This is a nice game! I thought it was very creative, although it was a bit slow at times.

How does you game fit the theme?
The enemies are just part of your dream... they aren't real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

I really like the concept ! The idea is really nice and the art is gorgeous. The character is a bit too fast, making it ridiculously hard to control when the fear bar is full. Just a bit of polishing needed, but that's a solid entry. Congratulations ^^ !
The fear mechanic is a cool concept!
I feel the movement got a bit out of hand when I gained some fear though. Think an improvement would be to have the character accelerate some before reaching max speed, that way the player can have more precise control when needed.
Also the background was a bit confusing and I had hard time sometimes to see which platforms were real.
I love the fear mechanic! I initially was scared to stand next to the enemy, which is incredibly ironic lol.
Would be cool to have fear scale higher if you're closer to an enemy. That way, if the player wants fear they can force it to be super high. But if they don't want fear and they stay away from enemies, you can still maintain a separate fear rate for balancing reasons.
Also, the main character felt really dynamic, especially with fear active. This felt super great after playing a zillion platformers in the jam where playing the characters felt like swimming through syrup.
Cool game!
Check out mine if you're interested :D
nice game man, but fear bar filling time takes to much time lol( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)
I absolutely loved this game, it's such a smart and well build game!
Nice game, rated it. Pls check out my game if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
Not able to rate this one, sorry. I opened up the game and the resolution in the game didn't match the screen. I clicked Controls and I was not able to get back to the title screen.
The graphics and the music are great! The controls felt a bit heavy and clunky to use but the mechanic of gaining speed through the fear meter is very good. Something I wanted to see was how much fear I can accumulate. I usually couldn't tell if I have the fear meter up to half or if it is near full.
Very cool game. The level design is excellent and I always knew where to go and how to get there. I think that the character controller could have benefited from being a bit floatier because once your fear goes up it is almost impossible to control. I feel like there were maybe a few too many mechanics as well that weren't necessary (turning off the torch and eating food to reduce fear) although I do think that all of the mechanics were introduced to the player very well. Overall, the graphics and audio were great and I had fun playing your game. Great job!
