Sound was destroying my experience lol, gameplay was kinda flat, but I can see this concept expanded upon to create a very fun game!

Developer

is it too loud or is the audio giving you the wrong concept that you are meant to be feeling? I was going more towards background screams but I reckon I didn't go quite enough. It is meant to give that "the world is falling apart" sort of experience. Is that what you weren't experiencing? 

Thank you for playing though. Look forward to your answer so I can improve next time.

Loved the sound effects and atmosphere - but juxtaposed with that art gave a very uneasy feeling. I like the mechanic behind the pumpkins but feel that it could have been emphasized a little more. Good job!

Developer

thanks for the comment. Originally the pumpkin was meant to just go onto a "backpack" and always be behind the player. But I then never had the player rotate and found a bug where if the player drops it in a wall it won't be able to be picked up. So I just kinda left it how it was. Which gave the player another puzzle of thinking how there are gonna get it through each door. 

Thanks for your review.

I'm a bit concerned as to where you got that scream sound from but the game was pretty atmospheric considering it was all letters

I'm not good with art but when I made a mock-up of the room with the # sprite I just had to give it a try and it looked good. Wished I had more time to do the play and enemy sprites better but work/sleep got the better part of my weekend. 

Thanks anyways for the review.

It's a good game, the sounds sometimes scares me hahaha. 

Congrats!

thanks mate. Yeah the sound was more meant to be background noise like the screams but it didn't come out like that. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you.
