The whole game is creepy, horror style and at the end the player Zary wakes up from a dream.

We wrote all of the code except the movement script which was took from one of my old games but we had to modify it by a lot.

Really solid game! Its obvious you really cared about it! The game might need some checkpoints though, I didn't want to start completely over when I died. Overall a really great game!

Developer

Thanks :D

i do indeed agree that checkpoints may have been a great idea!

Cool game, I enjoyed the wall jumps and platforming overall. Also the narrative was interesting. Game needs a little bit more polish, but it is really solid as for a one week game.

Developer

That was a nice experience, loved the simplistic art and the story as you progress, as well the way you credited everyone in the end as part of the game!

Btw idk if the game just didnt have an audio because for me it didnt?

It does have some audio, thanks for the positive feedback :D

Really fun experience! Loved the audio and the gameplay was pretty good! I got stuck a few times, but was able to eventually make my way through the game! Would have loved to have seen checkpoints, but that might be alot for a game jam, so besides that, I had a great time! Loved it!

Developer

Thanks :D

It was a pretty fun game! The controls were a bit funky, and to me i felt like the keys were placed at hard spots of the keyboard to be able to press them all intuitively. Other than that, it was quite fun game! Good job on it!

I had a great time with this game. It was really fun exploring environment and looking for all the buttons. Good job :)

Developer

we are happy you liked the game!

Nice little game, I enjoyed the wall jump mechanic.

But maybe you should have the keys to move on the side where the player falls, its a bit late telling people how to move after making them move over there to see it in the first place :l Also the walking sound goes of when you are moving in the air too, I'm not sure if that was intentional. And maybe add something to allow the player to know he is taking damage. I found myself standing on spikes and the dog for a while without knowing they were actually killing me. 

Great work.

Thank you for your comment, and no the walking SFX in the air was not intentional it was just a bug we didnt have time to fix. Thank you for your tips too and we are glad you enjoyed the game.

I liked cute artstyle and story element! Adding some sound/visual effects when character is damaged would be nice, since I thought enemies and spikes are safe to touch before I noticed hp bar. Also walljump mechanic was a little bit janky, but it was satisfying to perform. Good work :)

Developer

Ty :D

I actually worked on the story/art for the game, but i do agree that it would have been nice to have a sfx for taking damage, & yeah the wall jump isn’t the greatest, but we kinda tried getting all of this together in like 2 days (been working on the game for a week, just really tried putting the level all together between friday & saturday)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cool little game. Was fun for few minutes, the story writing is engaging. I would suggest making the controlls little bit cleaner and with little bit of speed up time because right now it's hard to controll Zary accurately.

Huge plus for sounds as with every Jam game that have some kind of sound design. I would only point out that it's annyoing hearing the steps even when the character is not touching ground.

Anyway 9 / 10 I had quick fun and it works :)

Developer

Thanks for pointing out these issues!

i sadly did actually notice that the walking sound plays off while in mid-air earlier this morning, but i was already heading to the bus & i didn’t have time to fix it since i wasn’t the programmer, but thanks for the rating!

Glad you enjoyed it :D

Cool game well done

Got killed by my head touching a spike as well :(. Got really far too. Nice little game though!

Submitted(+2)

Poor Zary!

Well done! love the narrative! definitely has scary ambiance from the graphics and sounds! 

I wish the collider of Zary is more refined, I got killed by Zary's head touching the spike! but overall It's a well-polished game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I do agree that the collider for the character is slightly odd, since it is a box collider rather than a mess that is around the player’s sprite, but yeah.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks :D
