Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made most of the code, aside from a little bit from tutorials. All of the assets are made from scratch, except for some fonts I have the right to.

Pretty fun game! I liked the retro pixelart

I think swapping the white square with a cute little character would really add to it ;D

Would be cool if you checked out my game as well :)

Developer

Yeah, I wanted to, but everything else in the game had no animations, and I've never worked with animations before, so adding them for the character would take more time than I figured it was worth. I tried a few animation-less characters, but none of them looked right. I'd love to make a little watchmaker holding a lantern in a cloak, but I'm also REALLY bad at people in pixel art.

I like this take on the theme. A big highlight for me was the responsive soundtrack (getting more intense as the music boxes ran down). Main suggestion is to introduce some mechanics earlier (the box and buttons came a little late imo). Enjoyed the game :)

This entry's pretty good. Very retro, simple mechanics. My only problem was the music looping weirdly, but overall, this game is pretty well made! Congrats!

Fun game, good job!

Cool game! The music really sets the mood and the jump scares are quite fun :)

Submitted

Good game.

Nice, The mood was really on point with the music and graphics! One suggestion I have is to make the jump scares do more than just slow the player, maybe lower the player health and restart when the player dies.

Had fun playing it, I like the theme and how it keeps you on your toes. Some suggestions would be making the parasite sound and effect less intense (rip headphones users), and that the jump is way faster sideways than the actual movement so 1. it's not consistent, cannot get use to the speed of either or 2. makes me jump non stop since I move faster.

You got me. It keeps you very entertained!

The game has great atmosphere and great use of the theme! I didn't get far because of the jumpscare though, I just can't handle that sort of thing. It was difficult to even see the ghost because of the dim lighting, but I'm guessing that was intentional.

I like the art! But can you add an epilipsy warning (atleast in the title) since you have flashing lights. c: I reached level 5.

Developer

I did add an epilepsy warning. Concerning that it didn't show...

Anyway, if you did want to get further, but couldn't beat level 5, you can always skip to level 6 in the level select screen!
