The wall is an olympic champion, i retried several times to win the run !
Very great ambiance, the art style, the global mood, the music, the dialog, all feat very well in a good gaming moment !
Thank you for sharing this freaky thing.
The graphics are tender and terrifying, and the sound effects fit really well while still feeling retro.
I wanted to keep going into the castle, I might be a frog now, I'm not sure. ^^
Definitely scary. But I have to say, having to keep pressing the button to walk all the time made my tendinitis flare up. The creepy mood of the game is definitely very well defined. Congratulations.
Wow, this game oozes style and atmosphere like crazy, I love it! Way to go with the spooky theme! I just wish I could skip the cut scenes after the first time to get right back into the game. Well done!
Thank you so much, happy you liked it! Definitely see your point, we probably would have made them skippable if we would have had the time and done some more playtests. But alas, the time was nigh for submission🐸
What a charming and very enticing game. I particularly liked pushing the meaty block with his kicking feet - YEAH YEAH yeah YEAH! The frog was a nice touch too. I really enjoyed seeing him.
There were some real moments of panic. The shaking moon, the chasing block. I thought you managed to reuse the movement mechanics quite well to make some solid gameplay.
If there's anything missing it might be a game over screen for being caught by the moon. I died just as I was going into the tower and it sent me back to the title screen, and I thought that was the game. Luckily I tried it again and found the rest of the gameplay.
What was the importance of the choices at the start?
Thanks for this delightful gem. I hope you come back to it.
Thank you! I'm happy you liked it. We had to cut ALOT of what we originally planned because of time constraints. But in the end we somehow managed. I agree that he unskippable cutscene in the first level can get repetitive but I'm glad you played again!
Hargh harhar gargh har gargh har hargh!
I love your surreal game. It looks great ! Also, I like the visual part of the game.
From one 'Tower' game dev to another, Thank you!
Panic inducing with lovely surreal/absurdist atmosphere. Absolute cinema. 🐺👍
*bows in appreciation*
Unsettling in all the right ways.
I love the art direction of this game, it fits the secondary theme perfectly, the controls made sense, and I went to show my friends this game just from the wow factor of it all. The moon has to be my favorite part
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Happy that you liked it!
very earie, game looks great... text speed could be faster or skippable, but thats just me nitpicking. fantastic gamme overall ≽^•⩊•^≼
Submitted: Frankenstein Reborn
We appreciate the nitpicks and feedback^^ Happy that you liked it, thank you!
Very spooky. Visuals were gorgeous. I have no idea what's happening, but I played again for the vibes.
Thank you, that means a lot! Also checked out your game and I find it absolutely hilarious, great entry!
Visually impressive, I loved the dungeon crawl feel it has and how smooth the controls are.
Stunning visuals, great concept and horror-feeling. Love the dark atmosphere there. Great!
I THANK THEE
Wow, the dithering certainly contributes with the tense atmosphere. Awesome entry!
I APPRECIATE IT! 💚❤️
Very spooky atmosphere!
My main piece of feedback is that I wish there some tweaks to the check pointing system so I could avoid rewatching cutscenes after getting one-shotted.
Thanks!
Understandable, I'd hate that as well. Will fix
I agree with the comment by Nikoichu THE FILTERING IS JUST *chefs kiss* . also creepy moon.
The looming moon demands...
Thank you!
An experience wow
Much Appreciated! 🐸❤️💚
That postprocessing filter looks really amazing! The visuals as a whole are superb. And the game is really creepy with references to old games, which is a nice touch. Great entry!
Thank you so much!
Nefarious Ass Game. The Looming Moon Demands...
Thanks mate! 🐸
Stunning visuals!!! However it's not very clear of what you should do or where you should go.
We've play tested the game more after the jam. I understand what you mean. Thank you 🐸
