Cool game! The aesthetics manage to walk the line between cute, but also creepy since there are so many eyes. Simple style, but great execution :) The story was well done, as were the sounds (although occasionally the sound would cut out and just be mute for 30 seconds or so), and sometimes near ledges the kid could double jump. Other than that, the game feels very polished. Nice work :D
Cute games! And the puzzles are great too. I love those sound effects in different monsters . However I failed to finish it because area 2 is quite hard for me. It is hard for me to deal with those two balls and the bullets. My reaction is tooooo slow :(
The game is cute and has a nice music! It feels smooth to play, good puzzle and a fitting atmosphere. I'm not a fan of platformers but I enjoyed this one. Nice job!
I enjoyed this, it looked good and played good too. I wish some of the puzzles allowed for the boxes you needed to use to solve them to be destroyed and respawned if you messed the puzzle up but that it really only a minor issue.
I enjoyed the graphics and music, and the sound effects were spot on. The story and NES-style intro cutscene were well-done, and the game was pretty flawlessly put together. My only issues were that the jump seemed a little floaty, and sometimes if you fall and try to jump again immediately you only do a tiny hop. More than once this made me accidentally jump straight into a hole. Apart from that, I really liked it. I think my favorite things were the creepy monochrome background art contrasted with the cute pastel colors of the main character.
Nice work, solid platform horror. I enjoyed the monster growls and the smacking sound the pits made. Safety blanket ftw!
There's some really cool ideas in here! I really liked both the hiding mechanic and the puzzles where you needed the enemies to push the box for you. The art style is really good too. I like how the character's style didn't quite match the rest of the world, which makes sense thematically.
Only real complaint I had was how floaty the jump felt. I would have trouble going up small steps if I wasn't holding the jump button down every time.
Overall really good game! It's pretty lengthy too, though that might be because I failed a lot lol. Good job!
Nice game! The pixel art works very well with the sound, and the puzzles were nicely done.
The game has nice pixel art and very well thought out puzzles. It's a little harsh to look at with the white and black colors while moving. Some kind of tearing / blur that makes me a bit nauseous. Well done on this game however!
Really nice artwork, the restricted dark colour palette to make the levels feel really eerie. The music is great, the idea for nightlight checkpoints is very smart and I especially liked the creepy eye animations from the pit monsters and their gross blinking noises - Yuck!
