Really fun game! I really like that the character looks at the direction you want to go. Gameplay is fun and the ticking sound with the timer fits well. The game is a bit short, but we had limited time. All in all, I think it's a fun little game and you did good.

You should make a level preview or something so that we can plan ahead instead of aimlessly wandering around the level. I really like the idea and the spooky vibe of your game. Awesome work!

The idea is very clever and a very good interpretation of the theme.

Really fun and short play! Took me a bit to figure out how to play (actually reading the game page), but once I did it was just fine. My only real complaint would be, a lot of the jumps felt blind in the sense that I could not see where I was landing (possibly jumping into enemies). But other then that, good job on the game and really impressive for the fact it's in Java.

Thanks :) And ye, I'm trying to figure out how to make the camera feel better, and don't make the jumps blind :)

normal gameplay, art is simple and I'm impressed that you made it in 72 hours using JavaScript  so good job

Developer

Great game, the music and sounds gave a unique atmosphere and although short, the levels were well thought out and worked well with the mechanics of the game!

Developer

Thank you!

Very fun game, I love the ambience that it creates, with the dark calm music in background, it combines perfect with the colors of the game, also the gameplay was fun :)) great job!!

Nice Game!

This is good, the music fits the deary aesthetic the ticking is a good rhythm the sprite work is simple but good, but I do wish there was some way to see if there was a monster off screen as alot of deaths were the cause of having a monster off screen kill me without anyway of me knowing where they were, this mostly happened on stage 3. Good concept could have been helped a little if the player could control the camera

I really appreciate the creativity and the implementation of the theme on this one! I wish I could see the whole area so I could observe the ghosts' movement and the exit so I could plan my moves better. I couldn't finish your game yet so now I'm getting back at it! Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Interesting, like the creativity and challenge. Maybe one improve could be changing the enemies eyes to the direction they are going to go too. Good job!

Developer

Thanks :) Great idea!

It has a rather scary theme which I think is why you cannot see enemies easily but all in all, Well Done!

Developer

Thanks :)

I love the idea and the eerie music fit really well! Sometimes I didn't understand completely why I died, and maybe adding a little more information to the player would be nice - zooming out the camera a bit or showing the path of the enemies. Though this didn't stop the game from being awesome!

Developer

thank you so much!!
