How did you implement the Theme and Special Object?

The ambience and the audio were the best parts about the game. Who would've thought getting haunted and chased by an anvil would be so scary?

This is like 50 unexpected turns condensed into a 3-minute gameplay and it's awesome. It has a quirky feel while still keeping enough horror atmosphere for me to take it a bit seriously as well. The sound design is also nice. Gotta admit that I giggled when the anvil just started moving towards me, I wish more small horror games do things goofy things like this.

Every horror game has a creepy atmosphere, and this game has it too. The creepy music, especially at the end, enhances the atmosphere.

Developer

Thanks! Im glad everyone liked the music.

I really didn't expect to get scared but I was wrong, those falling anvil really scared me and the radio so creepy

Developer

hahahaha Thank you Im glad you got scared :p

Good atmosphere and pacing for a two minute game. Strikes the right balance between creepy and somewhat silly. The movement is a bit janky, but fortunately that doesn't detract from the experience too much.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I will never figure out why the player gets stuck when colliding with another thing I hope it didnt bother you too much. Thanks again!

Good horror game, it could be longer, but has a great ambientation, the music is very creepy and the radio so weird. I liked it.

Developer

Yeah  hahaha the radio thing was the idea of a friend and it ended up in the game. Thank you :)

Really? I think i would get on well with your friend. Haha.

Really liked it actually, atmosphere and overall consistency of the visuals is really good. And for this sort of game thats basically all that matters

Developer

Thank you!!!

I went through your game, fun play style, and the theme of the game, moving the cans is just not convenient, it kind of crashes into you when you hold it in front of you, but so cool!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

I added the pick up mechanic becouse of a friend who said the game was not funny enough and that came to my mind hahah but yes It is not necessary for the game and I didnt code it really well. Thanks for the feedback and for playing :)

Developer

Thank you!!!!
