Are you?
Because if you’re not, you should be. The process is simple- just connect the nodes according to their number of dots, without crossing any lines. Draw some runes a few times, and meet the man himself!
As you proceed with the ritual, you may see flashes of Crokel in your vision. This is normal- he is just breaking through the membrane between worlds. Don’t be alarmed!
Watch out for the timer- if it reaches zero, you’ll be knocked back to your previous rune! This can pile up. It is best just to summon Crokel quickly and get it over with.
Created over a weekend for Ludum Dare 55.

Great game.
Basic gameplay is fine enough, but being forced to redo puzzles is an absolute ballache, and the frequent rotation of the sigils makes working them out a nightmare.
Both of these combined makes progression feel completely luck-based.
Awesome!
At first I hated not being able to stop the timer, but then I loved it - there should just be a bit more variation on the levels when falling back to a previous level, just rotating them and changing the positions by a few mm is not enough there ;)
Rearding gameplay: I think having to click twice for every connection is a bit tedious especially when fighting against the clock, but considering it is probably designed that way so it works as an app on a smartphone it is probably ok. I still would consider trying to just having to "touch" the bubbles/connections to connect bubbles / break connections, just like you have to just swipe with your finger over symbols to unlock a phone - the connections in that case could get a small "break-me-bubble" in their middle.
Crokels body parts: Not much to be proud of here with these ... eeeeer ... artworks ... ... ... I would like to recommend exchanging them for visually more appealing demon body parts 8)(
Music: A bit too repetetive (needs to be 4* its length) and not "summoningly" enough for me, should start with a ghostlike "booing" on the first level and become gradually more "dangerous" (with the beats and bass) with every level - We are opening a portal to hell, after all ;)
Finishing screen: Asking for a dollar is fair, but also give us a button to go back to title screen and play again. Let us see the total time so that we can try to beat it.
bugs:
- Sometimes bubbles generate on the timer, hiding their connection amount contents behind the (same color) timer.
- NG achievements seem not to work.
Good work!
Good game, through frustrating. Also, the pause doesn't work for me. It hides the nodes and says 'Paused' but the timer keeps going and the levels still degrade.
