Hey there! Your huge comment made me jump in my chair too! Anyways jokes aside, I really appreciate your words!
I would like to address the problems you have mentioned.
To begin with jumping, horror games generally restrict you from jumping to make you feel even more powerless.
I am very much aware of every single issue you have faced. The "not dying when looking from a far distance" was intentional, so that you could sometimes take a glance at him (and possibly get more creeped out).
But "dying even when looking at the ground", "the stars not resetting after you die", "the tiny text" (it's because of me not properly setting up the text for different sizes of monitors), "sensitivity", are all mistakes on my part, and I was running out of time and energy, but still wanted to submit something.
Since I wasted my first day trying to figure out how to implement the theme (it was not clicking for me), the next day I just had to make something, and I also took my 2nd dose of vaccine. So I just went ahead and made this game. And I agree with you, even I don't get how the theme translates in this game. I just challenged myself in my first ever game jam, learned a ton. And by the next jam, I'll come way more stronger. But you really did dissect my game to the knitty gritties, which I really like, and thanks again for the constructive criticism and feedback! I understand you don't like horror games, and people with heart problems should definitely stay away! But horror games are what I do, and scaring the crap out of people is my highest goal! :)
I haven't played your game yet, but I will definitely play it. All the best!
A solid game! You made great use of the theme, the music fit perfectly, and the kick felt powerful! I completed it, and I like that there is a choice of whether to hit the enemies or not! Great job!
A chill puzzle game! Loved it! It has the potential for more advanced levels too! Just one suggestion for the future, make sure the music doesn't reset every time I fail or enter a new level, because the music choice was great! Great job!
Absolutely loved the music! You made the theme shine, and perfectly implemented the mechanics according to that! Well done! And the signboards? They just give so much character to your game! 5/5!
Glad you can't sleep now! (In a good way!) Didn't realize the AI would be so difficult to implement, and it doesn't behave the way I intended at all in the build, but thanks a lot for playing!
