Reallly good game.
There's a jar with some kind of poison, I think it would be better to find a way to make the object less attractive, because it made me think I could interact with it. BUT that's not even a problem the game is great. Nice job!
What an original idea. That was hilarious and inventive. Every level got better and better, so I was sad that it was over so quickly. Hope you keep going with this!
Some really neat puzzles in there, and great story and art to.
Got a bit stuck on level 4, the room for error in getting a jump right without hitting your head was tricky.
Great job on this!
i love puzzle game like that. puzzle mechanics was really good. the game got me. nice story by the way. i think necromcer lines was really cool :D congrats for submission.
great game and art, I enjoyed playing it, well done.
Very good. Always fun to frustrate a jerk character, and the art was excellent! Hope you keep adding levels, I'd love a finale in the summon room itself :D
Congrats on completing the game jam! I liked your concept, art, and story. I do wish there had been one final cutscene where the necromancer gave up in disgust.
great game and art, I like the font as well :) did find the controls a bit difficult but I don't normally play games on a keyboard so that might just be me
