i liked the atmosphere alot but couldn't get in the game fully. i keep constantly being teleported somewhere i dont know and i have no idea what even happened the music is pretty good and again wish it was a slower pace and grounded well regarding the telporting thing i keep getting teleported to a scene with my camera stuck and i cant move? overall pretty cool idea.
Wow I loved the pacing of this! I liked how collecting the different items made me stronger (more able to avoid the ghosts), but also changed the way I avoided them. The movement was very fun, I thought it was a nice touch to make the player move faster when youre walking in the direction of the light beam - it was very spooky to try and outrun the ghosts.
Honestly such a great jam game!
Really loved the vibe of the game! it really felt mysterious with the sound effects and bgm. Good job!
loved the atmosphere (well, I didn't love it because I was scared - but that means it worked!) made through the limited lighting, sounds and story behind the game!
Really nice game, I loved the musical atmosphere ! And the gameplay and power ups were unexpected, congratulations !
Thank you very much! Yes, Limain did excellent music
I really liked the ideas put into the game, with the revolver mechanic, ghosts and the power-ups! Also some more feedback when killing enemies/getting damage would be cool :) Sound-design was there but I think the art needs some polish. Overall a solid game for this jam!
Thank you for the feedback, and I'm glad you liked the game! Yeah, feedback/other polish and art would be at the top of my list if I were to keep working on this one.
Yeah! I really dug the atmosphere of this game! I made a game about hunting invisible ghosts with a revolver (here) a while ago, so I guess that's what I like!
The gameplay was good, maybe a bit difficult for a jam game. If you like the atmosphere, like I did, you'll stick to the end though.
Now the powerups. I thought most pf the devs will try to do "they affect the gameplay in a strange way", but hell, floating spoons that point to invisible enemies are just so good :D
One thing that needs polish is the presentation. Some more attention to graphics would go a long way here.
Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks! I'm relieved to hear that one or two of the powerups were strange enough.
I see revolvers are kind of a theme for you! Can't blame ya lol. Thanks again for the comment.
