Really like the visual and the intro, nice work ! We can feel the spooky !
Really nice visuals, gameplay wasn't very gripping but was pretty fun for a bit
Thank you for the feedback! We’ll be rebalancing gameplay and fixing bugs in a post-jam update, so that should hopefully make the game a bit more engaging.
Nice little game. The gameplay is not super exciting, but I really like the spooky vibes. Thanks for joining the jam! :)
Thank you for the feedback! Our post-jam update should hopefully revamp the gameplay and make it more engaging.
The pixel art is well crafted - especially the intro scene wow-ed me.
Music is spooky and some of the soundFX are fitting in really good. Some others are too "harsh" to my ears - I assume time was short and you didn't have the time to record/edit all of them yourself (which is okay, of cause)?
I thought I am clever, and lured lots of zombies+ghosts in one place (circling them) - expecting I can kill them all in one swipe when switching on my flashlight. This was a mistake :-D Not all of them died and the remaining ones mass-mauled my character 😨
Thank you for the comments and feedback! I’m glad you liked the pixel art, our artist is pretty awesome. There definitely are a few bugs (such as the flashlight issue) that I missed during the game’s development, we are working on a post-jam update right now that should fix bugs, rebalance some elements and make the gameplay more engaging. Thank you again!
Same here - also polishing my entry at the moment. Hope to get the update shiny&ready to the end of rating period.
The intro cutscene is a rare and great addition for a jam game. The goal is clear, and the controls are straightforward. The flashlight is a bit odd; it sometimes doesn't seem to kill enemies as expected.
Thank you for the comments and feedback! Yes the flashlight does need to be fixed, I am working on a postjam update that will include that. Thank you again!
The ambience is so spooky and good presentation.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
Very cool opening art! Some really moody and creepy sound design, too, which enhanced the gameplay.
The light seems effective when running into enemies with it, but not up close--it didn't seem to have any effect sometimes. That being said, the game ran smoothly and the gameplay was clear!
Nice job!
Thank you for the comments and feedback! I also noticed the issue with the flashlight, its because the hitbox for the light doesn’t trigger if the enemy is already inside it when the light turns on. I’m working on a post-jam update to hopefully resolve that issue and other little things I wasn’t able to get to. Thank you again!
WTF A CINEMATIC
Haha glad you liked it!
