I really like the art style and soundtrack of this game. The enemies look fantastic! 

The only issue I had was with the shotgun. The fire rate was a bit too slow for me and after manual reloading, I could not shoot for several seconds even though the UI showed that the shotgun was full.... I did not have that problem at all with the AK. 

Other than that really well-made game! Great job :D

hey thanks! I've worked on the sprites of the enemies and the player and I really had fun doing them, very glad you like our game! ^^

Gorgeous visuals. Would have been nice to have some feedback on how long reloading takes as I found I was clicking frantically at the ghosts until it shot again.

Nice visuals and music! the game looks good but the enemies are kinda the same all the time. I liked the goofy characters and dialogues :)

Visuals and music were really cool and the game wasn't difficult because of the simple patterns and a lot of heart drops. Only the dialogue UI was lacking.
The shotgun didn't work properly, shooting and reloading delay was way too long. The books scattered around were annoying because they had collisions instead of being just decorations.
And there was no end to this game; I went from 1/2 to 2/2 to 2/2 to 2/2. And it was hard to navigate because all rooms looked the same and there was no map or indicator where to go. But other than that it was pretty good.

I liked the overall setting and the graphics, well done! Don't mind it being more on the easy side at all. Cute ghosts don't have to be menacing ;)
More indications and more feedback would be a good next step, I think.
Rock on and stay funky,
Dez

aww thanks for enjoying our game! I'm the one who made most of the art and this was my first time working on a project like this ^^"

Submitted(+1)

Nicely done! :)

Submitted(+1)

fun game, only problems I had is that I didn't see an indication of when I could shoot again and how much time I can shoot again (At least, my gun disappeared at one point, which I assume was meant to mean that I ran out of bullets for that level?)

Submitted(+3)

Great visuals and audio but kind of simple mechanically. The way AI works alongside the exploration structure makes every encounter seem trivial, just shooting from the doorway at whichever threat is closest. Maybe with the use of ghosts you could have ghosts "trigger" and appear when a player gets far enough into a room so that the player is surrounded by ghosts instead of always having enemies in a fixed direction.

Loved the Visuals of projectiles and the Ghosts. Shooting the Gun felt punchy and nice. Moving Controlls were smooth. Second Level felt a bit repetetive with the long hallways. Smallest nitpick: Text scrolls to slow. But that Bitspeech gives it a nice touch and feel.

Very good game. I had a great time playing it and would like to congratulate the composer and sound designer. Very good audio.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!! Glad that you like the music and sound

I had a lot of fun playing this game, the music, art style, sound effects all of them are good and blend very nicely together, but i dah a hard time to understand when  could shoot again, maybe a visual feedback when the shotgun is loaded again would be nice.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!! We are still working on the game to make it better

Submitted(+1)

Fun gameplay, music, and artwork were really fitting. I personally would've liked a faster character, but I still had fun playing. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!!

The art and music is awesome. Sometimes the shotgun refused to shoot for a couple of seconds, even after a reload. Otherwise a good entry. Nice job!

the game is fun but its too easy u could 1 shot enemies and  is there the 10 second theme cuz i seem to dont find it and make the reload right click instead of R because is a lot easier and dont interupt ur movement,  overall i love the music it really match with the haunted mansion and intense dodging and firing. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing our game and for your feedback!

There is this thing we still getting that sweet spot with the bullet noise so it isn’t that easy to hit enemies the amount of enemy spawning. It’s being very hard because if you move that jus a little it gives just very varied results 😭.

Submitted

well i hope u will do much better in the next jam wish u luck :D

Great audio/visual presentation. At times I felt like the player couldn’t shoot even after reloading, seemingly at random.

Developer

Thanks!! The reloading still needs some more tweaking lol

Nice art and music, the aiming felt a little off though, like the bullets weren't going towards my cursor. Otherwise pretty fun

Developer(+1)

Thanks! glad that you liked my music

Effects look really nice and the setting is great! I had some issues with my bullets going off from where I'm aiming. I like the spritework.

Overall good game!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback :D! It means a lot you played our game :3

A lot of people has told us about the aiming. We went for a bit of noise so it would be hard to fire at a certain distance so you are encourage to get up close to the ghost but, maybe would be better to tone down that at least a bit.

I really like the visual style, the glow of the ghosts and eeriness of the mansion is great. 

I got lost a lot trying to find all of the 'keys' for the next floor lol
