Interesting piece!
The sounds of the eyes blinking is stupidly amusing to me, and the game in general is pretty polished! It features some very nice art with a cute little soundtrack. Controls feel smooth and mechanics feel fitting!
Overall, great game, no complaints!
Very fun puzzle platformer! Love the monsters and creepy floors and spikes and such. The platforming was a little floaty, and I'm also just enough of an idiot that the puzzles are too damn hard for me, so I couldn't get to the first tent.
Cool game! The aesthetics manage to walk the line between cute, but also creepy since there are so many eyes. Simple style, but great execution :) The story was well done, as were the sounds (although occasionally the sound would cut out and just be mute for 30 seconds or so), and sometimes near ledges the kid could double jump. Other than that, the game feels very polished. Nice work :D
Cute games! And the puzzles are great too. I love those sound effects in different monsters . However I failed to finish it because area 2 is quite hard for me. It is hard for me to deal with those two balls and the bullets. My reaction is tooooo slow :(
This game is nice and cute, the sound effects are nice, and the game music is nice. the jumping mechanic I think could be a little bit more refined since I think it's a bit too floaty.
nice job tho, I think it could be a solid winner
The game is cute and has a nice music! It feels smooth to play, good puzzle and a fitting atmosphere. I'm not a fan of platformers but I enjoyed this one. Nice job!
Very nice game, really enjoyed the puzzles!
Sweet game.
I enjoyed this, it looked good and played good too. I wish some of the puzzles allowed for the boxes you needed to use to solve them to be destroyed and respawned if you messed the puzzle up but that it really only a minor issue.
I really enjoyed the game and have rated it. Please do try and rate my game too.
I enjoyed the graphics and music, and the sound effects were spot on. The story and NES-style intro cutscene were well-done, and the game was pretty flawlessly put together. My only issues were that the jump seemed a little floaty, and sometimes if you fall and try to jump again immediately you only do a tiny hop. More than once this made me accidentally jump straight into a hole. Apart from that, I really liked it. I think my favorite things were the creepy monochrome background art contrasted with the cute pastel colors of the main character.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The platforming definitely needs some work, and we'll put more time into that post-jam, along with other improvements and more levels. Hope you give it another go then!
Nice work, solid platform horror. I enjoyed the monster growls and the smacking sound the pits made. Safety blanket ftw!
There's some really cool ideas in here! I really liked both the hiding mechanic and the puzzles where you needed the enemies to push the box for you. The art style is really good too. I like how the character's style didn't quite match the rest of the world, which makes sense thematically.
Only real complaint I had was how floaty the jump felt. I would have trouble going up small steps if I wasn't holding the jump button down every time.
Overall really good game! It's pretty lengthy too, though that might be because I failed a lot lol. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback! The platforming definitely needs some fine tuning, so we'll work on that in future builds. Hopefully you'll come back and check it out then.
Nice game, the music and the graphics fit great together!
Nice game! Very polished!
Nice game! The pixel art works very well with the sound, and the puzzles were nicely done.
The game has nice pixel art and very well thought out puzzles. It's a little harsh to look at with the white and black colors while moving. Some kind of tearing / blur that makes me a bit nauseous. Well done on this game however!
Thanks, we appreciate the feedback. There are definitely some visual issues that we're working on fixing in future builds, along with some other fixes and more content. Hope you'll come check it out again later!
Thank you for letting us know and I'm sorry that it had that kind of effect. We'll be working on it after the jam so we'll aim to fix any visual issues like that
Really nice artwork, the restricted dark colour palette to make the levels feel really eerie. The music is great, the idea for nightlight checkpoints is very smart and I especially liked the creepy eye animations from the pit monsters and their gross blinking noises - Yuck!
Thanks a lot! ^^
Nice artwork!
Thanks!
This was amazing! I loved the art style and the puzzles were quite enjoyable! I also like the concept of hiding from monsters under the blanket, really nice! Music was great too! Overall, a great game, I loved it! Great job!
Thank you so much!
