The visuals are creepy, the sound is well done, the snout is bumbled. I do feel bad that we seem to be the villains here. But regardless, I had fun, I played through quite a few times before I was able to win. I had a couple panicked moment where I just kicked a couple eggs about instead of picking them up. My only complaint is that I do prefer for my words to be legible. The blurring and shaking was less scary and more frustrating, but that's not a huge deal since it only really had to do with the start and end of the game.

So simple and effective. I was on the edge of my seat running for the doorway. The model, movements, and sound made the character feel so alive and threatening with just the footsteps and minimal sound effects. One thing I can say, the ending flashed quickly before I read the last line. I was too busy breathing a sigh of relief and the ending flashed away. Other than that, great submission!

CharlamagneThings I learned about the Bumblesnout (snoutoris bumbleforii) whilst playing this game:
- The Bumblesnout prefers a habitat of cold, damp, dark areas, such as caves or basements.
- The Bumblesnout is a monotreme (egg-laying mammal) due to also having a pair of breasts.
- The Bumblesnout is particularly aggressive and defensive when their eggs are threatened.
- The Bumblesnout has enlarged muscles which means their movement causes painful spasms.
- The Bumblesnout is watching and waiting for you to make a mistake.
- The Bumblesnout is capable of tearing through flesh and bone.
Thanks for submitting The Bumblesnout to the SCREAM MACHINE game jam!
