Nice and spooky game. I enjoyed playing it! Fits the theme perfectly. Graphics and models are well made. I didnt take small bugs that you already know into consideration. Well done!
Thank you for playing!
Fairly simple graphics, but managed to spook me several times! Nice game and fits with the jam theme really well.
You're right about the overly sensitive mouse, but if you are careful with the movment it's not too bad :-)
Great work for the week.
Thank you for your reply! I think the game has achieved its purpose.
The game is cool, it scared me a lot, good job.
Thank you for playing!
Well. Thumps up for creepy environment and ambient sound..
Other than that I got no idea where to go in the game. I was running away from a hole and collecting batteries. Every time I entered a tunnel I keep ending at same place.
I am soo noob . Is any instruction or guide..?
Thanks for playing! Turn left at the first junction and jump into the pink hole to get to the second level.

Yes, my goal was something like that. Thanks for playing!
At first I didn't even see the black hole, would be nice if there could be some light emitting from it or something similar to make it more visible. Besides that very cool Game :D
Light emitting is a good idea! I was already thinking about how to make the holes more noticeable. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
it is my imagination or the textures look like people? at first i was worried this would have jumpscares, but the atmosphere was good.
I'm not a fan of jumpscares but later there will be some of them in the game. Thanks for playing!
Well done with the creepy atmosphere! The ambient sounds and the textures that looked like they might be made of rock or something more organic helped with it. I liked the "combat scene", too.
Criticisms/Suggestions:
The flashlight flickering was a little bit spooky in the beginning, but when it happened constantly, it got mostly annoying.
Holes were scary the first time since they were so strange, but once you fell into one and just got instantly teleported back a little bit, they lost their edge. You could have something weird and scary happen when you fall into one, like some hard-to-understand visuals and audio, or having the walls surround you and either shrink tight enough to crush you or grow wider so you get to experience vast emptiness. Or what ever you can think of!
The puzzle was hard to make sense of, I wasn't sure where I ended up when I dropped into the pink/purple hole. I just brute forced it.
Thank you very much for the detailed review! I'm planning to upgrade so I'll use your suggestions.
I liked the game, graphics are good and can you rate us please?

Cool design. it is fun and the holes are scary ahaha. I played as much as I could until too scared (I don't like horror games hehe) Great job on the graphics too and grats on submitting a cool game to the jam. Please check out mine if you haven't.
Thanks for playing! I'll check out yours.
Spooky , atmospheric game there. Wish the mouse sensitivity was a little bit lower. By the way the audio is decent.
Thank you for playing! Bug fixes in progress.
The theme was really good and you guys managed to make the game scary, great job!
Please rate our game we also created a puzzle game!

Thank you! I'll look at your game.
Very scary! controls were off
Thanks for playing! I'll fix the controls.
You somehow managed to make holes scary well done! I found myself fighting the controls a little bit, but it wasn't enough to make me frustrated or want to stop playing. Good job :)
Thanks for the reply! I'm glad you gave the game a chance. I'm trying to improve the controls.
The controls are a bit off. But the game looks cool
Thanks for playing! I'll be working on improving the control.
Very Good Game!
Can You Rate My Game, Pleas...
I already rated your game two days ago. And I left a comment. :)
Thank you!
man the environment and also the music is really make me like i'm on some dark continent. its cool scary game xD
Thanks for playing!
Nicely made. I think I ran around in circles a lot.
It's a bit difficult to navigate, but it makes the atmosphere even more creepy.
Very creepy vibe. Freaked me out the first time I saw a hole spinning around a tunnel and flying at me. I love the aesthetic in this game in general. It took me a while to realize whether or not my grenades were effective against the holes, it was hard to tell how to use them at first, but not bad at all once I got the hang of it. Great job on this.
Thank you for the feedback! I am glad that many people liked the rotating hole enemy mechanics. More holes are expected in the future update.
This was really interesting to play. Though I think it really needs a sound effect for the holes and I also found a bug where if you spin around enough times in a single direction your camera movement gets locked and it won't let you move any further in the same direction. But overall, very nice spooky feeling you've created!
Thank you for playing! The holes will have a spooky sound effect. The camera movement bug is already known. I wrote it in the description but your wording is much better. So I'll replace it with yours.
