[MSDOS] Monster Summoner

It's time to perform a dark ritual on your DOS computer. Light the soul candle and summon as many monstergirls as you can before time runs out. Downloads below!

HOW TO PLAY:

• Press the ARROW KEYS or WASD to move a face tile onto one of the four summoning tables
• If you get four tiles of the same monster onto a table, you'll summon her!
• If you mix different monster types on a table, you'll summon junk!
• Try not to make pieces collide - for example if a table already has a top left tile and you send another top left tile, you'll lose a heart!

Made January 2026 for CGAJam, available as a download for real DOS machines and emulators, or playable in your web browser.

Notes:

This game is essentially a simplified, more relaxed version of the gameplay concept from the excellent Assembloids, which you should definiitely check out. 

I draw to the screen a little too much and this will run slow on a typical CGA card I think, but let me know if you try it on real hardware! Game starts out mostly fair and becomes increasingly less so with each summoning you complete, resetting when you start a new game.
