Thank you all for trying it out!

Hi! I just played your game "Secrets of the Forest" and I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the graphics and atmosphere (and also the difficulty). Great job! 

I even made a video about my experience (I speak Spanish, but I've added subtitles) with the game and I'd love for you to check it out. Thanks!

The game has a nice spooky atmosphere between the music and darkness with the light around your player and the barely noticeable red eyes. And the pixel art looks quite nice (one note: I believe the player & grass had different resolutions from the items, which can be a bit jarring especially w/ pixel art).

Great start!

Thanks for pointing that out! I don't have a good eye for pixel art (yet) so will look into this.

Congrats on completing your game jam!  It's an interesting concept and the animation and control is very well done, I'm sure if you had more time you would redo the UI elements and maybe added more levels etc, but its a great foundation to build something more ontop of!
