Game is not super horror, but kind of neat for a puzzle platformer. I liked the spatial sound for the enemies, and the mechanic of the doppelganger midway through was also pretty cool! There were a few visual glitches, but none that took away from the playability of the game.
I wasn't super fond of the tile based levels done with more velocity based movement, but it was okay once I got the hang of it.
Great job!
Wow, uh... I didn't think this really fit the horror theme and then my double showed up. Very spooky and well done. I kinda felt a chill when I clicked "LEAVE." I did have a hard time controlling the character. I feel like either more precision or an invisible wall to prevent me from falling into the water would have been welcome. Still, there was a tenseness to it the way it is and I definitely appreciate the puzzles, the variety, and the sound and art.
VERY good job! One of my favorite entries!
Wish there was more, definitely fun!
Love puzzle games.
Awesome puzzler, good mechanics, good art. Would love to see this game go full release after the jam.
I think this game jam theme just sucks so people did what they want to have fun with the jam. Sucks so many points are based on theme. Its got good graphics and the puzzle gameplay is fun. I played several levels but the mirror stages got to be more annoying than fun.
is it a horror game? no, its a puzzle game. is it fun? yes, as an old puzzle game fan i approve, athough maybe slow the player down a little, it feels too fast. what about game design? pretty good, the components work well together to make great puzzles. all in all well done.
Played the game, and I quite enjoy the design of the tutorials as it demonstrates what the game wants from the player. The asymmetrical sections is also good as it spiced things up. The creepiness isn't really there so I would say it does not exactly fit the theme. One suggestion I have is the movement could be grid snapped. Overall, good fun, nice design, could work on more regarding the theme.
This is a spooky little puzzle game. I wish I knew more about the story, but I also kind of don’t mind that I haven’t been told. The effect of being caught by a monster actually got an “oh, crap” out of me - very nice. The puzzles were really intuitive and the tutorial versions of them were super easy to understand. None of them were too difficult, which I appreciate. I will say the controls were a bit iffy - it was really easy to accidentally go too far because the character moved very fast with very little input, so I overshot the borders of the platforms a few times. Overall, though, great work!
Theme: Not a horror, but a really good puzzle game
Fun: Enjoyed the puzzles, really well made and good tutorials
Game Design: Very solid, knew what it wanted and realised it well
Even tho it is sort, i like i like its pixel artstyle!
Thank you very much! I was a bit pressed for time, because I was learning sound stuff for the first time, so there was rather few levels. But now that he jam got extended, I could add few more. Do you think the mechanics are good enough to carry few more levels?
Yeah! I believe the mechanics are just right.
