THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! And by the way, the music is just FIRE! This is the best game in this jam! I'd love for this game to be released on Steam. I'd happily buy it.
Issues: 1. At first I didn't understand how to play. 2. In the red dimension the music can just disappear. 3. I wish the ghosts dealt damage.
The ghosts do deal damage, you must’ve just been really good at dodging them! Thank you for the kind words :)
You get spawn camp by the spirit when you shift realm sometimes, so not really worth going after them, and there's not much to the gameplay either, but I really like the visuals and music
The aesthetic is definitely great!! It has good music. The scanlines get in the way a bit too much, but the rest of the visuals are fine. The game is a bit hard to understand, and the ghosts are too fast to make it worth the risk of going to that realm, but it's still really awesome!
Finally!
A game with horror elements! I can see the similarities with the game "FAITH".
I would say that it would have been EVEN cooler if the audio was also 8-bit; it definitely would have improved the atmosphere.
One small feedback: make the timer a bit shorter; 5min is a bit too long.
Sadly, I would have to agree with the others: the blanket usage isn't there.
But i can see a priest "tidying up" a haunted mansion or house :D
Completely agree with every point, currently overhauling the game to just be better, since the jam is over I’m removing the blanket and making that work another way. :)
THIS GAME SCARED ME SO HARD AND I LOVE IT. It feels like old 2d FNAF mini games. Visuals 5/5 absolute peak but due to deadline gameplay is a bit boring and implementation of theme and speacial object are also weak. This game worth playing and I would loove to play again but when its polished.
Fair assessments! Due to deadline I was trying to figure out how to make the gameplay actually fun and couldn’t do everything I wanted, planning to make a revised version that adds to the gameplay.
I really liked the audiovisual aspect of the game, gameplay wise i feel like the pathing of the game is a bit slow and repetitive, adding items of some sort that help you clean the house or exorcise faster would really have improved it. Also a way of seeing where the ghost are before you or they start moving after shifting to the spirit world would have been good as sometimes I got hit as I was switching worlds.
Yess I agree with all of these! Good assessments! Definitely planning to do a revision update that adds more to the gameplay.
Great style! Controls are polished! Not very fun to play tho...
Thank you for the feedback :)
