The art was amazing, and I LOVED the movement. The level design was also very nice with showing the enemies across a creak, before you actually encounter them. All in all, very enjoyable!

Great game! I loved the art in this, and your use of the game jam theme was pretty cool. It took me a bit to get it as I just kept reviving myself and ended up losing right away in my first try, but I realized it quickly on a second attempt. I like how you eased the player into how things worked, starting with just walking, then introducing the key, etc. I'm curious what the one character you talk to in the last level was referring to though, since I seemed to just finish the game immediately after without seeing anything come of it. Regardless, I enjoyed the game. Well done!

Would You Kill for a Home?Great game. Compliments on the wordless tutorial and I like the central mechanic. also I was surprised when the ghosts popped up, it was a neat twist to add more flavor to the mechanic, had me dying in random spots looking for ghosts.

Mutant TomagachiThank you so much for the kind words!
We actually debated whether we should put a guided tutorial in or just leave breadcrumbs for the player so I'm glad we made the right call :)
Sorry that there weren't too many ghosts around apart from near the keys hahah we ran out of time to write extra dialogue for them. Thanks again!
Awesome art, loved the gameplay too; it felt like an old-school dungeon crawler.

BLOOD BOUNDAwesome art direction!! The music/sound effects in combination with the 2D art and environment really set the atmosphere. I was a bit lost when I encountered the first bad guy, but overall great creative direction !!!

Mourning WoodThis was really fun to play!! The art is beautiful and the sound design is both comfy and mysterious. The constant heartbeat in the bass definitely fit the tone, and while the vibe was spoopy the other elements and the interesting characters kept it engaging without being too much! I especially loved Dumbo C: Thank you team
the vibe was great and the art was so cool! A cool thematic concept. The dialogue repeats itself every time you're caught. I would have liked an option to skip but great overall!

'Til Death do we JumpThank you so much for playing our game! Glad you enjoyed the theme we incorporated into the game :)
This game was my first time programming dialogue for a game so it ended up being a little scuffed haha, we'll definitely add the option to skip the dialogue if we continue the game further.
Thanks again!
