Really digging the art.

I love the pixel art!

If there's one thing I could complain about, its the fact that the camera makes it quite difficult to see where you're going because it trails behind. It makes it too easy to accidentally walk into those death points, resetting your progress.

glad that you liked the pixel art. Also sorry for the inconvenience of the camera I’ll try and make it a bit better soon

Nice! I like the dark setting and sound effects! I saw your other comment and it's still alright that you produced this even if you were late for the Jam!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. At least I made something playable :)

The use of the walking sound effects and lighting worked great for building some tension.  I wasn't sure if I did something wrong but it seemed to end rather abruptly?  I see we used the same artist's asset pack for our characters :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah sorry for abrupt ending, but as I joined with only a few days left on the clock I didn’t have much time to add other things. Also I recognised the character on the icon of your game so I decided to rate it first :)

Cool character, nice animation. The lighting works well to create a scary landscape even if there isn't all that much there.

This game would need more variety and depth to really take off.

Developer(+1)

Yeah as I joined the jam with only a few days left I didn’t have much time to add more features, depth and unique mechanics. Anyways thanks for the feedback!

Overall fun little game! I think a little bit more scenery in the environments would have gone a long way in making the space station more scary, but the notes and the puzzles were great!

Developer

Yeah your right if I had more time I should have added a bit more scenery to keep it from feeling empty and not as scary
