Ah, bummer! Sorry you didn't make it in time for the jam - But I played from your supplied link, and it's not bad, I hope to see it developed further! Thanks for sharing what you did get done. I also love the thumbnail art :)

And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would love any feedback, thanks!

Not a bad game, I wish you could make it in time for the jam :( 

I like your light effects. I got lost multiple times :D

Developer

loved your game btw

I couldn't finish the game because I kept on getting lost, but the game mechanic is pretty cool. 

Lights on = you can see the way, but the enemies will home in on you. 

Lights off = The enemies won't attack you, and you're invincible, but you won't be able to see where you're going.

I am currently working on an easy mode overhaul with more arrows and less crawlers

Oh God, it had to be spiders. I don't have a particular phobia of insects in reality, but realistic-ish small-sized insects as enemies in video games get to me. There was this time I pulled my leg while playing Minecraft after encountering silverfish in a mountain biome for the first time 😨

The spiders seem a bit fast, especially considering that a lot of them approach from the direction you're walking in. I found this quite difficult, even on the easy mode!

It's a shame it's not in the jam, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Good work!

The only feedback I have pertains to the movement mechanics. Currently, if the player presses both S and D simultaneously, the character only moves in one direction. Addressing this issue could significantly enhance the gameplay experience.

I like the shadow effect a lot, if that was possible to do using the 3d extension it would be good for a horror game

Developer

i agree
