Freaky experience running from the hunter! Title screen and game over screen have amazing animation. fun :)

Very fun! Sometimes the audio would continue after you re-spawned which I imagine is not intentional. Lovely visuals,  sound and gameplay though.

Thank you so much, it was a lot of fun to make. It has been a very fun jam, and it was my first one too, so thank you for hosting :)

We plan to fix the audio and adjust the Hunter to make the game feel a little bit more fair. Thanks for playing our game!

Fun concept and well designed. I teleported into another level for a little bit one time when leaving a puddle. Pretty challenging to survive whenever the monsters got you in their sights, but I appreciated the frequent checkpoints too. Good work.

Developer

Thank you, it was a lot of fun to make and we plan to make some adjustments to make it more fair and squash a could bugs. I appreciate the feedback and the strange teleport is deliberate lol

I love it, the animations really took it to the next level! Music also helped a lot generating tension when chased by monsters.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, yeah Portland cooked with the audio. Had me panicking too lol, the creatures animations are not fully implemented yet and currently I do plan to go back and refine those a bit to make it more consistent with where the creature is looking. But yeah, thank you!

This game is really really fun and I feel like does a really really good job of making me terrified whenever those violin screeches come in! The only issue I had was sometimes when I die the music will continue to play after I died already and into the next attempt, but that was easily fixed by refreshing the page! I also really like that you have checkpoints which made the game feel a lot more fair and less upsetting whenever I died!

The art, mechanics and music were all spot on and made the game feel really awesome and tense!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm super glad you had a fun time, and we certainly plan to fix the music thing. Thanks for playing our game :)

Can I ask if you plan to do more with the project? It would be really cool to see you use this in part of an rpg!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Ah, there is a version of the future which we do. But I am not really too sure. It would be cool to make something further, but well see where it goes. For me I want to do more game jams before jumping into a large project, I appreciate it a lot 😊

Developer(+4)

We did it! Woo, good stuff team. Could not have pulled this all together without you both!
