- Awesome use of the theme. I really liked the camera pans, showing the expension, at that last camera pan on the exit was a nice addition. I liked the mood, I liked the art, the game was fun, challenging, but not too hard level design. Those different camera angles were great. The music was good. If I had one nit pick it would be the sound effect, it was a bit lacking in that department, also at teh beginning I would change camera angle with only fog around and couldnt really tell where I was. Cool game !

This was a super fun game to play! I loved the art/models(especially how you mixed pixel art for the fire fly and the 3D models is just so interesting) as well as the gameplay of it!
Also, the music matched so well with the foggy environment!
Yay I made it home!
Love this interpretation of the theme. I like the effect of the fog that scales with the amount of fireflies and the detail that you're not forced to collect a certain amount. The implementation of the camera angles changing is also done well and immediately stood out. Music matches the vibe well. Overall very polished & I had fun. Excellent work!
Fun
Resident Evil meets Pac Man! It's such a cute, fun game. I found myself engaged with trying to figure out how to get around the monsters. The static camera angles provided an extra level of challenge.
Yeah, those two games were kind of the biggest inspirations behind this. Thanks for playing!
insane music and fun gameplay good job
Fun little game! The graphics look good and the music works well with the fog to make it more mysterious. The camera changing to different positions and angles mixed with following at some parts is really interesting. Like one of those older games. Though I think it changes a bit too often when near the enemies.
I really like the litle firefly sprites. They look really cool!
Fun game! I think the camera could've used a bit of iteration (maybe a smoother transition between angles, maybe a grace period where enemies didn't move, maybe some tweaked placements), but it really sets the presentation apart. Immaculate vibes overall
Thanks for commenting! The object and camera placements are a bit unrefined since they were some of the last things I was working on.
The music makes this game so mysterious and retro, and the PSX vibes really sell the atmosphere. I've said it before, but the fixed camera angles really did it for me. You've inspired me to try something in 3D next.
Thanks, I'm glad people seem to like the fixed camera!
Ainsley made it safely home!
Such a great take on the theme! It's all very cute and poetic, I would have played many more levels set in different environments. There is potential for expansion, like to gather and lead lost kids, find hidden collectables, etc... But even as it is right now, your game already feels complete and polished. Great work!
Thanks for playing! I was planning on having the level be larger, but I ended up cutting it down due to time constraints.
cool concept!
Expanding the fog to explore was a cool idea and the music was a nice background which reminded me of classic rpg games.
awesome work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
