The face animations are fantastic! Nice work on the art.

good game. love the character design . but to hard in the first minute 

Submitted(+1)

I like the presentation, but I found it pretty hard to play on a laptop mousepad because the speed of mouse control required. The sleep concept is really interesting though.

The darkness was a bit too much, I replayed the levels couple of times to understand the enemy patterns, Maybe the light source could have been a little bigger. 


Anyways the atmosphere was really good and love the dark aesthetic you were going for. :D

What a great premise! I did find the barrage of enemies during the sleep a little overwhelming especially how one touch can end the game. Still, the gameplay was intuitive and engaging!

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting and clever, great job!

Submitted

This was genuinely pretty spooky, those enemies really come on fast when you're asleep. Maybe when you're awake, you could get a chance to set up defenses of some kind to help during the sleepy periods (obstacles enemies must move around, things that kill an enemy that runs into it, etc)? Could really help when it gets more intense.

Kind of hard but it's a really cool idea!

Submitted

The one hit KO is a bit unforgiving, especially since enemies seem to come out of nowhere. A bit more time to react to enemies would be great. BUT I love the concept. Attributing the 'out of control' theme to the mind is a great use of the theme. Good job!

Amazing atmosphere, and great concept. The enemies come a little quickly, and the low visibility makes that extra difficult, but it's a fantastic idea.

Mobs are very hard to see when behind the pillar but i liked the general vibe and feeling of the game.

Good job!

The atmosphere of the game is spot on! However I just wish it had more visual and audio feedback to supplement the main mechanics of the game: periodically falling asleep and killing enemies.

I tottally agree with you.  Thank you for your review. 

Submitted

Well polished, nice atmosphere too!

Developer

Thank you, you wont believe this, but at first i wanted to make a game with the same idea is you! I ll check soon, what u did.

Submitted

lol nice

Submitted

Great atmosphere. The game feels very polished. Good job!

I would appreciate it if you'll have time to check out my game.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, i ll check your game in a moment.

Submitted

Oh this is super frustrating, I die in like a second from monsters I can't see because they just barely come in from the covered side of the screen.

If the game is too hard for you, check out videoplaythrough on games page. I know that game needs more balancing, but a regular player finished it with a 4th attempt. But,hey, i tottaly understand your frustrations, if I could, I would make the game more accessible to all levels of players, but now its too late and  I'm sorry. I ll check your game soon.

Submitted

The overall atmosphere is really nice, reminds me of pinstripes a bit! It could be cool if there were different types of enemies, so you woudln't have to simply spam click everywhere to stay alive! 

Developer(+1)

I totally agree with you. I also wanted to make more characters (like the rabbit one), but I've spent too much time drawing and I'm very sorry that I couldn't provide a normal amount of content.  I will check out your game soon.

Submitted

Don't worry about it! It's totally normal for a jam!

Submitted(+1)

Nice idea, the art and the mood was on point!

Developer

thank you for your time! I will rate your game too, just a moment.

Submitted(+1)

Spooky concept. The feeling of helplessness from the narcolepsy is definitely a cool theme. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool and orginal concept, nice art style, but lacks polish, also you could work on balancing

Submitted(+1)

I like the spooky art style and the idea that you incorporated into the game. 

It was original, and I think could make an interesting scary game. I really liked the art, as it was a somehow cute and scary looking style, making it very original. 

I think it would have been good if you could have incorporated a reason that the mouse kills the enemies, and sometimes I would fall asleep behind a tree. I couldn't fight off the monsters, so I had to restart. 

Overall, I think it has a lot of potential for a spooky 2D horror game.

If you don't mind, I would appreciate if you could look at my game. (:

Ofcourse i will checkout your game. Thx for your comments, yeah, i also was thinkig about explanation why we can kill monsters with a mouse. But i guess when hero falls a sleep player becomes somekind of angel-guardian. Anyway thanks for comment, ill check your game soon.
