The movement was fluid and I had a little bit of fun trying to figure out the pattern, there's nothing much to do with the jam theme however
I was a little confused by the use of buttons (instead of panels) for help text, but I eventually determined that it was a keyboard game.
I then did not realize until after I reached the end that you could use the mouse to rotate the camera. That probably would’ve helped.
I liked the sound effects and music and lighting (though it would’ve been nice if the song didn’t restart when the level did; one way to get around that is to have an autoload singleton scene that controls the music), though I don’t know that I would’ve known what to do had I not seen the TV show.
Was a very simple experience and it was a very abrupt ending where nothing happens when you reach the end. The movement was a struggle for me, but it could be just the short level that really doesn't do it justice.
Overall it had a good horror atmosphere, but just needed some more gameplay to make it worth it.
this was certainly interesting. i was a bit worried about downloading a .exe of a random game themed around horror, but i thank you very much for not including a jump scare or virus-i-fying my computer.
Pros:
I also saw that episode of popular Korean television and it was fun to experience something from it in a way that did not end up in death, or permanent trauma
The movement was fun and fluid, if only there was more to the environment to enjoy it in
the cute little bean man at the end. I feel bad for knocking him over. but that is how things go in the world of "Horror Stepping Stones"
Cons:
I don't see this connecting to the theme of the jam in anyway, though i did feel a source of evil energy wash over me when i knocked over the bean man
there were not many steps to get through, and they appeared to be the same every time. perhaps in an update you can have each row spawn as a node of two platforms side by side, and randomly assign one platform of each row to be solid.
the game stole my mouse focus and despite it not being full screen i had to open up task manager to close it.
is not playable in browser.
Overall:
the most unexpected thing I've played so far for this game jam.
definitely fun for a minute, and I have had many much less fun minutes in my life!
