You know what, This is amazing. Music and graphics really set the tone. Very wholesome yet dark. It’s the perfect combo. IThe lightwork and scream really gives me anxiety. Perfect. Just perfect. Love the art style, and the movement surprisingly feels fair. I loved everything about it. Nice job! xD

That's great! I really liked the graphics, sounds, music. Great job!

Very nicely done! Loved the 1-bit graphics and sweet movement animation. Funny dialogue, too.

Love the lighting !

Great Game Loved It!!

The game is great

But animations is pretty good

Game art are great

and sound effects are perfect

GO ON BRO!

INCREDIBLE. Probably this is one of the best submissions I played so far. Only one small problem: the monster it's too hard to avoid and the mechanic of the light is interesting but a bit frustrating. Perhaps it would be better to have another kind of feedback when the monster is near you. But it's just a small point in a game that it's brilliant, especially for the quality of that audio and the atmospheres. GREAT JOB!

Really high quality entry, the art and audio are very well done. Nice work!

The graphics are really really good, i also like the idea of the camera. Making a top-down horror game is really impressive, good job !

Really clever little game. Super cool and cohesive graphics and atmosphere. The characters and dialog are really charming.

Your game looks so awesome! I really like the atmosphere and gameplay. Also the sound design was cool. However this is a good game but in the future for more projects or jams I think you should improve the players fun by making it a bit less hard as the monster thingy  can be hard to spot. Don't get me wrong this is a great game and a super cool submission. If you feel like helping out you could play my game or view other submissions from the low rating category. Its totally up to you and keep up the excellent game development.

Cool game, I like the sound design and the fact that you can't see the monster. The skill curve is a bit steep in my opinion, since it is hard to pinpoint the monsters location and before you know it you are stuck in water. Overall a great game in many aspects.

Don't forget to check out our game.

This game gave me chills. I am shivering 0~0. I love the atmosphere so much. It's like so spooky and monotonous. That is until you get obliterated by the monster thing. And then it's even more spooky (the monster sound aklsjfhlkajhf) and bloody xD. 

The music emphasizes the atmosphere a lot. Keep it up!!

I liked the ambiance of your game! The music is simple and subtle but it's very fitting.

As others stated, the detection for the interactable is a bit finnicky and even when the arrow appears I could not always interact with it.

But overall your game is quite unique! GG!

The retro art style combined with the audio is terrifying. The sound effects make it incredibly atmospheric. I think the AI was kind of annoying but it was a really intriguing idea. Good Work!

Don't even remember when I was so close to giving up in a jam game. And it wasn't really even difficult. I don't mean it in an overly bad way but it was very unfun. Like half of the time I was "playing", it was just me looking at 99% black screen waiting for the sounds to tone down. Not what I'd call intriguing gameplay. Just making the player wait is never really a good choice.

But finally did it after all...

So by the first level with two keys, I was already hoping it was near the end. Obviously it wasn't. But I think that was the level I struggled with the most. It just felt like Stan was camping the left side of the level completely blocking me from it. But yeah, I did beat it and the rest were not that more "difficult" (ie. annoying), beatable on a handful if not two tries. They didn't really introduce anything new either, just more of the same. Sure, the mushroom thing but that offered like zero additional information to me at least. Just felt like Stan was everywhere at all times anyway. He either cheats or there is multiple of him. 🤔

The visuals were pretty nice. The animation was a bit lackluster and there was some z-fighting but overall the pixel art was cool. The lack of feedback on clickables (and at all the need for mouse activated things on 100% keyboard controllable game) was disappointing.

The door/chest/speak detection was janky. The arrow was very finicky on appearing and even sometimes it did appear yet the spacebar did not do anything. Totally not fun in a scenario where you're being chased and just about to enter a chest yet it refuses to work meaning you have to stare at the black screen doing sweet FA listening to splish splash footsteps for a good few minutes.

Was the art inspired by Cult of the Lamb maybe? Really getting the same vibe from the cutesy occult animals...

But yeah, good job! 👍

I gotta say the game was actually good. graphics are great i absolutely love the retro theme, the monsters AI was a bit annoying since my guy camped at where i needed to go BUT the idea itself was amazing loved the fact that you can hear him but cant see him. all and all great game has some bugs but that doesnt stop it from being great.

Stan killed me... The art was the peak in this game. 

I would comapre Stan with curry bear. Pls play our game
