This was a cool horror game based on a Twilight and TVD crossover. I enjoyed playing through the game where there was a good storyline and proper game mechanisms involved in the game. I liked the idea of the 2 characters having to switch over when one of them faints/dies as it makes the game more interesting and fun. The ending was quite unfortunate and heartbreaking but it was well-executed. Would be cool if Edward had wrinkles and white hair too to show the aging process.

A memorable and enjoyable experience. The stripped down nature of a jam game let me enjoy the core of the game without too many distractions. I wish instead of greenery, the scenery used had been of a darker tint, enhancing the melancholic design of the narrative and the music.

Welcome To HellHi! I've enjoyed playing! I almost killed the final boss... but not XD
Good intro and very good aesthetics!
Problems I've seen: Character runs too fast. I died a lot of times because I've collided with the boss. With dash button is no necessary to walk too fast.
I miss sound effects and there is not any animation when I receive damage. So, without animation and without sound effects sometimes I don't feel that I've received damage.
Anyway, good job! :)

Creepy Crow (gamejam)As Dark Souls fans we are always gonna enjoy a good boss fight. As the creator said in a comment, learn the patterns and it becomes much more satisfying. Agree though that audio feedback when damage is taken would make a big difference, and got to say- why is Edward ginger?

ParasitosisHad the same problem as the others on this, found the final boss quite difficult. I don't think the control scheme suited my hand very well, found using space bar to attack while moving and dashing quite uncomfortable.
I found I was taking damage a lot without really noticing (think adding a sound on taking damage might have solved that one).
The music was really crackily too, though I haven't seen any other comments saying that so that may just be me.
All in all a solid concept, but a few small changes would've really improved it for me. Nice work regardless!

MalfunctionI really upped the bar on Bonnie, didn't I!!? I should learn controlling the difficulty curve better.
Regarding the control scheme, I wanted four for movement (WSAD and Arrow Keys). One for Attack, and other for Dash, and another for Interact. And UI used ENTER and ESCAPE also. What do you think would be a better key configuration for the game?
I added Music at the very last moment without any thought or logic. The music is glitchy at my side too, I only noticed that after the submission, and couldn't figure out any way to remedy that.
I didn't have any time to put in the sounds, which really blew the game bad. The sounds, screen shakes and smooth transitions between levels would've helped the game a lot.
Thank you! Did you complete the final boss?
Nice little top down adventure! Last boss was a bit tedious, so didn't finish the game :(

Going DownI liked the game, it has a good story and art style. However it wasn't really horror related in my opinion.
