How does your game fit the theme?
There are unknown creatures behind the door.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and sprites are made by me. Music was made by a friend for the jam. Sound effects were downloaded from Pixabay and modified to fit the game by me.

I had fun playing it. nice work.
Thank you, glad you had fun!
Amazing gameplay, unique artstyle, climatic music and sounds, very good game!. I've made to 580. I really enjoyed, but I wished there was some ruther progression. because it is very enjoyable to play
Thank you very much! Sorry for the late reply, I got busy the last several days.
Adding a better progression system would be sweet, something I would have to think about so that it felt rewarding
This was a really unique style of gamplay, I enjoyed it. Made it to 534, I really did not want to find out what was behind the door lol. It got very overwhelming after a while tho
Great work!
Haha well I'm glad you were able to keep it closed so long!
very cool game, I like the idea it's very special and I like the pixel art man, very cool. It's a fun game ngl. Overall you've done a very good job.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the pixel art! :)
This is a pretty unique idea. I liked the art and sound especially.
Gameplay is cool, it becomes overwhelming quickly but I definitely feel potential for mastery even with the simplicity of the mechanics.
Awesome job!
Thank you! Yeah I messed around with the difficulty a bit, but I might go back and revisit it
Simple concept and had a lot of fun
Thanks for playing, glad you had fun!
Amezing 💫
Thanks Pocket Hacker!
Amazing game!
Simple, fun and engaging.
The kind of game that should be submitted for a gamejam.
If I get to be picky I would add a better indicator for doors opening from the bottom.
And if i can give you an extra tip on tutorial:
Instead of text, gifs with keybindings would work better. (but that is my subjective opinion)
Very nice art, fitting music and sfx.
Very solid entry. Great job.
Thank you, that's very kind! I really appreciate the feedback, and I think both of your points are valid. A fix might be something like making the light more obvious or have it stick out more at the bottom.
Good game, I love how it puts your straight into the action, I struggled initially to understand exactly which key I needed to press to push back against the doors movement, but once I got that down it was really fun. The music fits and you have a really good sense of pacing as you become more and more frantic trying to keep the door closed.
Great work!
Thank you Pigeon! I wanted it to be a game you could play right away but still ramp to build up difficulty and tension.
Nice game! But i think the loaderboard is broken.
Thanks! The leaderboard is only local highscores unfortunately, adding a networked leaderboard would be fun but that would have to be added at a later time.
Finally a "scary game" I can enjoy, I usually skip on the horror games, cuz they make me feel too nervous, but this one was really nice. I liked the challenge and the overall vibe was great. Well done.
I'm glad you could enjoy it! Horror also makes me uncomfortable so I'm glad I could create something that gives horror vibes without actually being too scary
Exactly, I tried going for a similar feel, if you like you can checkout my submission.
Very very stressful game! Loved the concept and you executed it well. Short and scary, well done :)
Thanks! Hopefully it was a fun stressful haha
Fun game and nice concept ! I though we could hit the monster behind the door at first.
Haha I'm sure he didn't like that very much
Such a cool concept and so well executed! Felt really good about my high score :D
Thanks Weird Orb! It was great watching you play it on stream. Once you figured out the controls you were keeping them monsters hella contained ;)
Wonderful Game! I really enjoyed it and love the idea.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed playing it!
very unique and cool, i also really liked the art and ausio of the game!!
I'd like if you''d also rate my game :)))
Very unique mechanics enjoyed it thoroughly
Thank you! And thanks for playing :)
Great job! Loved the quick paced gameplay, and the art was amazing. Creature behind the door was terrifying!
Glad you enjoyed the gameplay! I actually ran out of time for a different creature behind the door. I had someone designing a terrifying creature that would run at you for the game over but they didn't finish it in time so I made one instead. Although it sounds like a lot of people are glad it wasn't a super scary jump scare haha
Nice art style and atmosphere.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun designing everything!
