Oh this is so cool! What a great idea of stopping the enemies with your flashlight. I like the pixel art and it was so fun to deal with the chairs! :)

Really cool idea. A small victory screen would be nice to have, since now it is hard to know that you actually finished the game. Given that you only had 48h hours to work on this game, you were able to put together something very nice for this game jam! Good job!

Interesting mechanics. I wish the light was a little bigger though.

I never thought I would see the day when I would be afraid of being chased by a chair.

I got scared by two chairs, ha-ha. Really nice art and game in general. It would have been great if the player movement was a little bit faster. The theme is not really there but you managed to pull of a pretty nice game so great job!

I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^

The concept is interesting ! Good atmosphere and good idea ! The player is a bit slow, and I feel like the character's hitbox is a bit big, but that's a nice prototype for a more complete game =). Good job !

I actually just played another game in this jam about the same topic (though that one you used a gun instead of a light to fight them off). I think it's a fun take on the theme and enjoyed playing through this. My biggest critique is that doors are really hard to see.

Would you mind reviewing my game? (sorry I don't have a web version)

Wish y'all had more time to flesh this idea out! It was fun while it lasted!

Getting hunted by furniture is certainly something I didn't expect. Interesting atmosphere. Very short, sadly.

An interesting idea of the game, the graphics are not bad, I liked it! I hope you will also appreciate my game

Fun concept that you could do a lot more with! Goodjob. Would have like movement speed to be slightly faster

The concept of this game was pretty cool. Could have done with a little more warning after picking up the first key. If you don't know that the furniture comes to life then you don't have much time to react. Took me a couple of tries before I knew what was going on. Otherwise, it was well done. The light mechanic worked really well and you created the perfect spooky atmosphere. Not too sure how well it fits the theme though. Those chairs seemed pretty real to me.

Hilarious game! xD
