The atmosphere is absolutely perfect, everything in terms of presentation here is absolutely top tier. The gameplay is not the most intuitive though, for whatever reason the jump had a very noticeable delay for me which made the platforming very slow since every time I jumped I had to really think about what I was about to do, which kills the pace of the game a bit and not in a good way in my opinion. 

I think if the controls were a lot tighter this would be an absolutely top tier submission because the level design was actually quite great and made very good use of the theme!

I agree, that for a platformer, the character has too much inertia and it would be better to make the character more controlable.
It's just that during the development, I got used to my control scheme, so I didn't rework it

But, however, in my first build it was impossible to control the character in the air at all, and if you accelerate too fast, you won't be able to stop quickly, which was too uncontrollable even for me :)

The art is amazing, I really like this one!

Submitted

Amazing art and the music is quite nice too; really adds to the spooky feeling. The gameplay was difficult for me to grasp though, Overall i thought it was a good submission!

Submitted

I really like the art! The gameplay is a little rough tho.. I also don't quite get the control scheme, but overall it's a nice entry. ^^

Submitted

The ambience and the visuals are great, but the movement is janky and feel frustrating and we don't have any clue where to go and why we die when going to far down

Submitted

Interesting game. Good ambience for the horror vibes. Great visuals. 

Submitted

Cool. It is pretty hard to understand. I like the animations.

Submitted

Great Game! The graphics and animations are superb. There seems to be a lot of depth in the mechanics.

Submitted

I love the horror vibes, however the readability of the game could be a bit better. Anyways, great job!

Submitted

The game is nice ! The graphics are really good !

Submitted

Amazing graphics! :)

interesting game!!!

Playing this game was tough. I played for about 30 seconds and had to stop. very laggy. The attack key should be something other than the 'Z' key, perhaps the space bar.

Let me know the configuration of your PC. And also, how well does the Windows version work for you?

Submitted

I run Windows 10. I played it in the browser. Would you like me to DL it and try to play?

Developer

I just think that the problem may be either in your graphics card or in the export settings. It's just that I don't think the problem is in RAM, since during debugging my maximum value reached only 180Mb

Developer

Also, I noticed that the performance in the browser of the game is slightly worse

Submitted

Looks cool, but navigation is quite difficult, especially when having to navigate downwards. Some UI would also help a bit, like showing what attack type it is. It is also not clear what the player is killed by. Other than that the game atmosphere, art and sound is good.

Developer

Perhaps I needed to make the particles that the character's light emits more readable (they can be used to understand the type of attack)... I wanted to ensure that there was no interface in the game at all and everything could be understood from the environment... But apparently I haven't done enough for that...

Submitted

Had some problems in navigation in the dark, but the overall atmosphere is insane. Sound design and art are well made.

Developer

Try to use first atack)

Submitted

Yeah, I got it. Not figured out how to make it fullscreen to see everything more clearly

Developer(+1)

Download Windows version :)

I just wrote below why I had to disable the full screen :'(

Submitted

Oh, I see

Submitted

really cool visual effects, probably the best I've seen yet!

Submitted

It looks very good, the dithering effect is very well made.

Submitted

Very cool visuals on this game, it really has a unique feel! Though I had an issue with the game not scaling properly, so it looked very small

Developer

I tried to get a pixel perfect effect in the browser, but I couldn't do it, so I had to prohibit scaling
