Hey there! 🎃


I just played ScreenMania and had a great time! The atmosphere was eerie, and the lighting and sound really set the mood. The gameplay loop was simple but effective, and I can see it working well as part of a larger game. One suggestion: the knob controls were a bit tricky to manage, so tweaking the sensitivity could improve the experience.


If you have a moment, I'd love for you to check out my game Hush Boy, Hush and drop a rating: /jam/gamedevtv-halloween-jam-2025/rate/3971977


Thanks so much and best of luck in the jam! 👻

Great atmosphere, lighting and sound.

The gameplay loop itself is, in my opinion, probably too simple? I think it could work well as a minigame within something larger though

OMFG that scared the crap outta me, and I read the comments and knew it was coming. The animations, lighting and SFX were really fantastic.

This felt more like an elaborate reason for a jump scare. Like someone waiting in a closet to jump out at you. So there wasn't really any game. I'm pretty sure those knobs didn't work.

Very creative for what it was.

the knob was a bit hard to control but that random jump  scare when i lost was crazy overall good work!

Congrats on completing your game! A simple mechanic, easy to learn, and fun to play is what game jams are for. The SFX really sell the experience. Nice job!

was a fun experience. probably it's just randomness right to get the right tv settings? When you take to long that the setting changed to right i already new some "horror" stuff is coming. The Atmosphere was really nice combined with the sounds

Great game concept! So simple - tune the tv, what can be more obvious for theme then this. Well done! 

Screamer at the end is spare in my opinion. You made a good atmosphere already :)
