I really wish the player had a lil dotted line to indicate what the shot's direction would be, because a lot of the time I'd feel myself getting screwed over because my shot didn't shoot where I thought it'd be. But other than that I absolutely love the atmosphere it was proper unnerving, you were able to make a really effective visual presentation without needing to go too crazy with creating assets which is very impressive! As a more minor note I think it woulda been cool if the jumpscare image was bug related since those lil dudes were the ones spookifying the player
Definitely a good idea! Thanks for the feedback, its super valuable, and thank you for the kind words they mean a lot. I'm the furthest thing in the world from an artist so the bug/jumpscare discrepancy and limited amount of assets was a result of that.
Scariest bugs I've ever encountered.
Would have liked the camera to be pulled out a tiny bit further. It felt like the player moves too close to the edge of the screen when moving in certain directions.
Really fun experience. Super thankful for the loud noises warning :)
Thanks for the feedback! I might make the camera a little snappier too so its playing catch-up less.
I'm 11 and this wasn't scary
We'll get you next time
The controls are a bit sensitive. It was not clear to me what the goal of the game is. There was no music.
However, the game was programmed well, and it seemed to work as planned
this actually had me scared bro
Hehe
The atmosphere is beautiful!
Thank you!
The atmosphere is good but the scares are too predictable and frequent. I ran into a bug without realizing 10 seconds in and was just confused not scared. When the light went out and I could hear the crying women that was really good atmosphere and genuinely spooky. I think with some changes to the pacing of the jumpscares this could be really scary!
Oh also playing in the browser I accidentally clicked off the game about 10 times because the cursor didn't get locked
Yeah the difficulty tuning on the bugs was soooo bad, a victim of poorly managed time and a limited pool of playtesters. I'm glad some of the other elements were effective, thanks for the detailed feedback its very valuable!
Good game, but i must change my pants.
