I assembled every variety of object I could into the circle, but it didn't seem to do much. I got one purple plant and summoned a red and green slime, which were annoying to corral into the blades. There was good effort put into the level design, but everything was a bit too spread out, especially with only one summoning circle. Meant that there was much back and forth walking. Additionally, the items seem to have too light mass, meaning small interactions between them send them flying. Overall a good use of your assets and an interesting attempt.
