This game was Really fun! Some things I noted:

  • The cheesy lines added a really nice touch. Loved the crystal ball guy haha
  • The controls were really responsive
  • Art for characters was really good and left a nice touch
  • UI was SOLID. Very cool
  • The carnival games were so fun. Simple good fun

Some snags I hit while playing:

  • The prompt to pick up tickets wasn’t near where the object was. Kind of had to fiddle around with it.
  • It was hard to tell if I was hitting enemies sometimes. Especially if they were further away.
  • The movement speed was a tad slow with how big you designed the level in the second half. Very little action backtracking trying to find where I missed a ticket.
  • Options menu didn’t seem to do anything? It’s alright if it was never gotten to I understand. A month is such a short time to make a game and I think you did amazing.
  • Had the game give me a ‘FATAL ERROR’ and crash twice. Both times I was pressing tab to check my inventory when it happened when I had 4-5 tickets. This reset my ticket count and I had to collect them all in the second half again haha.

With all that said. I loved it and think you did amazing with the time you had. It was stylized and fun even if I had a few setbacks. Nothing was unworkable and I was able to complete the game and had a great time! I hope to see what you make in the future :)

Alchemist out.

Wow thank you so much for your extensive and well thought out feedback!

 I'm so sorry you had crashes and we will definitely look into that so thank you for letting us know. Like you said we were very rushed for time and with it being this time of year we overestimated how much we could complete in the time with some other issues along the way lol. 

Options menu was not really worked on because of the reason you said so that is something that will get worked on for sure and everything else you said is something that will get fixed/worked on.


Again, thank you so much for the feedback it was very informative and helpful to us and we appreciate the compliments too :D

No problem I think you did great. I always try to give what my experience was in as much detail as possible good and bad, because I know how important it is to hear feedback. Just like writing a paper and getting your rough draft read by someone else.

I’m glad it’s appreciated :)

I really enjoyed this game. The only complaint I have is I wish it was longer.  Got a jump scare when shooting the targets and I heard a strange sound and a clown jumped me. Art work was really good and horrifying, felt like the evil clown apocalypse. Voices definitely added to the scare
