Going a little overboard with particle effects in Unity at the end 😂

Cool exploratory concept, really liked the characters sprites, and the glitch monster

Very well balanced, liked the twist on the gameplay with fighting failed combinations. Art was also very nice!

quite an addictive game! I like the music and how quickly I get feedback on the combinations I try. The idea having to fight the failed combination was also very refreshing.  I did find it a bit easy to spam and summon multiple heroes once I found one working recipe. At one point I had to many that spawning new enemies will push them out of bounds. Had fun with this one nevertheless! Great job.

Thank you so much! Haha, yes it's definitely a bit buggy in terms of keeping the enemies within the room 😂

Genuinely novel conceptually to me. That thumbnail of yours is very compelling and evocative, it definitely drew me in to play. Personally I enjoyed the process of observing the silhouettes of the characters below and figuring out what would best fit their creation, making more than enough oozes and glitches along the way. A solid job, I'm really rather curious what an evolution of this project could look like, as there are so many different directions it could be taken in.

Thank you very much! I've got a couple of ideas for expanding it - one to bring in more levels of combinations, so you could fuse multiple characters together to create more powerful ones, and the other to build out some objectives for the created characters, for example creating the right combination of characters to clear particular enemies :)

Interesting concept and nice art

Developer

Thank you :)!

Couldn't get very far and get all the combinations, but having the characters you create fight each other is a very nice idea! Kinda like you create more mess to clean your mess!

I felt that it was hard to deduce the combos and did not understand if the order you put the stuff matters.

Thank you, really appreciate the feedback :)! I think if I added a tutorial with some examples at the beginning that would definitely help!

Doodle god, but its a character creator. I personally think its a really interesting concept!

Developer

Thanks so much! Yes, I was going for a take on Alchemy crossed a little bit with the shin megami tensei fusion system :)

Nice to try such a forbidden transmutations!

Developer

Thank you :)!

I love the fact that the characters fight against the failed fusions; I really want to create a ninja vs scarecrow vs blob battlefield. I really like the small animations and sound feedback

Developer

Thank you! I had lots of fun coming up with all the different animations, so glad you enjoyed them :)
