Another contender for the best game of the jam! Excellent art, music, implementation, and use of the theme. It’s quite difficult, but not rage-inducing. I especially like that you thought ahead about the player staying in place. I would say that the player feels a bit too sensitive, but I’m playing with a keyboard, which is likely not the optimal way to play this game. Excellent work!
Thank you for your kind words and feedback! Pretty much the only reason why i don't keep track of when the player's standing still before the ghosts are spawning is because it might cause issues if the player's standing still for too long, i'm sure there's a way to implement this better, but i only had 7 days and my mind was already trying to figure out the next feature hehe. As for sensitive movement, i somewhat agree with you, but i wanted to keep it very fast paced and snappy, so i left it as is. But yes, you can still use a controller if you wanna have a better control of the character :) Thank you for playing and i hope you liked it.
This is super polished! Fun, original and intriguing too. The only problem I had was when I lost my pillow in a bush lol. Great sound and visuals. Clever how the shadows don't stay in place when you do.
Thank for your feedback! You can always restart if you lose the pillow or can't get it back, but you're right it does need a little bit more work! The shadows don't wait where you wait till you've collected all the clocks that are active when the level starts in case the player's afk or something along those lines, it could cause some issues if you're afk for a long perioud of time, but they will wait after you've collected the first clocks :) Thank you for playing and i hope you liked it.
Very nice game.(=
we would be glad if you check out our game
Thank you so much! Will definitely check out your game when i get a chance!
I had a pretty good time playing this game, well done
Glad you liked it! :)
One of the best games in this Jam!
The only tiny thing missing is instructions on how to use the pillow. ☺
Thank you for playing! I tried to teach how to use it in the first few levels, sorry it wasn't clear enough! I'll try make it better
Great Game over all. They idea fitted very well the theme/limitations and the art is very outstanting. Great job. But sometimes the controls were a bit slippy. A bit more tight would be great. (But maybe that was becaus of the web version). All in all , great work!
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! I'll look into that!
Really well done, a great execution of this style of game and presented really wondefully.
-Favorite part is the pace of multiple shadows coming, so it's not so simple to work around them but you can still dodge them well. But so many nice little things like the animation frames for the pillow bouncing/clock animation.
-I'd like the instructions on the background to be brighter/white.
Noted! Thank you for playing and thank you for your feedback! Will fix that next update :)
Really great game. Can't believe it was made in a week!
Thank you so much for playing! Will be checking your game out as well :)
Neat little game

Very nice
Wanna play my game ?

Hmm never played that game, gotta look into it. Thank you for playing :) Will be checking out your game as well!
Superb!
Thank you for playing! :) Will check out your game as well!
Awesome polish. Nicely done.
Thank you so much! Will be checking out your game as well! :)
This game is insanely polished, I cannot believe that it was only made in 7 days! You devs have a bright future ahead!
Thank you for these kind words! Really made me smile :) Will be checking out your game as well!
Thanks, any feedback and ratings would be appreciated!
Very clever idea. The game is very well polished and makes great use of the themes. I also really appreciate the cute pixel art. All around fantastic job!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Thank you so much! :) Will check out your game as well when i get a chance, got a lot of games on my list
This is well polished! Great job! Keep it up!
Full 5 Stars!
I'd really like to know what do you think of my game.
Thank you so much! Will check out your game as well when i get a chance!
Very nicely done! The pillow mechanics and avoiding your past self are really well designed and do a good job fitting in the theme without sacrificing gameplay. The game feels extremely polished and very fun.
Only thing I'd tweak are the pillow mechanics so that it's easier to jump on a bouncing pillow and to maybe include a button to pick it up if you are around it instead of automatically picking it up.
Overall though, it's incredible you were able to create this game in the time given. Awesome work!
Thank you so much! There's an option in the settings to enable click to pick up so you don't accidentally pick up the pillow, i personally didn't like it so i defaulted it what it is right now. Will also be tweaking how it is now, it definitely needs some work. Will check out your game as well when i get a chance!
A really great game, well done on making something so polished in a week!
Thank you so much! :)
I really like your way of approaching the theme, I myself used complete different approach with the theme Would love for you to check it out and give me your thoughts about it :)
Will definitely check out your game as well! Thank you for playing! :)
If this isn't the highest rated game of the jam im going to T H R O W H A N D S. Congratulations, this is the most polished game i've seen and played thus far. Executes on the focus and theme with flying colors and its a simple yet clever puzzle platformer. Honestly I'm jealous :)
Very cool game! Love the retro looking graphics and the fun pillow idea. I remember an old GMTK jam where there was one tool for everything and I think this would have fit great there too. It's always a thrill when you can use something as simple as a pillow for a handful of things. I couldn't get past level 12 though...sorry :( just couldn't jump up that high.
Thank you for the feedback, really motivates me to keep going! I was going for something that had many purposes. :) The trick for level 12 is to jump from the starting platform to the second pillow to get enough height. Will definitely be playing your game when i have time! Thank you for playing :)
Oh that makes sense! Darn sad I missed it. I appreciate you putting the level selector in there so I can jump back in :)
This game was great! Very well done and great use of the theme and focus! I got to level 12 and just couldn't make it lol.
Thank you so much for playing! I know the difficulty ramps up quite a bit after a while, but I wanted to add a few easy and few hard ones just so that people can sort of see what's possible and what's not. Again, thank you for playing :) Will definitely add your game to my list of games to play
