That was awesome!
I really enjoyed the atmosphere with all the lights, but I think the game could benefit from something a bit more energetic. I loved the arcade feel, I think you can expand on that.
keep it up!

Fun eating souls game š»
GAMEPLAY
Fun game concept, though it would have been nice to have a goal or a score showing how many souls youāve devoured or a timer and you have to eat an amount of souls to survive for example or some extra enemies. That would be a fun addition.
VISUALS
The graphical style was okay and coherent. It was a nice detail seeing the happy faces turn sad.
AUDIO
The audio could perhaps be a bit creepier or more up-tempo, but at least there was soundš.
THEME
The theme was incorporated.
All in all, a fun little game. Well done šŖ
I loved the sprite for the main character. IMHO the music is not fitting for the game so much, I'd expect a less calmer music as you devour the souls (of children? did I read that right?). - or a sadder one
I miss a quick restart button at Game over screen, that would have been nice.
I like the general idea and with some high score/leaderboard system this game would rock. I noticed that the sould get sad when you move close to them. I really appreciate all these details and the love you put into it.

Who wants to be a Monster?I player character was really scary , a real monster ! I agree with Florian Castel would have loved more feed back. good job. Please, check out my game too, I would love some feed back and a rating when you get some time.

The HungerNice game! It would be cool if it had a goal or a score system and maybe some more variety in the gameplay but this is still a good start. Keep it up :)

Dark ReachItās really interesting to see that we had similar ideas haha, even though they were applied in different ways
I really liked how we play, your pixel art is truly, truly beautiful. The fact that the souls get sad with our presence was a great touch to bring the game to life, along with the way they turn white as we get closer. I assume thatās meant to evoke fear, right?
Your escape mechanic is also quite interesting, I believe that because there arenāt many elements, the collision issues between objects were significantly reduced. Did you create it so the soul moves in the opposite direction of the player? It was my first time trying that in my game too, and Iād love to hear how other developers think about it.
Nice music and cool sound effects! I saw that you wished you could have polished the game more, itās a shame the time was so short. It would have been interesting to see your ideas in action
Overall, itās a really good game, congratulations on the project! I wish you the best of luck in the jam!

DevourerYes our ideas were pretty similar, i made the ghosts avoid the player which i did in 4 if-then nests like if x position is more and y position is more etc. I consider myself to be good in pixel art although i didn't draw the main character to save time but it is very similar to my art style and thanks for noticing so many small details Wish you best of luck too!
The art and the use of light are cool. I would maybe add some goal to the game (an end level or even a score counter)

vampire's scapeThe art and music are really good! If the ghosts were as detailed as the other sprites, I would have rated the visuals 5/5. Adding more variation in guardians could also make the gameplay more fun. But considering the time frame, itās a solid game.

Inspector - Who killed my chickenThe main character is very beautiful and detailed!
The game is quite easy to learn and interesting. I would add a couple of other characters in there for variety. But given the circumstances the game is cool.
