  • I lost control of the camera after turning on water. However, I was able to run off the edge of the map into the abyss. I liked the art style and the audio work. It seems to be quite interesting if fleshed out a bit more. Keep going!

Tell us about your game!
You are in a control room and try to help a little character in a 2d world which will encounter some ennemies. You can interact with some items to launch spells and combinate them to kill specific monsters. Around you there are also some monsters lurking around. Try to stay focus on your character !

Extra Notes
First game ever. The ambiance is really unsettling and weird, I know it's too much but I don't have enough time to adjust it so I'm sorry ^^'
I still hope to have a lot of feedback to improve a lot.
Thank you !

11/10 creep factor. The spells seemed to shoot automatically so I was free to walk around without worrying about the little guy on the screen. I walked backwards and went up a ramp and then fell through the world. Not sure if it was intended. Suddenly, I was in advanced darkness with nothing but the whimpers of a sadistic child ringing in my ears.

Spooky! I hope you continue developing this. I like the idea of combining elements for different effects. Keep making games!

I think aesthetically  this game does hit the creepy vibe, and with polish it can be quite a fun game!


A few issues I ran into is the audio looping constantly including what I think was the ending in which the voice tells us we are bleeding even while still alive, as well as my character seemed to have locked and was unable to look around which made picking cards very hard.

I like the idea of mix elements to protect yourself on the theater screen, it is a very interesting way of doing the idea of alchemy.

For your first game ever this was Extremely impressive!

Cheers, hope to see you next Game Jam.
