even on a powerful machine with hardware acceleration on, for some reason i was having really bad delayed response to any key/mouse input. really unfortunate because this looks truly amazing and highly polished for a jam game!

How does the game relate to the theme (Haunted)?
Happy Hollow is set in an abandoned and said to be haunted Funhouse. The player must progress through the increasingly unsettling levels to uncover more about the haunting, while being pursued...
What optional themes/'powerups' were used, if any (Psychedelic and Machine)?
Psychedelic themes were used as a fundamental design element.

That is unfortunate, we haven't heard of similar performance issues before. If it isn't too inconvenient would be able to try a different browser (also make sure graphics/hardware acceleration is on on that one too) to help us diagnose the issue.
We'd love to do what we can to sort it out so you can give it a proper go!
i tried on Safari, Brave, and Firefox. FF had less lag but still there, seemingly happens when i go to enter a different "area" - past the fence, into the room with the lever, through the mouth door. Hardware Acceleration on for all. i can try on Opera tomorrow and let you know - also if you ever happen to release a downloadable build, that would be great!
Hahaha, thanks for playing. You can actually put them all into the same one! So might not have been a soft lock, there's also a restart level button on the pause menu (tab) if you'd need.
Woah ha that sure sounds like a series of events.
If you're willing to give it another shot, there's still a decent bit of the game left, glad you liked what you did experience!
I got to the end of the final level well my sister got me to the end of the final level cause she’s a lot better at faster pace games than I am, but this was before I found out the real way to get out of the little room was behind the boxes so now I need to try and convince her too get through the game to get to that spot again

Hahaha, yes that's quite close to end!. It's much easier to do it again once you've gotten the hang of it, good luck convincing her!

Thanks for playing again! Happy to see you again. Sorry that the end bit is a bit hard, this is our first time properly doing a 'monster' type of thing in our games so it was CRAZY unbalanced.
We'll keep you in mind for some out of bounds next time. Stay tuned for Eye Jam 3 ;)

Thanks for playing! The end was for sure a little unbalanced too so the timing was quite tight, I'm glad you even made it that far though!
I'll be sure to check your game out!

Thanks so much for playing, we really appreciate it! If you're talking about the first clown room then you might need to look around your environment more. If a door is locked there's usually a task to complete before you can open it! Totally come back to it if you have the time, there is a lot more left to the game past that level :)

Thank you for playing it all the way through! Each of our artists created a different environment with a different theme to try to convey the hallucinations more as you go through! We had so much fun designing the levels ♡

Thanks for playing and mentioning the end chase! We definitely had him turned up to be wayyyyyy too fast so we'll be changing that one asap. You'll be one of the few people that beat it on the super hard mode!
