Very scary!! Incredibly spooky! Excellent sound design. I got 4/5 chests.
Aight, u got me scared xD really cool animations and sound, and the concept of the "creature" is clean and scary
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
Thanks you! Will definitely check your game out! Thanks for playing!
Nice scares! I found the monster very effective, but very fair. It made me scramble a bit whenever I saw it, but it never felt like an instant-lose scenario where I couldn't do anything. I also found that it showed up just enough to build tension without becoming silly. Very well executed on the horror front.
One critique I have is that I found that there were maybe one too many chests. At the end I found myself looping around the same spots trying to find the one last chest, and the tension was bordering on becoming annoyance, but I don't think it ever actually reached that point.
I'm gonna echo the comment that said to avoid installers. A game this small doesn't need to create star menu items, desktop shortcuts or a user-space data folder. It's an extra step that may cause less people to play your game than otherwise would.
Great job overall!
Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing!
You really went hard on the horror, with a great jumpscare. I am the last person that will have a problem with that. The whole cave thing builds a great atmosphere. Loved it, well done! Just don't use an installer for your game for the jam, an executable is much preferred to speed things up.
Thank you for the advice! Glad you enjoyed it!!!
That was cool! The art and monster design is charming. I like the concept, but it's a bit difficult to react to the monster appearing.
The sound effects and jumpscares are a smidgen loud. Did you make all of the sound effects? They're quite neat!
All-in-all, good work!
Thank you for the feedback! The sounds are a bit too loud, so I’ll definitely make sure I get that right next time. As for the sounds, some were made in chrome lab. I don’t know much about making sounds so I’ll have to learn that too. Thanks for playing!!!
Nice Game it scared me
