Great game. Sounds were good. A little music would help really bring it to life. Even something just ambient in the background.
Gameplay was great and the photograph mechanic was brilliant. Nice work on this one.
Very nice game! everything surrounding the taking photo mechanic is really awesome!
Please rate my game too :)
Thanks for the feedback! Also, I just played your game and it was awesome! Great work!
Nice game, I missed some music or ambient for it, but overall it was great!
Yeah, I couldn't really find any music that I liked and a few sound effects seemed to have bugged out when I built the game, like footsteps for example.
nice, I liked the flash system to kill the ghosts, the atmosphere is cool... good game
Neat mechanic. The ghosties are bit tough to shoot sometimes. But really cool vibe.
I enjoyed this game, and it was a pretty fun horror-style game. One issue is that because you can only point your camera in the four cardinal directions, sometimes there would be ghosts in a diagonal direction that would kill me. Also, when you restart from a checkpoint, all of the flash cotton and ghosts are reset from the start, and you are teleported back to the start, which was annoying. Overall, a short enjoyable exporation
Thanks for the feedback! I spent a lot of time just creating the atmosphere so gameplay unfortunately was left a little barebones. I didn't want to give full rotation to the camera flash because I felt it removed all challenge, but something like preventing ghost's from moving diagonally could be something I could implement in the future.
