Was excited to play this from seeing all the progress shots. Was worth the wait. The monsters design is great and the animations slick, only wish that that sleepy ghost would let me out of the locker.

Pumpkin DriveReally nice work. The only bad thing I can say is that maybe the game could be a little more difficult.

Clean & HauntedAstonishing tbh, i was so inspired by seeing this game, i cant wait for next jam to do something better my own

Light the WayWow I really liked that one, unique characters, a nice bouncy animation for walking around, very well done. I loved the music too, this was very well made, and it's interesting how you made use of multiple palettes for great effect. Great job!

Spooky Witch MotherGreat one! It got me wetting my pants, well not literally, but yeah. The agony is there. Almost perfect, but one point in gameplay. Pressing the button too fast made my wrist hurt... Point for extra mappings. WASD and KL. Not that this is my thing, but I strongly believe d-pad on the left, buttons on the rights is part of the gameboy soul as well.

CccandyIf you’re talking about pressing the buttons to open/break things, the action is to hold not mash. I realize this isn’t the clearest thing in the game though (if you skip over the objective screen before the run) so that’s my fault! Absolutely, I added WASD K/L and controller mappings just for that option, I personally use WASD K/L. :)
Wasn't expecting to scream during this jam, but you actually made a game that was legitimately terrifying! Great job.
Personally love hold actions over mash actions (yay accessibility!!) but also didn't realize that was the case at first

The Demonologist's AssistantAwesome game, super complete, it made me feel anxious with the lights going out and having to find more oil, etc, and all the animations are great, the enemies are super scary. Great great work.

Dance Zombie DanceCannot stress enough how much I love the enemy reactions. The way they'll sit there for a second and make you question what's about to happen, followed by that exaggerated stretch of the mouth, it all fit together perfectly. Great job!

Professor LuciferI think you guys did a really good job making this game! I love the art, music, sound effects, though I feel like instead of brightening my lamp I would have liked a dash.
