Very great use of what I think is the sprite mask! Wanna check mine out it's my first one!

It is a clever interpretation of the theme. Seeing all the feedbacks already done I would avoid to duplicate them. I just want to say that i love the way the hat of the character hops when he jumps :-)

Quality pixels from the Brackey's Team - great entry!

Great game, Enjoyed it!

Finally I am able to rate a game of the man who started off my game development journey. Your videos are the best. 

So, now to the game. It's good, but not great. I have a lot of points that could improve the game, but let's start with the good points. I think you the theme is very well executed and the game is really lying a lot to you. I would also say that the game is innovative although it is somehow similar to the dreadful whispers from which you might have taken the reveal idea.

Now to the points that need some improvements:

• The first thing I'm not ok with is the camera, as some have already mentioned. The part where you have to jump to the left two times is really tough with the constant moving camera. My solution for that would be having a normal camera controller that follows the player and adding a moving death zone with the speed of the current camera. This would mean that the player can run ahead and check the area and also can go back easily if he run ahead of the death zone before.
• You already should have found out that there is the bug that you can just hold down left mouse button and have the reveal area always active :D But I also think that it does somehow not feel right with the power bar. No idea how to make it better, sorry.
• Checkpoints. This game should have checkpoints. Going through the first part over and over and over again is really annoying. Especially if you die to a stupid mistake early on. Maybe 2 or 3 checkpoints would have been nice.
• I appreciate it that you did your graphics by yourself, but they are not really good and somehow, let's call it, inspired by super mario.
• What is the point in collecting the coins? Other than them tricking you into running into spikes :D

I think that's it. I hope my feedback helps you improve this game or make future games better.

Maybe you find the time to checkout our game. Would really love to get feedback from you.

That was great! Really original, I found myself memorizing the levels to save my "investigation" time. Great job, had a lot of fun with it. Please check out our graphic adventure game too if you can : )

The reveal mechanic was intuitive and very easy to use, and Detective Truth is adorable. I love his hat wobble when he jumps.

The reveal circle isn't forced off when you run out of juice for it, allowing you to hold down the mouse button forever with no consequence. I also found the screen scroll speed to be a little too unforgiving.

Definitely follows the theme very well!

Nice brakeys ;)

really creative mechanic, the gameplay reminded me of the flash games I played as a kid

Nice game with a nice classic art style!  Very cool and pretty original game mechanic.

Cool game, but the visual style looks boring. But, the exact hit on the theme

Very creative game! I love the hidden mechanic, and I died waaaay too much

Hi, great job. I really like your game, lot of fun. And also this w to jump freak me out LOL.

I like this retro arts. Sometime I had the feeling to play a Infogram game, if you remember.

Take the time to check mine, there is a lot of references in the text and gameplay from other times, movies, web culture and literature,... Hope you will have fun!

Great game! This looks to me a mix of "The Dreadful Whispers" and "Cat Mario". Now I'm waiting for that "making of" video :)

Awesome game man! Can you rate mine: https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476877
BTW I am watching you since 2017. I learned everything from you!

Nice work ! it's very difficult to jump with top arrow but it's because i'm bad at platformer's game.
