I had a great time playing the game. The graphics and art style are perfect. At first, I didn't really get how the game should be played and ended up returning to the tents empty-handed several times lol. But after a few encounters, I finally got it, and it became super interesting. Love it!
Absolutely love the graphics and the vibe of the game, it has a strong personality of its own.
It is however very very hard >_< I haven't been able to complete it so far. I'll keep trying, but the spooky guy keeps coming at me way too fast for me to do anything.
That being said the death screen is hilarious so I really don't mind seeing it often.
Try utilizing the hay stacks, there is a hiding mechanic with those
The art is amazing, and I'm always a sucker for 3D mixed with 2D, coupled with sound designs the mood is nicely set. I do feel my skill issues caused me to not get far though, but maybe I will try one more time lol. Good work on this!
Interesting mix of cute 2D aesthetics and the more spooky 3D-ish environment.
I liked the visual of the game and the gameplay! cool. Rate my game it's a masterpiece
The art direction is very cute, but the feeling of fear is still there.
The heartbeat sound is a good intention to warn of danger, but perhaps lacks a way to better anticipate or escape from it.
Or, if the encounter with the monster is to remain punishing, to probably be able to move a little faster to fill the void that is created by walking on new attempts. I tried many times before succeeding, but you have to know how to put yourself in danger to make potions!
To all those testing the game: I advise you to finish it, the final screen is perfect!
Glad you played through to the end, I'm sure @sweazey48 is happy you like the final screen haha
I didnβt mention it, but I also really liked the bamboo area. The lighting effect is really cool!
The artstyle, lighting and visuals in general are pretty great, and are definitely the highlight of the game for me, being both cutesy while not eliminating the horror. I also think that the atmosphere is generally pretty good, being spooky without being overbearing.
However, i feel like the gameplay could use some touchups. You move very slowly and there isn't much to do except just wander the map randomly and hope you find what the ingredients. It also felt like the pumpkin guy just attacked you randomly without much warning, which led to there not being much counterplay meaning it was just a matter of luck if i was near a haystack or not. If there is a pattern to his attacks i think you should make it easier for the player to pick up on that pattern. I also had some issues with foreground objects blocking my sight, making it hard to see my character.
Overall, a pretty enjoyable experience though.
I really liked the game for its cool visual style. I was very surprised when I discovered that you can walk not just on the path X). Personally, I felt that the main character could really use a sprint function. It would also be great to receive some introductory information from the witch, as she looks very charismatic. Also, I think I encountered a bug — the main character doesn't hide in the hay for some reason and gets stuck, which forces me to restart the game.
The sprint or a dash mechanic has been asked for by a few people and that may be something we are considering adding it once the scream jam is over! An introduction/tutorial coming from the witch would be a great touch. Unfortunately we were running out of time and put together a tutorial in the main menu. That could be something that gets added later on after the jam is over.
With your bug encounter, the hay stacks now work thanks to our amazing programmers fixing that issue and pushing out a update today.
Thanks for playing and why not give it a shot again! Others have enjoyed the end/win screen that one of our developers made.
Yes, of course, Iβll try again, but over the weekend this time :)
Spooky but also really cute.
Nice game, I feel it a little bit slow, like the character is moving too slow for the animation. The artstyle and animation looks awesome!
Agreed, will change it after the end of rating
The game is adorable, yet pretty scary, I love it!
Honestly, it would be nice, if it gets a sequel or expansion, I feel that your game has a future. It would also win from some dialogues with mentor, and maybe if main character moved faster, she's running from a monster, after all.
We were planning on adding multiple levels. We just didnβt have enough time to add any more within the given time.
I love the design of this game, really great, awesome UI and screen animations, loved the character art and especially the 2D blended with 3D style I think you pulled it off really well. Nice gameplay too although my guy was pretty slow. Seeing as the maps quite big if you are doing any post jam updates to this I think a shift to sprint with a short metre so you canβt just go zooming would be a nice touch.
Very good entry
I apologize for that. I added a full-screen button for the game, and if that doesnβt work then you can download the build too.
Nice nice, played and changed my comment
Hee-ho. Very cute art (and moster). I just think the main character is too slow
love the atmosphere!
I want the witch to step on me
Ayooooo
Very nice artstlye, great atmosphere guys! Didn't get far tho, will come back later to beat it:)
There has been various bug fixes that were implemented today that should make knowing where you are on the map much easier (pressing tab, there is a player icon that gets displayed showing where you (Bipi) are located).
Also the programmers removed the glue that stuck players inside the hay piles and forcing them to restart the game. Now with no glue, they should be working as intended and is a great way to hide away from the evil scarecrow.
Appreciate you trying out the game and would recommend giving it another shot!
The art and lighting was amazing! The farthest I got was collecting two items. Nice to see some Godot representation.
Nice art! Loved it!
Amazing lighting effects! It has an excellent atmosphere and the music especially stood out to me.
Great job guys! :)
