Loved the art used and I thought the telekinesis was a cool idea for the young lad.
Also YEET
Really neat game and amazing art! maybe give the option to the user to change some keys -- i found the controls a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it it became a lot of fun!
Wow, that was actually quite challenging! You really gotta manage those pieces against your foes before you break them all apart, especially against the smaller ghosts (?) (you die in one hit, I love it). Although the telekinesis doesn't really prioritize greatly, it felt smooth and satisfying once I got the hang of it. I probably would have rebinded 1 and 2 to different keys, but also adore the little sound design and art-style.
Bonus points for the little outro!
Btw, which engine did you guys use? :)
GameMaker, as far as i'm aware!
Cool! Thanks for the heads up!
Great little game. Art and sound were great, and while the telekinesis felt a little awkward, it was still pretty fun.
Love the game! The art and sound is awesome, and the use of the theme is creative. Great job!
There is no tutorial screen or section for the game, which would have been helpful. Didn't know how to control the abilities until i just pressed buttons on my keyboard until something happens. My only other thing to say is that while Little Nightmares uses 3D Assets like models, etc. it is still a side-scrolling platformer. I don't think this game changed enough about it's gameplay into the other dimension. A more interesting idea would have been to make a full 3D platformer in the style of little nightmares.
We weren't taking the idea from little nightmares... I can understand why the name could be misleading. I didn't even know that game existed when we started. We were taking the idea from the gravity gun from Half Life 2. Right click to pick items up, left click to throw, just like in half life. We wish we could have added a controls screen but we ran out of time :(. We posted all this info on our game page and it says what we took the game mechanic from and where to find the controls in the mini description.
We hope you will give our game another chance!
neat game, the menu was really clever . :)
Great concept! At first I thought I had to hold the mouse button down and drag the objects with telekinesis, but after a while I realized that the mouse toggled it. Also, I couldn't seem to get the flashlight to work. However, it was really fun to pick up and throw objects at the monsters, and I loved the eerie aesthetic! Nice job!
Very charming. The music and the art are very good. Great creative use also. Nice work 💪🏼
The art and sound were incredible, but the controls are a little bit weird, you could change de 1 and 2 for 'Q' and 'E' keys. It is a really good concept, keep the hard work.
Please rate us when you have time. Thank you very much.

That was a lovely little entry.
Just to get the bad out of the way, the telekenisis controls were a little weird when holding an item. But for a jam game, I'm not going to hold that against you.
Art and music were delightful. It had a warm, yet chilling, atmosphere to it. I was toying with the idea to do the gravity mechnic from half life as well, but I didn't believe I could do something decent in time. So you proved me wrong there with this! Short and sweet, meaning you can focus on the mechanics more.
Excellent job!
Nice game, i love the atmosphere and the loading screen :)
This is a great pixel art game! It's fun to play. The way you present the options is very clever.
One thing that can make it better. You might add so force on the object when release. It feels a bit wired to hurt the monster now.
It a well done game , but i think u can do a lot more fun thing with this mechanic , u should polish this and release it as a full game
Took a while before I 'got' how the telekinesis worked. Maybe add some free boxes to the menu to play around with before the stakes are rising?
An awesome submission, art sound and gameplay-wise :)
Reminded me of the gravity gun from half life. Definitely one of the best games on this jam. Great job, you deserve it.
definatly the best game ive played for this game jam
Definitely like the idea of gravity gun in 2D! Also, the art is gorgeous. I think it was a bit frustrating gameplay-wise since it took me a while to figure out the controls, and those fast ghosts were really hard to kill. However, props for creativity and polished art :)
Nice game, i'm not understood at all but i think i wined gsjwfk
