the ending is really cute
oh god im stupid i just realized these things we're shooting are just imps with varying expressions
im playing this for the third time, and i only realized rn that firstly you see the goal in the top right, and the next things you're about to shoot in the bottom left i think. and also the butler guy gets more and more freaked out the closer they get
its so funny when you miss an easy shot, and so satisfying when you make an insanely perfect shot straight to the back row, barely missing like 10 imps along the way
right after typing this comment, i wasnt concentrating, and i clicked a by mistake and shot randomly and half of the imps on the screen fell
AND RIGHT AFTER THIS COMMENT I MADE A PERFECT SHOT WHICH FIT EXACTLY SNUGLY RIGHT INTO A TINY GAP LIKE OH MY GOD COMMENTING IS GIVING ME INSANE LUCK
dude its so funnily annoying when you mess up so bad that you need to bounce against the wall to hit something two spaces in front of you, and you MISS. but its a great game im replaying it
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! ITS SO FUN OML
bro if this was offline i would play it :D
very cool game, pls continue making it!

om i hate when it bugs, but its pretty cool
That was fun! I look forward to the updated version.
Very cute! Is there supposed to be a level in the attic? The soundtrack seems to have a song for it but the last button is for the ending.
The last level + extra content is coming soon!
Nice! Thanks for letting me know!
Made a video
This is freaking adorable, and I made it all the way through! I was heckin stressed a few times lol but I made it. Well done!
got stuck at kitchen B due to bad RNG
Cuteness is justice. =3
This was pretty fun.
my friends got to watch me be very bad at this game and we had a blast. 11/10
this game is a pleasure to play.
I love this game! It's so cute and fun to play! ^^
Fantastic game! Clicked on it at random and wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it was.
Fun Game! :>
Really enjoying the game! However, I got a bug report: Both in the web version and the downloaded version (ran through WINE)... I'm not sure if something else triggers it, but what I did was skip all the dialogue and the tutorial, and the final cutscene for level 2 gets stuck on the first line of dialogue - and Esc doesn't let you skip. This doesn't happen in regular gameplay, as I got halfway through level 3 in a previous run, which I had to interrupt.
hi thank you for letting us know! the new builds for html5 and windows should fix it, fingers crossed.
IT DOESN'T SAVE?!
played thru!!!! truly marvellous design and art and music and everything!!! love the story too! this feels very polished for 72hrs! (10/10) thank you guys for making this!
A classic puzzle game, now with more cute demons and banger soundtracks. Love it.
Butler! Summon the Imps! Gameplay
this is so nice
This is really tough, I wish I could *always* see where the pieces will end up... I like the art and music, at least! The characters (I've been able to reach) are all really charming..!
This game experience is a great analogue for my day to day life: aim for something strategic for a great payoff, only to miss by a hair and backfire at myself π
Great work! The ending is cute! If you add a 2 player mode, I'm sure tourneys will run it π
