The End can be Transformed Captura.PNG Greetings, your malevolence! The Frame Wizard has left you powerless and without subjects; you'll need to create more of them.

core mechanics of placing and combining creatures works well , i expected some tower defense but nothing happened no mater how much i spawn or click on '1' , cool introduction tho and i like tutorial implementation. Also audio is perfect , i would spend on this game nights :D

@Kriss4l this is not a tower deffense, is an alchemy game where you can enjoy making your new mosters and objects while you advance in the main "history"

Nice work, I made it to the +1 screen and got the egg but didn't manage to summon the dragon. Had some trouble getting things offscreen with right clicking not working for me. Mostly just trying all the different combinations to see what happens but kept me engaged. The alters looks good and I like the little frog sprite. Well done.

I like a lot of what you have made, the graphics and music is nice and I'm impressed with the main mechanic. But I had some issues with the right click not working and also stacking summons made them z clip.

@glassar you can remove the last item right clicking in the buton that yo use to select it, maybe we didn't explain it correctly in the game

Cool concept with some chill music. Would love to be able to drag the items that I place to sort my board a bit.

Cool concept, but difficult to organise the screen since things can't be moved after being placed so it got a bit messy/chaotic!

Couldn't get past first summon, after I transform the pig into a demon, no summons seem to work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Really nice alchemy game. Kinda reminds me of the mobile game that I used to play.

This was fun, but I agree with others that it would've been nice to be able to move/delete summons after being placed. The sprites look great.

The concept is cool! I couldn't get anyhting to combine after the pig and the book though... Seems like the tutorial stops a little too early?

@deantwotwo The idea is that the player can improvise and try all possible combinations of mixes. SPOILER ALERT: have you tryed to merge the pig with the goblin?

Sick art! I love the chemistry idea of just trial and error.

Nice little game. A feature to move the object around would be great. Well Done

Can't seem to get past this stage. The End?

@super-hadoken yes, this is the end, because of time, we couldn't do any final scene.

Hilarious and so much fun! I was thrilled to see a second part of _Frame Wizards_ because I love the concept. It’s like *Scribblenauts* but with a lot more humor that had me laughing out loud, and I absolutely love it. Have you considered refining this game and turning it into a tech demo? I think with polished graphics, some improvements to the tutorial, gameplay, and the addition of new interactions -while keeping that signature humor - it could be something really special. Personally, I would love to play that tech demo! Again, great game!

Interesting game play. I thought the intro was well done. Ah..time, the bane of ever LD developer.

Nice idea, I got to the egg but couldn't get the dragon.
The core game is quite fun, but the room quickly get overloaded with creatures all around, making it hard to know what you tried and what you haven't ^^

Congrats on making the deadline though, it must have been tough to try to fit all this in it!

It's an interesting game, but the visual style scares me.

Really interesting concept, I liked that the combinations make sense. I think it could have done with some more feedback to tell the player they've successfully merged, but all in all a really good effort!
