Great visuals and atmosphere. It really nails the feeling of claustrophobia. Nice work.
Nice mechanics to have the flame be your health and your ammo. I didn't really understand why I was shrinking even after picking up more flames from the torches, but great gameplay and atmosphere
Love the atmosphere of this!! It has a lot of replayabilty and it's fun, snappy and quick. The enemies kept giving me little jump scares which added to the experience and I love the shaders/lighting used here.
Cool game, love the atmosphere of it.
Cool game! The style is awesome, I love the low resolution and the retro textures. The mechanics are very cool too! I wish that the hatches were a little easier to see, but other than that I think it was great!
Very nice little retro dungeon crawler shooter mix, but some of the mechanics took me a a bit longer to figure out and I wasn't reallllly sure how to interface with the game at first. I like that - it made me *think* about playing it rather than mindlessly flying through hordes of enemies, and try to figure it out for what *it* is. Great work.
I can't get past the 5th level for the life of me but I really liked the style and the atmosphere! :)
Loved the artstyle, but it was bothering for the game to get harder (the player getting smaller) the less time i had; being punished making coming back harder, making punishing harsher, as a punition snowball effect.
Nice game, didn’t realise I was shrinking until it was way too late!
a fun game, but the fact that you cant regenerate to get tall and fast again gets me down. The visuals are great and the controls feel smooth. A great game with very good sounds as well
I probably should've put something saying you can shoot the torches lol
Artstyle is goat. Looks super cool
love the art
Great and atmospheric entrance!
I loved the retro style. The idea is interseting and the gameplay is fun.
Nice touch on having the camera height get lower as you shrink! I had to replay just to convince myself I wasn't hallucinating that. I found it relatively easy to find the first grate to get to level 2, but was never able to get to any further levels, might be a skill issue for me.
I keep coming back to this one! Its so creative and a lot of fun. I think it's way more fun going in only knowing that you're looking for drains and learning what the countdown does through experience.
I really hope to see this in the top 20!
Spooky & creative, well done !!
Managed to get to the FLOOR 3
The idea is FIRE))) literaly - very clever, but the closer player to lose - the harder to do something with that
Also it's not comfortable to shoot in this game, when you know you literaly spend your life... and shooting drains it so fast it feels unfair
Overall the atmosphere and graphics and sensations brought pleasure and a sense of something new - good job!
Cool horror game
Love the visuals. Everything is fun but it runs a little slow for me :(
