So cool that you implemented this idea into a retro horror game, presentation was top notch, great work! :)
Thanks so much for playing and your kind words!
"Hmmm... Why is that grinding noise getting louder?"
*looks up*
"oh."
Cool game. Great visual style and atmosphere. And the riddles were fun. I especially liked how the last one was the easiest Lol.
Haha. Thanks so much for the kind comments and taking the time to play my game.
This is creepy (in a good way) and pretty difficult, I already struggled with the second level. The theme is implemented really well!
Thanks so much for playing and your kind words. Much appreciated!
Loved the retro horror game style here. Good concept, gets the right amount of stressful for it to be fun, and feels like a complete and polished game. Had a lot of fun playing this one! Excellent work!
Thanks so much for your kind comments and playing my game. Means a lot, cheers!
Cool concept, retro graphics, had fun !
Thanks so much!
Excellent execution! You really set up a vibe! The riddles helped set the tone well also. Great work, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks for your kind words and playing my game. Much appreciated!
Really great atmosphere and execution of the theme. Not much to say other than excellent work!
Thank so much for playing!
Fantastic sense of tension and atmosphere.
Would love to see it expanded further to get more of the narrative.
I am planning on expanding it post jam. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Concept for this game is very good and retro style is also made very well. I personally wouldn't think of making Saw like game for a game jam, but it's genius idea for this theme. I admit I skimmed dialog on first play and got spooked by spikes coming from ceiling. My only remark would be that numbers of weights could be more bold/pronounced, because of resolution it's kinda hard to discern them. Also pause menu would be nice (for writing down weights of specific items), but maybe it would make game too easy so I don't know for sure. Also for some reason when I launched the game, it wasn't in fullscreen (as in there was thin bar on the right that wasn't a game and was just my desktop). Good job.
Thanks for playing my game, you kind comments and feedback. Totally agree with your resolution and the pause menu comments. I just ran out of time. There is a pause menu in the project, just isn't hooked up and will be upping the resolution post jam. Thanks so much, appreciated!
Nice aesthetic and ambiance. The concept is cool and fits the theme nicely. I enjoyed it a lot, congrats!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Much appreciated.
The horror feel is perfect, love the aesthetic. Simple idea, great execution. Excellent work!
Thanks so much for the kind words and playing my game. Much appreciated.
Really polished game. I generally love this kind of horror aesthetic. The twist with the spikes was super scary. Very Well done!
Thanks so much, means a lot!
I really liked the ambiance and aesthetic of the video game; it feels like something retro in 3D, and I experienced a lot of suspense. I also enjoyed the overall idea of the puzzles
Thanks so much!
Cool
