Simple yet captivating gameplay!

The walls' movement and simple blue design reminded me of something from a nightmare; they were both eerie and thought-provoking, in my opinion. If there are further setting modifications and creature designs, I would definitely be interested in checking it out. Well done! Would you be intrested in rating or playing my game? It would really help me out, but dont worry if you dont want to, its completely up to you :)

Developer

Thanks, I have been thinking about expanding the game in the future. The feel of it being from a nightmare was intentional and I'm glad it worked. I will definitely check out your game soon

Well done, it scared me, which means it achieved its goal. :) great game! If you have time, take a look at mine. It's not a horror, but maybe you like it. :)

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad the game is scaring people and I will be sure to check out your game soon

I’ve never been so happy to find a white square. I like the choice of going with blue and yellow, they’re not colors you’d normally use in a horror game and they did add a kind of weird eerie vibe. I wasn’t insanely creeped out by the monster until he actually caught me, that animation was creepy as hell and I was thoroughly motivated to avoid seeing it again. I also like the way he enemy was tilted to a weird angle as he approached you. There was one corner I ran into that I got chased down and I felt like it was just impossible to get out of, which I felt was a little unfair, but I only ran into that once.

All in all a simple solid horror game, thanks for sharing. My game is linked below if you want to check it out.

The monster being tilted was a bug. I didn't know why it was doing it and I couldn't fix it. I didn't think some people would actually like it. Also I thought the monster being kind of and orange like yellow was not really that good of a colour choice. Thanks for playing I will be sure to try ur game soon

Simple, compelling gameplay!

I found the movement and minimalist blue design of the walls like something out of a nightmare, lol -- both creepy and cerebral. I hope there are more variations of the setting and perhaps additional monster designs -- if so, I'd be super into checking it out! Great job!

P.S. I'd like to invite you to check out and rate my team's horror adventure game -- I think you would appreciate it!

thanks, it being nightmare like was the main idea. I was thinking to expand the game and add more stuff. I will probably do that soon. I will be sure to check out ur game soon.

Developer

It would be more fun if there was music for the game .But the maze idea looks good.

Developer

thanks
