Very creative game

Fun game but I would recommend adding the objective somewhere in the game

I was a bit confused on how the game works. Well done nonetheless

Cool game, though as already mentioned in the other comments, I too was confused how to control the character, nor do I know the objective. Is scaring the human winning the game or is it another way to loose, it isn’t communicated clearly enough IMO.

I also found the X button on the afraid/dead screen confusing as it just switched back and forth between pause and the previous menu. And the fly button sometimes didn’t react at all or acted in a way I didn’t expect, which was quite confusing. Other then that, looks good and the fear mechanic works nicely!

Nice game, it was fun to run around

Nice little game. Would be great if it was converted into 3d and expanded upon after the jam. Great work!

I think this could be a cool sort of stealth game if you expanded it after the jam! It might be cool if the human got a big immediate fear boost if you got closer to them without being detected before revealing yourself. And on a completely unrelated note, I've been getting a ton of wood roaches in my house recently, so this game hits close to home.

expecting a butterfly, get a cockroach. I like the twist, feels like a true scared-by-cockroach experience.

What a cute concept and interesting take on the gamejam theme :D Well done!

Very simple, but efficient! I like that the jump is immediate, leaving just a trail behind you. It's also interesting that to win, you have to take risk and get close to the threat. I think the game would need more audio and feedback to really feel juiciy. But as it is it's a short and enjoyable game. Well done!

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in the game, but I like the idea and the little trail that the player character leaves behind as they move looks good

It's an interesting concept but I'm not entirely sure what the objective of the game is.

Submitted(+1)

Cool idea, but the objective of the game could be made a bit clearer.  Other than that, well done! The fear mechanic definitely has a lot of potential if you plan to do a post-jam version.

I like the concept, but sadly I don't know what I'm supposed to do :( it's not that obvious and I'm just flying around 

Submitted(+1)

I was a bit confused with the objective and control at first, some tutorial would be nice. But interesting concept!

Submitted(+1)

It took some time for me to realize what was going on, but then it becomes an interesting game about scaring a person but not too much. Although i think this game really needed some audio cues

very tasty

I liked the idea of making sure you don't get caught! It wasn't immediately clear what as expected though. The fear bar also fills very slowly. Fun game overall!
