How does you game fit the theme?
There are real enemies and fake enemies, you blink and you find the truth... Some of the terrain and weapons are also fake, so blink at your own risk.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

Great looking game! rated!
Thanks!
This game has some amazing graphics, I like the rain sound and the game mechanics are cool. I really like the animation when you blink I think its really creative. The only thing I would suggest is adding checkpoints since you restart from the beginning when you die and it is quite difficult to kill all the monsters even with the blinking mechanic.
Thanks! And actually there already is a checkpoint system, you can access it from the candle in the middle of the cabin
Nice, I didn't notice that
love your game! especially the effects that you've made. did you use Unity? cuz i can see you're so good at applying them. the lightning fx is epic! not to mention the blind fx!
Thank you! I'm glad someone noticed the lightnings :D And for the game engine, I actually use godot, it's very good and pretty easy to learn.
I love the art. The animation for blinking is nice and clean. While I do enjoy the wide amount of action options (you even put in a crouch jump!), it's easy to have wires get crossed when playing with the keyboard. Personally I'm just not great with the keyboard though, so take that as you will.
I dig the way you can fight everything but you don't necessarily have to with blinking. That's a neat idea for sure. This game is HARD, those hordes do not stop. I'm gonna keep trying until I can at least get to the boss. Cool idea and well executed.
Thanks for the honest review!
Hey, ice game! Neat idea and the art looks great!
Thanks! :D
Really neat idea, didn't quite understand how to work it but thats alright, good job anyways
Thanks!
this game is hard lol took me a while to realize that you can double the weapons and that's how you get through lol. the monsters spawn so much when you step back, it's hard to survive the waves, i couldn't kill the boss in the end but all up i loved the aesthetic and the difficulty is surprisingly still a fun time. the 3rd checkpoint spawns you stuck in the platform though.
Thanks for your words! :D Yeah, the 3rd checkpoint spawning you stuck was accidental, but you can crouch to get out of it!
(Q-Q) Mama mia
(^-^)
Nice game, I like the graphics and the raining sounds very nice. Seems very polished and nice. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :)
Thank you!
Rated!, really action packed, not quite my strong suite, but I still appreciate the great effort you put to this one, good job!
also, will you help rate mine too?, I really appreciate every single one! Thanks! XD

Thanks!
Very cool art style! I liked the game's spooky vibes! I also really enjoyed how you added all of the different equipment with unique attacks! Other comments have mentioned the difficulty before, so I won't go into that, but I noticed that I couldn't really use the checkpoint system? When I hit resume, I got caught in a kind of death cycle and ended up having to restart! I think it's a really cool game though, and I hope you plan to update the game after the jam!
I'm sorry about that! The resume in the death scene was actually an accident... and the way to access the checkpoint was through the candle in the cabin, where there are 3 items in the middle you can interact with.
Oh I see! That makes sense! I'll definitely have to give it another try!
Cool idea! Unfortunately I kept dying a lot haha, the blinking was tough to use and maybe should allow for a little leeway to use it without the likeliness of dying
Thanks, haha the blink was really just meant to be a leap of faith XD
Beautiful art style, and a interesting game mechanic, though you might die too easily when you use the blink. It was pretty challenging, I couldn't make it past the first boss yet, but I like how there's checkpoint system and different attack styles. Needs some sound effects and maybe music. Overall, good job! :)
Thanks for your input! :D
very cool idea and art, really liked it! good job :)
Thank you :D
Cool art style and atmosphere!
Thanks! :D
The art worked so well for the creepy atmosphere. I love that blinking reveals what's real and not, but I also find it's really hard to stay alive after I blink. But I had a great time trying to figure out what's happening.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my game! :D
Game was a little tough and the enemies take a lot of hits to kill.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind! :D
Cool game, it definitely looked very nice! I would suggest adding a slow time or freeze time while blinking, it is very punishing and with the never-ending enemies, the blink just kills you, which is a bit of a shame. I enjoyed it!
Thanks! :D, though my intention with the blink is for it to be part of the challenge. Glad you liked it tho!
Really fun, loved the visuals. Definitely challenging, felt like we were thrown right into the deep end from the start but still really enjoyable. Would've loved more audio however the audio you included was very effective.
Thanks for the review! Glad you liked it! :D
Very cool concept, I really like the different weapons and the way in which you can replenish health. It is quite a hard game though...
I would suggest to freeze the enemies when you blink, because I got killed often while blinking. (Also sometimes I forgor to blink :] but that's completely on me haha)
Overall a very pleasant experience!
Thank you for the feedback! I will keep your words in mind. :D
