The lounge music was trippy.

Played the whole game. I like the art work a lot. Choice of music felt off. Could have been a little more challenging and power ups happened too often. By the time you get to the boss your too OP.  Had fun playing!

Ah, that makes sense.

Even with the sound adjusted to be quieter, the mechanic of picking up pumpkins to reload felt a little overly complicated.

While the character art was well-crafted, as an action game, having more dynamic character movement could elevate the gameplay. For example, when jumping toward a ghost without an attack option, my character ended up being pulled upward (haha)—it left me wondering whether that particular movement felt right. Small details like that can make a big difference in the player experience.

The music set a great tone for the game. However, I noticed some UI alignment issues on screens such as the settings menu, so fixing those would definitely improve the polish.

I really enjoyed playing. Thank you!

The music made me feel like I was in a slow, intimate tango in some late-night café, which is a lovely dissonance with a game about a burning scarecrow 🎃 Not what I expected, and I liked it.

One small thing: the main menu UI came out misaligned for me — title cut off, Play button overlapping it, sliders drifting off to the side. Probably a window size thing. Nice work!

The artwork has a nice, cohesive feel to it.

The boss battle music was great and really got me pumped up.

I felt it would be better if the visual cue for the charged attack made it clearer that the attack was actually charging up. Also, around the midway point, I lost track of how far I had progressed in the game, so it would have been helpful to have a stage progress indicator displayed somewhere.

Playing Embercrow felt surprisingly atmospheric, especially considering my preference for text-heavy, narrative-driven experiences over pure action games. Stepping into the shoes of a decaying scarecrow whose very life is tied to a fading candle hit a nice thematic chord. While it's an action game at heart—using WASD to move, clicking to shoot candy, and managing a charge attack—the Mexican-inspired offering details, checkpoints, and lore around the shrinking candle life-bar gave it just enough narrative weight to keep me hooked. On the technical side, the mobile warning was spot on: mobile controls were broken, but once I switched over to desktop, it ran.

Looking under the hood at the AI pipeline, the execution leans heavily on straightforward  tooling.  The asset styles blend reasonably well for a quick jam entry. Still, for a rapid 3-day build, the velocity gains are undeniable—using AI to spin up a 4-level structure, a two-phase colossal pumpkin boss, and a survival mode goes well above traditional solo jam limits. It's an atmospheric slice of AI collaboration,.
