This game is quite complete for a jam game, though arcade style jump scare gets quite old for me, this game does it does well. What I think can be better is some relaxing 8-bit bgm, and one or two presudo level to ease player up, that can enhance the theme and scare the sh*8 out who plays game to the end.

yooo thanks for playing! i totally get you on the over-saturation of these types of game setups. but when i first saw theme the thought "what if i made my own creepypasta" entered my head xd. i grew up on that era and circle of internet stories where it was just "X game, but haunted?!?" and i haven't made a horror game yet so i thought i wanted to pay homage to that era of the internet xd.
i also totally agree with the pacing improvement through easing the player in with 1-2 levels, would have made for a nicer build up for the game and allowed them to get comfortable with the mechanics! also agree with the music, messed up my priorities and ended up running out of time to include music unfortunately. one of the jam participants, ncharlie, was kind of enough to make music for the game unprompted after pointing out the same thing, which is absolutely insane! i'll definitely be uploading a quick post-jam version with the music they made + a couple of bug fixes sometime after the rating period! also you should check out their game if you have time because its pretty sick too: https://itch.io/jam/acerola-jam-0/rate/2582880
again thanks for playing and posting some nice feedback, means a lot!
