How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
It uses a static color palette of only four colors. All sounds and music made with a gameboy VST that emulates the hardware sound. Controls are 4 buttons (A, B, Start, Select) plus a D-Pad. As for the spooky theme, I chose a color palette that was halloween-y and tried to incorporate horror near the end of the game as a unexpected feature of sorts. The music is also a bit spooky, but thats just the nature of soviet style folk songs. The game also takes place during Halloween (October 31st), although the game shifts the focus to different traditions that are celebrated by other cultures. The monster designs are also pretty spooky, created with the glory of the Gameboy's limited color palette.

I liked the heartwarming ending.
The shift in focus to Slavic tradition was welcome, too.
I liked it.
Nice mini-games! It reminds me of old Game Boy games.
Wow! That last level... I was really spooked!
This is really great. I loved how the little minigames were fun and lighthearted and then the last level gave me a big whiplash! Those monster sprites are really well done! The fact that you can only see parts of the monsters while wearing the mask combined with the sound effects for the monster screams worked really well in exuding spookiness! And I love the weaving of culture and tradition in this game! Fantastic work!
Nice and polished games (loved the vibes of the last one, and how it tied to a previous minigame), also learned a bit of culture, that's always welcome.
Very cool entry, congrats!
Instant 5 za muzykę, po tym jak moja kobieta wbiła do pokoju "CZY HEJ SOKOŁY JEST W GRZE?!? i zaczeła tańczyć" :D
Great series of mini games based on traditions, really love the concept and the music is INSANE. Love how this is created. Also making MASK easy and hard was cool option to adjust for everyone. Awesome concept!
Cool game! it reminds me of Wario Ware mini games a bit. I think the candle level needs a bit more balancing work though. Overall, good job!
This set of games certainly makes my dziady absolutely skafrane! The orange palette only adds to the atmosphere.
I just wish the room would brighten up at the end of the candle game.
Fun set of minigames in a general mood of Polish "Dziady" tradition. Lovely "Sokoły" cover as well. Good job!
Hej Sokoły created instant dancing mood in my house when playing it hahaha
