Forgot to link @love-framework.bsky.social Really cool game framework which Conjurers was built with! Their discord is nice.

Tutorials are tough. I had to redo mine 3 times. Hard to forget everything YOU know and pretend to be a new player.

It's a few hours in and only a handful got that far. Only feedback I got on the Kraken was that it was easy so I made the arms move 2 instead of 1. Lots of variability in what units and cards you can have. Plus luck of the draw. Autosaves each turn too.

Good question. An astute player would see their ability in detail page (right click) and avoid getting close to water (if using land creatures. More than half can swim or fly). Also this is the second boss that goes towards your tower, so they should have a good "tower defense" deck.

Each Kraken Arm pulls every time they attack, so fighting them with Land creatures is dangerous. Spell cards are recommended for this fight.

Flipside, if you were like me and got soft-locked against the first demon boss, not paying attention to the job system. But I did come back in my twenties and played through! GG

LÖVE Game Framework @love-framework.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
The 2026 LÖVE Jam theme is... COUNTER! Maybe your game is made of formica. Maybe you need 💧💧 to cast it. Maybe you just push button to make number go up. You have 10 days! Start your (game) engines! OBEY
