Great puzzle flow with a fair timer and a fun intro. The visuals and concept work really well, and the challenge ramps up nicely as you learn the routes. Familiar idea, but still very enjoyable. Well done!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Of all puzzle games, my favorites are always the ones where you need to perform under pressure. In fact, I beat the reaper's curse when the timer reached 0! Very stressful, but very enjoyable. Good job!
Thanks for checking the game out! Initially we were thinking that you’d lose as soon as the timer hit 0, but we found it more thrilling to instead be chased by the reaper, since it gives you an extra bit of time, and you can even kite him with some luck.
This game is really fun to play, love those puzzles, my legs are burning, but I guess I'm just too slow for this, the music and SFXs creates some horror atmosphere, the controls are really smooth, well made!
Thanks for playing! Great to hear that you had a good time with it :)
Pretty fun and well thought idea i really enjoyed this one though i think 44 seconds is not enough to solve the puzzles lol, plus i got jumpscared when the reaper caught me, great game dude!
Thanks for checking the game out! You’re right, the 44 seconds isn’t enough to solve all the puzzles - but that’s also the point. The aim is to learn the environment, puzzles, and shortcuts over multiple runs, so that on each retry you have a new objective. Perhaps we could have made that a bit clearer though. Your feedback is appreciated!
Really like this one it's awesome XD
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved the game, high replayability value. Reminded me of Minit :D
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Minit was 100% a inspiration.
