this game is soo cute haha~ nice to finally see a cute entry in the jam:D i really like your pixel animations - you made the best of the monochromatic palette and gave everything character! the game is so hard for me thoxD ripp 

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and for the kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the pixel art and animations. I put quite a bit of effort into working with the monochromatic palette, so it's nice to see that you appreciated it!

Haha, I might have made the game a bit too challenging though XD

Thanks again for the feedback!

I love the art and animations! The controls feel nice and the level design is really creative, but a bit too hard for me... Really challenging

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy you enjoyed the art, animations, controls and level design!

I know the game can be quite challenging, but I'm glad you gave it a try! Maybe I made some sections a little TOO difficult... XD

Thanks again for your kind words!

Very cute game! I love the animations and the sprites of the environments and the player as well! The mechanics feel fluid and nice especially the wall jumping, though I do feel like the difficulty spike is a bit too high for me. I feel like some areas have a really unforgiving hitbox that makes it very hard to progress but that may have been intentional. Overall, I had fun with this one! Great work!

Thank you so much for playing and for the detailed feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the animations, the art and the mechanics!

I agree that some sections can be quite challenging, and the difficulty spike might be a bit too steep. The hitboxes are definitely something I can look into and improve!

Thanks again for your kind words and suggestions. I'm happy you had fun playing!

I love the attention put into the animations and sounds effects, they really brought the environment to life and tied the aesthetics in nicely!!! I am bad at platformers, so it was a little tricky for me at points, but I think overall you've managed to create a very polished game :))))

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy you noticed the little details in the animations and sound effects. I put a lot of effort into making everything feel cohesive!

I know some sections can be a bit challenging, but I'm glad you enjoyed the experience overall. Thanks a lot for playing!

I Wanna Be The Guy style hard as hell 1-Bit lookin' platformer with spooky music. My kinda game haha, nice.

Developer(+1)

Haha, glad you enjoyed it! I was definitely going for that challenging old-school platformer feel, with a spooky atmosphere on top. Thanks for playing!

The art style and animations were really well done. I got pretty stuck on the multiple-wall-jump spiky obstacle part near the end of the game for about 15 minutes lmao, a skill issue on my part, but I still made it!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the art and animations! That wall-jump section was definitely meant to be a challenge, but 15 minutes is quite a journey!

Congrats on making it through, and thanks for playing!

I really like the art style and the character animations. I love the concept of using only two colors: black and white.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like the art style and animations! I wanted to give the game a distinctive look by sticking to just black and white. Thanks for playing!

it is really one of those old school nintendo type games.

and infact a cute horror one. i would definitely come back to it. keep adding level please

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game!

I actually plan to keep working on it and adding more levels. I don't intend to abandon the project anytime soon! 😄

It's really motivating to hear that you'd come back to play more. Thanks for the support!

I found the red door after almost smashing my keyboard XD. Very reminiscent of the ol' Game Boy games. Love the cute art!

Developer(+1)

Haha, I'm glad you managed to find the red door! 😂 Sorry for putting your keyboard through all that trouble!

The Game Boy comparison is actually a huge compliment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the art. Thanks a lot for playing!

Nice game entry! It's just too tight for my taste. I liked the art and the music. It wasn't spooky though. 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the art and music! 😄

Just to clarify, my goal wasn't really to make a scary game. The theme of the jam was "Haunted", and I chose to interpret it through the atmosphere, the environment and the enemies, such as ghosts and spirits, rather than focusing on horror.

But I totally understand that it might not feel spooky enough for everyone! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

This game made me feel anger but i loved the vibe and music great game keep up the good work

Developer(+1)

Haha, I'm sorry for the frustration! 😂 But I'm really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and music! Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words!

It’s very difficult, but that’s actually more of a plus.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! 😄 I honestly didn't think my game was that difficult XD

Submitted

This game is so cute! I couldn't get through level 2 though. I'm not a big player of platformers so I didn't realize you could wall hug. Even when I was able to do it, I kept barely missing the next wall. If you have any tips, pls lemme know! I really wanna go further! 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my game! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Here's a little tip for level 2: try holding down the jump button! The longer you hold it, the higher your character will jump. This should help you reach those tricky walls!

Good luck, and I hope you make it further! 😄

What lovely pixel art. It’s really fun to play this game.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the game! I put a lot of time and effort into the pixel art and overall visual design, so it means a lot to hear that you like it! 😄
