pretty gory game!
I'm glad you liked it! I went all out with the gory pixel art ππ
Great game, I liked the brutal pixel art, and the ending of the story, where you die was a nice twist.
Thank you so much, I'm so happy you liked it! π
I really liked this, a unique style and idea also felt really polished for a jam game
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me since I always believe in quality over quantity and tried to make the best short game I could, rather than a long but lower quality game π
Brutal! Bloody! Found the secret weapon too :)
I'm so happy to hear that! I wasn't sure how many people would find it π
LOL I love the art style, I am partial to this look. this guy doesn't mess around. unfortunately, it ran very slow for me
I'm glad you liked it! I'm sorry to hear that it ran slow for you, do you know what specs you have? That could help me figure out why it ran so slow for you.
Jfc this hits hard. Great animations and sound design. Made really powerful by forcing the player to push the buttons to continue the animations, rather than just one button kills. I feel like I need a shower. Awesome work.
This was said so perfectly and captures exactly what I was going for when making this game! Thank you so much π€©
Very brutal pixel art, well done. The atmosphere was great and the game has good transitions.
Found the thumbtacks too, nice touch there.
Great submission!
I think you're the first person to find the secret weapon π
I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed the brutal pixel art killing. Nice classic story. Quite enjoyed it. Ottimo lavoro, Stefano.
Thank you so much, hearing that means so much to me from you! π€©
Like the art and sound design. Good job.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it π
Nice visuals and sound. Good horror elements. GG.
Thank you so much πGG
This is gonna haunt me at night. I'm not a big fan of playing a sociopath murderer (even if I play a lot of action RPGs haha), but I must admit this is really well made. The ambiance is on point, sound design is crazy (those violin hits, omg), and animations and visuals are excellent!
And the level design is awesome too! Mechanics are well introduced and used throughout the game. Real ggs!
Thank you so much, this all really means so much to me!π₯Ή

So far I don't think anyone has found the secret yetπ€
If anyone does, let me know what you thinkπ
I felt bad for myself when I had to play as a murderer and killed innocent people to satisfy the murderer's thirst for violence and revenge.
Anyways, I liked the game, even though the game was moving at a slow pace.
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it π
Violent and scary game!
Try my game, it has the same vantage point and a flashlight, but you have to find it! :-)

Digging it. Nice little game. Could use some polish, but it feels fine for a jam game!
I'm glad you like it! I would've done more, but there is only so much one dev and a composer can do in a week.π€£
So true! I was in that same boat trying to do my game solo! One week goes so fast when you're by yourself and trying to balance a job and life!!! π€£π€£
