What a great idea to control a game this way.
The first jump scare really caught me off guard ö.ö
Loved the little spider.
very cool and unique idea. it works really well. the jumpscares get a bit repetetive maybe
The webcam idea is brilliant! The theme is implemented in a really clever way here, and I’m genuinely impressed by how well it actually works. The UI is super clean too!
The jumpscares do get repetitive pretty quickly and seem to appear somewhat randomly(?). I think the core idea is really clever though, and a few more scripted moments could make the scares much more effective.
Of course, this was made in just 48 hours, but I could honestly imagine this concept getting quite a bit of attention if you expanded it beyond the minigames and leaned more into another genre — it already feels pretty close to a horror game anyway. 😄
Great work!
Never thought I would see another game using a webcam and eye blinking mechanics again in a game jam haha. Definitely a cool unusual mechanic. I agree with the other comment that it makes it hard to focus though, so it’s not super atmospheric/immersive.
Really unique idea! I never thought of using something other than keyboard/mouse or controller for my games! Great reminder to think outside the box more.
I tried playing with Firefox and couldn't start the game there but worked fine with Chrome!
Great Game!
Very cool implementation! I lost because my contact lenses dried out from focusing and trying not to flinch.
This idea contains so much potential! I don't know if this is the best or worst kind of game for streamers ;)
Right now, the system is a bit too sensitive for my liking. Interested to see someone (maybe you guys) pursue this idea further.
It's such a cool idea and I love that you worked with horror for the theme. I would suggest focusing on less things happening on the screen though. Would love to see more polished version of this game!
I love the fact that you made a horror game for the jam. The idea is great, but unfortunately it’s a bit distractive and too much happens on the screen, so that the horror can’t kick in. A built-up and more subtle horror would have worked better. At the current stage it’s a bit silly. But that’s also fun. :D
That's true, whenever I lost the game it was because I had to laugh instead of getting jump scared haha
Definitely worth getting my Laptop for that xD
