Necromacer
The game is simple; kill monsters, resurrect them to fight for you, and build an army!
This game was made for the 2025 Pixel Game Jam (Theme: From the Dead) and is my first Game Jam submission, but I tried my best!

concept's awesome. simple but works well
Thanks!
Simple but good idea. It definitely can be improved later.
Agreed, I’m happy you liked it!
This is very goo
Thank you! We tried our best!
oh ya very nice
:)
Peak game.
Glad you like it!
Great game, simple but fun. I loved the pause feature. The only """"bad""""" thing is when I press "How to play" I cannot go back, I discovered later that I needed to use "esc" key. You should add a button "back" or something like that. Despite that good job!
At the top of the screen it says “Tab/Escape to exit”, it’s meant to teach that those keys do stuff in the UI (for like the pause menu). Happy you liked it!
Oh sorry! I didn't see it xD. If you have time give a try to my game :)
fun game. I really enjoyed the resurrect the monsters to help you mechanic. I think it is the most creative take on the theme. but I think its really hard. I don't like that you can only attack on the side. I think it made the game harder the it should be or maybe its just skill issue. Anyway great game
That was done so that the player would have to rely on their army and so that they weren’t too overpowered. The game takes practice, but I feel that that makes it more fun in the end! Happy you still enjoyed it!
This Game is pretty fun, I really like the method of walking the zombies near other graves before killing them so you can summon more zombies faster. For a game-jam game it feels pretty full and fleshed out, especially your first. If you wanted to continue this idea There's a lot of ways to expand and you have something pretty unique. Only real critique for the time limit is some of the art could be better but none of it sticks out as especially bad. Great job!
Thank you so much!
