Simple but very fun! Liked the story and concept of the game. I aimed for the 100 but got very nervous everytime I went higher.
Holy wow that's like triple what anyone got in testing great job
Thanks for playing
Great audio. Simple but effective. Controls felt just a little clunky but it wasn't a big deal and worked with the tension.
such a simple and concise game idea! and something that finally leverages my impulsive adhd brain. I made it to 18ish and then died. I really enjoyed the reduced presentation, especially the ambient audio and the monster's voice was super spooky. a few minutes well spent for me!
The game graphics and the idea are great!, a little feedback i think its' the arrows can have a different color or a little more of time of each sequence. When increase the difficulty i don't have to much time to remember and this can help a little.
The control timer was really hard to get to quickly. Awesome project
Some great art and sounds along with an interesting take on controls. I do wish there was some variety though
A pretty interesting game with simple premise. The audio was great and really interesting.
Very fun game! I love the sound and the visuals. It's also a fun challenging memory game that made me want to keep playing after I stopped the first time. I would love to see more stuff in this aesthetic realm! great job
I thought this was pretty fun! I like the simple simon says, but the audio and sound design is really nice! I was a bit confused at first because I didn't know what the objective was and lost a few times, but I managed to figure out after a bit of trail and error. Great job!
High score 18! It could be cool if the beast also talked when giving instructions, with each arrow corresponding to a different pitch, so you could get a bit of a audio queue too. Overall, it's a solid experience.
Solid take on Simon Says. How'd you make the creepy voice?
its SAM: Software Automatic Mouth, the game Faith uses it too for its MORTIS sound effect, i got the idea from that
Really simple but effective, as a huge analog horror fan getting the classic text-to-speech voice was so good. Love the ambient background noise
On my first playthrough I intentionally went towards the beast as quickly as possible to see what would happen, so it's safe to say my self-preservation instincts could do with some adjustment. I really loved the old-school TTS voice, by the way. On my second playthrough, I got to "SAFE 15" and decided that it was not, in fact, coming.
Honestly, the way you've implemented the controls is really clever for a horror game. In any other genre, I'd complain about how having to awkwardly position a tiny stick figure over the buttons to do a basic action is tedious and frustrating, but here, it's a really effective way of making a simple game of Simon Says nice and tense.
Fun little game, addictive and challanging! Well done!
Thank you for playing
Interesting concept! It's simple, atmospheric, and has a nice arcade feel. I was a bit confused by the instructions at first, and it took me a while to figure out the progress bar, but once I did, everything clicked.
Overall, it's a really nice game. Great job!
Thank you so much for playing
Simple but well executed and the choice of a robotic voice was great. "It is coming" it sure did come. Accurate
Tysm for playing
Creepy vibe! I like how you used the wildcards!
Tysm thanks for playing
I launched the game and was a bit confused at first, I think a round of came and went, and I didn't realize I was already playing. The visuals and audio of the game felt right to me, I particularly like the first iteration of the monster's appearance, just two little dots in the darkness. The controls felt clunky, but I don't think that's a bad thing, considering the theme of the game. I think that it's even possible to add more complexity to they player's controls, like having a pseudo "cinematic platformer" (og Prince of Persia, etc.) style control scheme, where you have to climb on top of the buttons, or otherwise jump from button to button. One thing I noticed while playing is that the difficulty of the game plateaus once you reach 5-button patterns. It felt like the only thing stopping me from reaching some sort of kill-screen was attention and personal stamina.
Awww man, I hate it when my creepypasta arcade cabinet shrinks me into a little guy and then eats me.
