This was really fun! I like how the level doesn't fully reset when you lose. The art and music were great and really fit the theme of the game!

impressive that you made this in 2 weeks! good job!

Glad to see some of your art back in this competition, looks really great. Hitboxes are a bit tight for my taste. Love the setup and curious to see more of this !

Solid game! It's hard to time your repelling blast when they beeline towards you, due to the delay, because sometimes I blast the moment one starts its attack but I'm still too slow. But I'm happy that the progress through a level doesn't reset after a death :D it does remove some of the fear of dying, but otherwise I don't think I would've finished the game.

Other than that, I enjoyed it very much, excellent stuff!

you scared me haha.
My only complaint is that it is a bit hard to hit the stuff even if you think you are close

man the art is amazing! I love how the ghost sprites fade in and out, move through walls and are sort of visible. The SFX, the jump scares! THE COZY ROOMS I MEAN WOW! I want to live there if it wasn't for the ghosts (great design on their faces as well!)

Love the colours on the sprites the blue and brown blend beautifully! And ofcourse the story, so cool to see you branch to a new franchise this GDKO! And use colour! 

Constantly adding new ways to use your power as the story progresses was great to see. 

Unfortunately the game crashed for me many times so I wasn't able to reach to the end. Some things if you want to consider: perhaps increasing the radius of your psychic power to catch objects a bit further (I was spamming untop of the book the pshyc button but nothing, had to move around and around and try, and that meant the ghost would get me). Same with finding the hidden objects or worse, repelling the ghost :D

the art is really good
and i also liked repelling the ghost as it screams

Very cool game concept, I like the mechanics you have in place a lot! My only issue would be that the timing of using your psychic power to repel gheists getting close to you felt very finnicky, I had multiple times where I was using it as they were next to me and they seemed to ignore it and still get me. With that fixed though (or maybe explained more, I could have been missing something) then I could see this being fantastic overall!

With 55 deaths I guess I've put some effort. Good amount of polish and captivating atmosphere. The spirit's reactions to player made it really creepy, you can just feel its rage. I was quite annoyed in 2nd level until catching the ropes, most of my deaths happened there I think. It sure was clever decision to not reset level on death.

As always, your art looks great. I might have to get my daughter to play this one and see if we can get some jump scares out of her. Fantastic job!

interesting game! I already liked your games from last year, and this one catches that same vibe. I really ejoyed the experience. 

cool game , a little hard at first , (i wasn't expecting the geist to no clip through the walls to get me  in the 2nd level)  

i liked everything except the invisible levers , i find them difficult to activate .

Very fun game like always, challenging as the spirits always  got me and won't say my death count... haha.

I'm so glad that you didn't have to restart the level every time you died, pretty sure I would've given up then. But I made it til the end with 19 deaths. Had to learn the timing to be able to defend myself, but then it was quite rewarding. I really like the visual and audio design, even if I got annoyed by the death sound since I died so much. Other than that, great entry! We totally have the same way of making games when it comes to trying to polish things from the get-go. :D

Mommy I'm scared

i accidentally press w and ctrl and it closes the tab and i gotta start over 😭
i really love the idea, the combination really fits well for the core and secondary mechanic really fits the theme you're going pretty well
i liked it alot nice work man!

nice game

I know this is a mechanics round, but I just wanted to comment on the art and atmosphere because it is really really well done. The cutscenes were sick!

The mechanics were well implemented I think, the juice when using the psych power was helpful and the process of tracking down the links and progressing towards the grimoire provided a really solid progression.

Awesome job!

Pretty great game! And the atmosphere was very creepy, I jumped a few times.

This game has a great base (interesting story and puzzle mechanics). I think the keyboard controls could use some work, but no issues if I had a NES controller!
