Really amazing art! Shame about the bugs, but with a little polishing, this could definitely be great!
I keep falling through the ground :(
(fixed version)
pretty good entry, one of the platforms does bury you, which i assumed wasn't intentional, but the graphics, the music, and of course the exorcise minigames hold up pretty well. good entry!
The art is superb, full of life and charm! I like the soundtrack, even if it's a little quiet at times. That's a great GBJAM 12 splash screen!
As an unfinished prototype, it's quite interesting! There was a lot of care and thought put into making a game conducive to great artwork: the cutscenes, the facial animations, unique walk and attack animations, the slate of awesome splash animations for the exorcisms, et cetera. Conceptually, it's a strong foundation!
It goes without saying that the mechanics, in their current state, are quite fragile. I was able to reactivate the exorcism screen while I was still performing an exorcism. Some sort of level restart would be nice to prevent the softlocks that can occur from falling into inescapable pits. The floating ghost exorcism doesn't seem to change the character. It's a bit difficult to anticipate obstacles with the current camera and level setup. Just a lot of little details that can be worked out over time.
However, I managed to get to the end!
All-in-all, good work! Congratulations on the submission!
I'd like to play it and rate it fairly, but I can only seem to find the "fixed" version which was uploaded after the jam ended. Where can I find the original submission?
This is probably one of my favourite games at the moment. Unfortunately, I got stuck in a hole without being able to proceed. The music seems a bit low on volume anyway.
10/10 for the art and the concept. I liked how the girl was possessed after exorcising the demons. The screen flashing at the end of the battle hurt my brain a bit. Really liked the feel of the jumps. I was unable to use the checkpoints except for once when the platform pushed me below the ground. I also couldn't pick up the object to the left of the first checkpoint, after you jumped and the platforms. Even with the bugs, it's still cool. Nice job!
Excellent presentation, the cutscenes exorcise minigame look great. Nice music too.
Solid entry, congrats!
Thank you for playing!
Got a bit further in a run, but still got stuck in a pit and couldn't jump high enough to get out. Then I got through to the end. Good start here with an awesome QTE minigame for the possessions. The art direction is excellent as well.
Thank you for playing! Yea, both our artists did an outstanding job!
Ok let's say it, the art is really well made no big surprise there, the audio is nice. I think the spooky them was done well, it's just the gameplay not working very well but I know it due to something with the web build. Overall though it's not a bad entry even if it's broken and definitely has a strong running in the art category.
Much appreciated! The fixed version is available in the link in the description.
I really love the art and subject matter! A shame the main feature doesn't work on a web build. Still a great game! Nice work!
Much appreciated! The fixed version is available in the link in the description.
This game looks interesting and i like graphic of this game.
P.S. I fell into the Backrooms (:
Much appreciated! The fixed version is available in the link in the description.
I really love the art and music in this game, but I encountered some game-breaking builds in the web version unfortunately. I look forward to trying the Windows build soon!
Much appreciated! The fixed version is available in the link in the description.
I cannot play the game, it crashes at the end of the intro
The fixed version is available in the link in the description.
It looks like your game is password protected, just a heads up.
Apologies Hegerworks - this is fixed now.
We’ve run into a game-breaking bug though. Godotgif has let me down and it may corrupt the game.
