Great job on this one!! This one felt genuinely unsettling, which is tough to pull off on a Gameboy aesthetic! I got to the end with a TV static screen and wasn't sure what to do to progress further. I assume there's something I'm missing if there's two more pets to unlock?

Very spooky! I am not sure how to unlock the other pets though. Lovely art.

love the little ddr minigame, also very unsettling vibes

Very creepy and well made.
I think I got stuck on a static screen, not sure if that was intentional.

Great work, this one's fun, it's impressive you got DDR in there too, and the spookiness is perfection, genuinely unsettling, well done :)

That was cool! The art is charming and the mechanics are competent. The expressions and art in the second half are unnerving!

Some of the sound effects are a smidgen loud.

All-in-all, good work!

Definitely, the second theme is really standing out here. Visually, everything is very well animated and everything related to the audio helps to give it a creepypasta vibe.

The music minigame could be better. The notes don’t match the rhythm of the music, which threw me off a bit. I’m not sure if it was supposed to stop there, but when the screen had a TV static effect, imitating noise, I couldn’t do anything else, and the game didn’t progress even after waiting for a while, so I considered it an ending. Because of this screen, a warning for those with photosensitivity would be good, as it involves very rapid flashing images, even if it’s just noise.

So so good! Perfect mix of charming and unsettling, love the slow degeneration as the game goes on.

Art style is a fitting blend of cute and unsettling, particularly loved the opening cutscene and the creepy lighting effect towards the end of the game. Missed a couple of points on the minigame because I was enjoying the dancing too much!

That was... unusual :D I'm not sure I finished it because in the end I got stuck in static without a real conclusion and had to reset. Excellent entry, even though this is definitely not something I could imagine being on a Game Boy :P

Whoa, that was an experience. Definitely a creepy little pet and took a turn for horror at the end. Also not often you get to play DDR in a gamejam. Great job!

I loved this! The minigame was fun. It was all very spooky, you did an amazing job on that!!

Submitted

Is strange how adorable and creepy this is!!!! Great job!!!

Submitted

Woah, this is fantastic! The glitch effects with the jumpscares and sound effects really give off an unsettling vibe, especially with the boarding of the door and windows as the game progressed. If I played this game as a kid I would have been really spooked. The virtual pet aspect was also well done.

Awesome job!

Very creepy! I loved it, such a cute start and the dance mini-game really nail the virtual pet aspect and the glitch-graphics are amazing!

Definitely the most spooky game of the jam I've played yet even though it starts out super cute. Is the game supposed to end in that noisy screen? I've tried multiple times and that's always where I end up and nothing seems to happen. Anyway, great job!
