Nice idea with getting crazy and losing control of what you're doing (without losing any game control for a change !).
Not what you are supposed to do, but sure you do you
Love the effect you did for when you kill people. I enjoy how you connected the theme to mental health. Great work!
Thanks, we wanted to be unique when we came up with the mental health idea
Very deep game - once the alerts dissapear you really feel yourself slipping away.
The idea that you're just slowly going insane is pretty cool. I like how after you kill a certain number of people, the alerts disappear and you can no longer tell the difference between between a target and an innocent, really contributes to the insanity theme.
No real people were harmed while playing this game.
The post-processing effect looks nice and makes it interesting to see what happens if you keep playing the game. And it's kinda interesting that marks get harder to notice with time.
There were a couple of issues like people despawning while I was trying to catch them, and the soundtrack gets repetitive, a longer loop would be better perhaps. Nonetheless, good job!
Thanks for the feedback! The reason the people disappear is because i used an object pool. I realised that wasn't going to work very well after it was too late
Nice game, I love the distorsion effect :)
Thanks! (Used post-processing)
Its really one of a kind. I have played it ore than five times, and will play once more. I'm in love with the music and the distorted visuals. Great job, keep it up.
Thanks very much
Maybe I'm just a psychopath, but it was becoming so much funnier with each new killing XD
I mean, you expect something to happen, but you just kill and kill more and more people while listening for a calm and relaxing music, ahahah. Nice visual and music, though, they fit the game perfectly. Liked the game!
I see the game had the opposite effect on you. We have a special one...
It seems that you made a game that discovers your inner maniac ahahah. But without jokes, good game with interesting idea, keep up with it!
Thanks
Very good concept, but the grain/jitter post process affect was a bit too much for me
The concept is nice, visual presentation also really well done. I did miss some kind of direction / drive to keep me playing.
Thanks! I really should have made the game end quicker, so the player doesn't think it goes on infinitly
Great job! The concept has been taken perfectly and I like the dark aspect in the game. Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks!
A great concept and a decent game, needs some indicator to make the game more clear but otherwise pretty fun!
Yep i agree, i should have made it more clear
Strange game, with a pretty strong mood. The killing animation feels eerie, and watching the victims bleed out kind of makes me feel bad about it. I think the game has a lot of potential on the emotional side. Nice music too. Good job!
Haha you triggered my trap card. Killing the people make you fell bad! Haha i am emotionally manipulating you!!!!
i love the the game style and the audio. the i felt the creepy feeling as the game progresses, good game
Thanks! All of the art and music was made by my friend. I wouldn't have been able to do this jam without him!
I think it's a good concept. Only problem is that it gets a bit repetitive after a while, but other than that, good job!
Yeah i realised it gets a bit repetitive after a while, i should have made the game go a bit quicker until it gets to game ove
It's good fun but is a little repetitive after a while. However, it's a cool concept and I think the shader gives it a more 'creepy' feel as the game progresses - good job!
Thanks for the feedback
Really cool concept!
Thanks!
Nice little experience. Not too much going on gameplay wise, but the suspense of whats going to happen keeps you going. I like that it gets harder to see who is a target and who isn't over time, until it gets impossible.
The shader is a bit hard on the eyes, if I'm being honest. Nothing that can't be handled, though.
Thanks for the feedback!
