delightful little game :) i loved the puzzles (even if it felt like i just had to kind wait sometimes) and the idea is super fun and executed really well. i also like how " you are not alone" has a kind of double meaning!
The music was great, and i really liked how it shifted into a darker tune as the eyest started opening though i'll say the first tune did get a little repetive after a couple loops but it wasnt like sohorrible i couldnt play or anything. also the music and sound effects were fairly quiet.my favourite tune was the ending tune its just so cute and has great vibes :) i'd love if the music was available for download just to listen to!
the graphics are delightful. I love the two bunny characters and the dungeon assets, picture for the submission and the end screen are also delightfully made. All in all just a delightful game i had a ton of fun with

How does you game fit the theme?
In this game, you find a partner who's also lost in the dungeon with you. Instead of just going through the platformer yourself, you are now attached to a character that you have to guide through the dungeon using a rope. You are no longer alone, and have to dedicate your time to helping someone else get through with you. There are also eyes/entities watching you, and have to hide from them.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all my teammates and I created our art, code, and audio ourselves from scratch for this jam.

Thanks for playing the game! Hopefully we'll get the chance to improve our puzzles in the future and add more variety. I wanted to let you know that our Audio Producer has posted the soundtrack to their soundcloud if you'd like to take a listen! Its linked within their name (CocoaBeanz) in the game desc
really nice and solid art, i love the animation but i find the parallax effect on walls is weird except you trying to capture a giant building but more on that i think this one is a cool game :D
Amazing game! Beautiful art and animation. Love the smooth running. And music and sound are great!
Gotta say those big eyes are really scary!
Quite nice, the graphics are decent, and the mechanics work nicely. The music gaining more layers as you progress is a very nice touch.
Admittedly it was a bit awkward at first cuz i was using WASD and had to hold Z to pull the companion closer but then realised i can use arrow keys. Also the lack of any sort of death animation on contact with spikes is a bit jarring but eh.
Overall quite a good job!
Cute art style, chilling audio and music, great puzzles and game mechanic. All these things blend together to make an experience that greatly satisfy the theme. I never tought I would care so much for some bun buns. Well done, altough I was very sad when i pressed 'Esc' and the game simply closed.
Wow! This game was so fun!I genuinely felt panic when the eyes were about to open and I would just run for dear life. The art, music and sound effects all work together to make this game so atmospheric.Great job to all who worked this game!
Excellent polished graphics, with a very nice artstyle and oppressive atmosphere. Innovative gameplay concept that you could definitely expand on past the jam. A great jamgame that you should be proud of.
Fun, fun, fun!
Aside from the excellent character design and artwork that deserve recognition, the background graphics blend super well and honestly just look super polished. Great job!
More so, I appreciated the seamless instructional gameplay that feeds into the player's understanding of how to correctly pick up, learn, and immediately enjoy the game mechanics. The game loop itself is super fun and also tense and nerve-wracking -- that's not an easy balance to pull off. Kudos!
Overall, this game just has so much going for it out of the gate. I look forward to future projects from this team!
P.S. The aesthetic was great; cute and scary go well together! If you don't mind, I'd super appreciate if you played and rated my team's game for this jam.
Wow thank you for this really thoughtful response! This was our first time working together and it was such a blast trying to pull this off, so your feedback! <3 Some of us would love to expand on this game in the future thanks to everybody's kind encouragement.
(I personally played your game and had so much fun with it, so I really appreciate you taking the time to enjoy ours too! :D I look forward to more games from your team as well <3)
I liked the art and gameplay for this! adding the eyes was a great touch, it was kinda scary trying to avoid them! My only nitpick is that I really wish the touch the bunny was holding emitted light! But that's so minor. :) Great job!
Really great! Mechanics are awesome, a lot of them actually. Animations also are so nice.
I really liked the fear factor the eyes and its sound effects made together.
Really well done! I loved the scary atmosphere and how the music slowly got more ominous once the eyes were about to show! Never actually got caught by the eyes and don't really wanna find out what happens haha. Great characters as well. Really good job!
