Overall, I enjoyed this entry. It is a fun entry that's a love letter to the horror movies of the 80s and 90s.
Thank you so much KV_Kingdom!
I definitely agree with the size of the maps being too large (specially considering this is a jam game) and the game doesn't feel rewarding in terms of gameplay, since it's all about rng and no skill is really involved (maybe deciding what items to preserve, although since some of the might fail, I guess sometimes it's not possible to do that).
Regarding the elevator, there was a message saying "Defeat Mason", but I reckon that's still a bit too vague and there should have been an additional indicator that you must deplete Mason's life.
This is honestly a really well done and funny romp into the slasher trope. I like how, even though you can't necessarily fight in the slasher, you can distract him as a means of escape and keeping your characters alive. The graphics and audio remind me a lot of the old NES game Sweet Home, and I greatly appreciate that.
The parody story is written very well, however there are some lines of repeated dialogue that pop up in conversation that it genuinely becomes hard to tell what was an intentional funny choice, and what was an accident that then becomes a distracting non sequitur. An example that comes to mind is one character going on about a recent family tragedy that pops up mid-chase. I know they're supposed to be flanderizations of their respective archetypes, but that repeated dialogue creates a bit of tonal whiplash for the scenes that are meant to be more intense. However, it doesn't take away from the full story all that much, and even when it broke the immersion, it was still very easy to dive back into it.
Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers I see a lot of versions of them. Funny thing I never notice Where all the copy child play games. Chucky needs a spotlight! And no Jeepers creepers Either? I see no copy versions of them.
Nice RPG Jason though. And it's kind of fun that you can name your own characters. Craziest thing I can think of is changing their personalities to what the player wants Through the gameplay.
hmmmmmmm, that's an interesting idea, I haven't seen that done before.
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! Allowing players to name their characters is always fun, and changing their personalities would be even better, although that would definitely require a lot of time and a lot of outcomes. I don't think I've seen that implemented in a game either (being able to change their personalities)
la verdad fue una experiencia aterradora, pero no por el juego en sí, me pareció novedoso y a la vez excelente, pero el don mason, papaaaaa, ademas tenia que andar ahi renegando y encima el loco hawk medio como que se hacia el lodobu viste, pero bueno, juegazo, ahora me cagué hasta las patas. Un saludo a todos los que me conocen y no coman picantes, bueno chau
