Dude that was hilarious, each summons made me laugh :D

Also it looks like you made a custom engine ?

It's so cursed I actually laughed when accidentaly bringing one of the mages back to my cave lol
Music is a bit repetitive but overall had a fun time with this

Nice that you are using your own engine! Ended up kidnaping my victims and building summoning ritual out of them. Also left my fruits in some summoners worlds :D

I was asked to get a beer so I rake them to death. 10/10 would be summoned again

The camera is too sensitive and not comfortable. You can easily turn upside down and look behind the walls. The idea is interesting and funny

I love your take on the theme, I don't think there's any other game out there like this.
The graphics are ugly in a beautiful way, and the fact that you used your own custom game engine is very impressive.

I think the game needs some kind of goal or some kind of risk. It would be really cool if you had to fight the other wizard when summoned to really sell how stressful the life of a summoned creature can be.

This is a very hilarious game. And it's very cool that you have your own engine, which you even managed to port to the web. Great job!

Good job. I wasn't sure what to do after a bit, but it was amusing. Interesting choice doing your own engine, I'll have to check it out!

Really amusing idea, I wasn't totally sure if I was putting the berries in the right place or not because nothing seemed to change after I took them all off the trees. It's awesome that you made your own game engine for this though, and really liked the design of the main character. Nicely done!

**That was weird**

One of the best takes on the "summoning" theme I saw around.
Carrying anim was a tad slow. Apart from that, the gameplay was smooth, intuitive and cozy. Deffo a like, would play more.

This felt like playing someone's fever dream, and I mean that as a compliment. Definitely a unique experience.

I love the game, all the diffrent scenarios, but eventually it gets really repetitive, overall I love d the game, the fact that you can see the thought of your character and decide the outcome I just love it, good job, keep it up!!!
