Lil' Demons is a topdown highscore based Summoning Game! You've summoned a demon, but unfortunately for you they're not quite what you were expecting. Give the demon objects from around the house in order to appease them!

Unfortunately, your house is big and covered in traps, and the demon is fussy. How long will you be able to keep them happy for?

WASD and Arrow Keys to move.

E to pick up and give things.

Space to dash.

AAGH! I can in fact NOT beat the dev at a score of 320. Very nice art! And very frustrating gameplay. Annoying little spoiled demon.

@zimonitrome hahah yea, the dev score seems to be pretty much almost perfect, there is only some room for improvement on it.

That dev score is hard to beat! The skeleton was a really cool way to get around the map, loved the art!

I love the pixel art, great job creating a spoiled little demon to keep happy. I like the pathing on the skeleton, makes it just a bit tricky to get by.

@iaroslavik Thank you so much!

@tinykidtoo Thank you, I'm glad you like the art and the game! Yea we thought the skeleton was a nice addition, just something a bit extra to add that little bit more of a challenge.

@zwartraider Im really glad you like the game! Happy to hear you like the art as well!

Cool game.

I got 220.
The arrow helps me so much.

Consider this: get A,get B,go somewhere mix A and B to get C.Give C to demon.

@cloistered thank you! Yea we did have that thought, just never got around to making that a mechanic, got busy with other stuff unfortunately.

Always be dashing. The arrow made it easy to figure out how to play the game

It took me a few tries to get around the maze. Great job completing a solid level.

The art is great (i'm just not liking the character too much). The level is really cool to play tho ! Good work.

I got so close. I'm a sucker for any game that gives me a score. I almost had you. Really cool concept. The dash SFX got quite jarring after the 2nd or 3rd run trying to get a highscore.

Great little game! I sadly only could get to 240, I like that you had to run into the things (like the skeleton) as part as doing it quickly. Love the art style you went with, could add pick-ups for different situations, speed boost, ghost mode. Amazing job!

Got the same 320 points twice in a row. I guess I won't be reaching the dev high score of 400 😅

I didn't dislike the skeleton per se, but I feel that maybe part of the map doesn't "connect" with the rest of the game - like, you want to do everything as fast as possible but then you need to stop and wait until the skeleton slowly moves away from your path. Didn't stop me from playing a handful of runs though :)

Its a really addictive game, I like the skeleton since it has a mechanic of its own, witch you can use to make the run faster for you. I had a small problem at the bottom part of the labyrinth though, got stuck twice on the wall dont really know if its a bug or I just dashed in to the wall but yeah. But all around a good fun little game.

Pretty good game. I feel like the little blue arrow that tells you where to go somewhat diminishes the gameplay since you always end up just following the arrow. It would be cool to see this game rely a little more on memory or context clues.

Great idea! It took me a bit at the beginning to understand how it worked (I skipped all the text to test) but I figured out without reading so great job
