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!
If you have the time, please check out our game!
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!
I really liked the art style in this, especially the colour palettes and the overall narrative too. Very nice work!!
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.
Thank 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!
Very nice game! the art, music, writing and the general vibe was amazing. The only thing is that it was very short and an ending a bit abrupt. I would have liked just a little bit more of it.
Good job!
Really nice puzzle game, I liked the dialogue too.
Yooo this is so cool! I love the texture on the walls and the creature designs are fascinating! I did enjoy just wondering around the place, the music makes it feel so mysterious!
Interesting concept, loved the music and audio, gave a really good creepy vibe. Got stuck when enemies appeared, but enjoyed playing either way!
Awesome art, loved the gameplay too; it felt like an old-school dungeon crawler.
Awesome 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 !!!
the art is gorgeous, the vibe is fantastic and it overall is awesome! I love this game
Music is awesome too!!
love the visuals and the gameplay!! took me a minute to work out that you have to die near the key to get past the first eel, but i love the concept of having to die to progress, and i think it would make for some really fun puzzles if you guys decided to do something with it in the future! :) <3
Combination of visuals + music is great!
This 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
Thank you so incredibly much! We all appreciate it so incredibly much, the kind words mean the world!
Thank you so much for playing and also for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment💕
(i'm so glad you like the dumbo <3 I hope we can develop them all further!)
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!
Thank 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!
I feel that! We also had a lot of firsts that I would modify if I could do it again haha
