Nice and simple mechanic. If you could add more enemy types and maybe HP bars and maybe enemy vibration when damaged this could be a very interesting game. Thumbs up
Thank you! Yeah we will try to improve the game :)
I'm afraid of the nights in this game!!! :O The synchronization is a highlight of this game. I love the theme too. Camping. I think they nailed the theme.
Some visual polish and the game would significantly advance in immersion.
Thanks for playing and for your comment! We think so too, maybe in the future we'll make the game look better!
Loved the night-time song and gameplay! The notes have good rhythm variety, and the periods with NO notes are as stressful as those with a lot of notes because they let the bears approach without a good way to scare them back! Needing to focus on both the notes and the direction of the light is very interesting as a mechanic, because it's hard to pay attention to both directly at the same time. I like the tradeoff of learning the pattern and trying to aim the flashlight with your peripheral vision, and then beating the bears back once you learn the new rhythm and can watch that out of the corner of your eye instead!
I think the first two notes of the beatbox/daytime song are a bit wonky. I managed 69/69 by spamming X in the beginning, but playing normally I could only manage 67/69.
Thank you so much for that detailed feedback!
Tbh, we also wanted to do the second track line with different notes and this was supposed to make the game either harder or easier, depending on what mechanics we would add for the cassette, but unfortunately we didn't make it to the release, and we found out about the possibility of adding updates to the game just a couple of hours ago. Because of this, I just made a small update to the game, where I fixed the victory bug, and also added mini tutorials before the gameplay and credits in the menu. Something like that, and thank you for telling me about the day bug, i also discovered it earlier today, so yeah.
Theme so well matched!
Thank you !
Theme so well matched!
Love the genre mashup, really cool. The night was actually pretty scary lol. Oh and great use of the cassette minigame, acts as a nice little tutorial before the stakes get high. Awesome!
Yeah, that was our goal haha, thanks for the kind words and The feedback!
Very unique art style and mechanics. took me a while to realize that to reg the beats was the button X
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah this is our bad that we didn't made tutorial haha sorry😅
Looking at the bar in the bottom right and where the bears come from at the same time was a little too difficult for me haha :D I’m not sure how to improve this, maybe move the bar near the tent instead? Either way, nice concept
Thank you for the playing and the review! Yes we thought about that also, in the first we also wanted include the second track(cassette) left to the flashlight, and it should have made the game easier. But we didn't made it in time, so that's the result haha. Again thanks for the feedback!
Cool and unique art style! I had a bit of trouble understanding the game mechanics at first, especially during the minigames. I think having a visual cue showing which letter to press could really help. It wasn’t very clear to me why I was pressing the X button to validate notes.
Really great job syncing the beat with the running notes! I’d love to hear how you pulled that off. Also, having a web version of your game would be super cool and could help it reach a lot more players.
Also, during the sleeping phase, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Could you explain that part a bit more?
And having a web version of your game would be cool as well and reach a large number of players.
Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words!
You're right—we didn’t have much time to add a proper tutorial, so here’s how things work:
During the night phase, you need to aim at enemies using your mouse (your flashlight follows the cursor), and then press X to “shoot” the light. When you hit an enemy, it gets knocked back. So you just need to "survive" the song.
Also we thought about web version, but again we submitted the game it at the last minute.
Very interesting gameplay and idea! 😁😁
Thank you!
