5
yeap this is for sure the best entry. Please do a full version of this game, will buy it for sure.

I managed to get to wave 4, when the Spikehead stopped working for some reason.

The game has tightly fitting graphics for its style.

I think that the music chosen didn't really fit the mood of the game. It felt too lighthearted and distracting. It could have been a melody with a more strategic feel, with focus on harder, lower pitched percussion and rolling drums, rather than the distracting and offputting alternation between the piccolo/flute and the plucked string. The beginning of the song starts more or less well but then the drums start receding into the distance and the castanets overshadow them, and the focus starts devolving to the alternation between the plucked string and piccolo/flute parts. The cello part is cool, though.

In terms of gameplay, I think that there is a lack of Headachers in the early waves, making the difficulty curve a bit steep. Having an extra Headacher in the early waves would be nice.

Good job and congratulations!

Oh wow @gcake congrats for reaching wave 11 ! I'm already struggling at waves 3/4 !
And especially congrats for the team that made the game it's awesome, probably in my top 3 for now ! The music is great and catchy, the game mechanic too and the graphics are simple but really polished. Difficulty might just be a bit hard in my opinion (or maybe i'm just stupid), but I feel at wave 4 their are suddenly too many ennemies + the knights with shield and it's too hard. (But again, that's my opinion).
Anyway it's a great entry, well played !

As I said before the graphics are awesome!

The design of the game is also very interesting, I've never seen something quite like it! I did struggle to create a stragety though. I would suggest a way to replace heads from your deck in case you're dealt a bad hand. RNG can ruin a run very easily and you become unable to do practically anything. Also an ability to reset the game and also make it fullscreen would be nice.

Great job!

Very polished entry with all the tutorial and overall smooth controls and cohesive graphics.

I feel the cards semi-covering the heads is a bit awkward, could just let the player see the heads and let the placement interaction happen on those. Because the cards contain the health and the info but the placement relative to the grid is very important and there is a bit of disconnect there with the cards' size and location. Maybe if the grid cells were as wide as the cards, it would work better?

Wow, this is a really good fully-fledged game, definitely in the top few of all of the games I've seen so far!

The pixel art is for sure the best I've seen. The menu is so satisfying. Loove the text, colours, and stylisation overall! The gameplay idea is fantastic as well - original and well kept to the summoning theme. The card drawing and adding to the deck fully completes the game's loop which is awesome to see so cleanly developed.

Some suggestions:
- Balancing the damage cards a little bit at the start, I died on level one twice (maybe I am just stupid though)
- Maybe it could be more fun to make the card placement based on the lane hitboxes (they can then move to their usual position). It took me some time to get used to the placement.

I love the gameplay, it is so fun and creative. The art is really nice, every head has a unique and interesting design, and that is the best interpretation of the theme I have seen so far. Great job!

This was so neatly done and super fun to play. HARD though, it seems like having as much damage as possible was the only way forward rather than getting cool stuff because if you lose your only damage it's just over so I would have loved to play with the more complicated heads more. An excellent game!

Hey! Game looks nice but is there any way to get a Mac build? 👉👈

pretty fun game! I love the whole idea of dragon's heads as weapons! very clever!

this game is amazing, I enjoyed it and now want to buy it on steam :D
made it to the 11th wave btw

Don't know what to say. Maybe the best jam game I've ever played, super interesting gameplay, very cute graphics, nice sounds, perfect!

Wow, am I playing Cobalt Core's secret expansion, or what?!

Graphics are great, music matches the mood and gameplay just overall feels nice.

This is unbelievably polished for a jam project. The different types of heads and enemies are fun and lead to a lot of interesting scenarios. If I had to give a point of criticism, it's that the theme isn't super strong in the game. It feels responsive and everything is communicated well. I spent a lot of time with this one, it was a pleasure and easily among my favorites this jam!

A very interesting concept! I just wish there were more ways to attack, but otherwise it is very unique!

Well I have to leave another comment. I played a lot yesterday and came back today, what a fantastic game. I believe I "finished" it as I arrived at a point where I could no longer buy cards ^^

Holy cow! This is such a creative take on the prompt, I love it! Gorgeous artwork!

Super fun take on the theme I like how the tower defense elements are used here!

the sprite work it's super well done!!

it It pretty challenging after wave 4 but I had lots of fun with this one. the loop is addictive and I constantly wanna come back to see I can do even better. there's the perfect amount of variety abilities and balance for the heads and it allows for lots of strategy.

This is probably one of the best balanced and polished games on the jam gameplay wise I've played. It would be awesome to see this turned inti a full game, there's a lot of potential

Amazing entry! good job

I loved it!!!

Beautiful and very well built!

I saved it on my computer to play more later!

Congratulations!
