Very cool! The boogeyman didn't seem so scary at first, but when he found me I changed my mind)

Blood PipeHey Nezumirra!
Took a couple tries, but I finally made it through without dying or losing all my candy! Very nice little succinct experience and the fact that you did it in a new engine is really cool!
A couple notes after playing:
- Like others have said, it would definitely be helpful to have some indication of where the hiding spots are with some sort of glowing effect (totally understand with the time limitation though that it might not have been possible) Just something to think about if you continue developing the game.
- Definitely some sort of indication as to where the monster might go because right now it feels super random but then there were times where I was like he is definitely gonna go there again (and he did)
What I liked:
- Audio was great! The main music was a lot of fun to listen to. I just sat there for a bit listening to the loop chillin. The sound for a new night was creepy, the boogeyman enter music was so stressful, and the boogeyman scream definitely got me the first time haha
- The visual style is really fun! I think the textures and models all worked great together. I am not sure how gdevelop lighting works but it would have been nice to make things a bit spookier and dark as the boogeyman enters. Just as a little side note if you continue.
- It was a very concise and well scoped project! Seems like you got your core game loops down

Esotericawow!! thank you so much for such detailed notes!! This is my first published and complete game so getting this much feedback is really really appreciated!
Clarity to the user is something I want to improve on, so I'll definitely be taking your feedback into account when I fix up the game after the voting period. I'm glad you enjoyed it overall π
My pleasure! I figure note quality is better than note quantity, so I am just getting through as many games as I can while keeping up the detailed notes. Also, cheers to that! The submission I posted for the jam was also my first -- it's nice hearing people's feedback on what can be improved. Always something new to learn :D
Great concept with very creepy sounds! I'd recommend adding some form of highlighting to show where the potential hiding spots are. And maybe some sort of meter to indicate how likely the boogeyman is to find things? But overall, great work for a first jam!

Life's a Witch (Then you Pie) v 1.3Simple and spooky. The first time the boogeyman audio came on made me jump. Well done!

ExtinguishedNice! I really enjoyed the 3d models and the boogeyman was pretty good looking. On top of that this being your first Gdevelop game is pretty impressive (I use Gdevelop quite a bit). So a very good entry overall.

DestinedDeedsNice, classic horror visuals, really liked that one. Tha candy hiding mechanics doesn't affects anything as I see, it's purely luck based, that were the boogeyman goes. Nice atmosphere, liked the little story in it. GG.

The LighthouseAmazing game, The model of the boogey man is disturbing yet so artistic, Nice job

Mantable: Doll HouseFun game and a cool concept enjoyed having to strategize where I thought it would go next and place not only myself but the candy accordingly. Nice model for the boogeyman when it looks at you and charges to your location definitely feels like its going to eat you. One thing that would make it look a bit cooler would be if the lights went dim like nighttime has fallen when the boogeyman enters the room. Would definitely increase the fear and spooky factor of it. Had fun playing it nicely done.
