Well you saw me playing this game on stream so I guess you know how much I enjoyed it :p The voice acting was legit top-notch and it made me laugh quite a few times. As I said maybe multiple endings depending on the amount of gnomes saved could be good. Perhaps the timer could have been a little shorter too, or maybe some additional mechanics added, but maybe that would have made the game too easy and I think the simple gameplay has a certain charm to it.
Also kicking gnomes is fun :)
I am experiencing the weirdest movement problems in this game and I don't think that this is normal: When I walk into any direction and then look into another direction, it takes a really long time until the movement direction catches up with the change. I was really confused for a while. Will now try and see if there is a fix for that and come back again to report on it.
So now I tried it on a different machine with a dedicated graphics card. It works there without problems. The other one was a HP Laptop with i5 8250U Processor and integrated graphics. No idea what is wrong there.
Anyway, the game is pretty fantastic, good fun! Really well done! I still remember the other game I played at the last Jam... Sleepless Kevin, one of my favourites!
Wow, so spooky O_O. I had the same emotions while reading "It" by S. King.
This is so good, I liked basically everything about this game. I wonder what actually boss was doing in the room lol.
i really like this game. i think the gnome hunting period is way too long. maybe like 4 minutes instead of 10 minutes, or if there were more jokes going on during the process like there is at the five minute mark, it could have kept it engaging over the whole ten minutes. and at the end it didn't even tell me how many gnomes i saved! super funny game. love the boss, love the gnomes.
I completely agree! I wish we could have stuffed in some more jokes, we also wanted to include some items like padlocks to lock vents for a limited amount of time, marbles to trip the boss up, and a flute to guide Gnomes toward you. That way we could REALLY up the amount of Gnomes making it super intense but the time constraints are the bane of us all!
Also, a score telling you how many you saved would be great! Thank you for playing and your constructive feedback is really appreciated!
Amazing concept. I love the absurdist humour in it. Love the random sniff sounds of the character. I completed the purge and saved the gnomes! Found the camera to be a bit jittery when looking left or right which was a bit of a headache, but it didn't deter me playing through it to completion. Some of the audio levels were a bit uneven, but the voices and music are excellent.
Hilarious game, voice acting is excellent, the concept is cool too ! Well done !
I was very intrigued by the beginning, great sound, cool graphics, but I couldn't play because the control at a random moment of time changed to the opposite for some reason and I just couldn't walk :(
I tried it again. Actually, it doesn't change control to the opposite. Seems like player direction is not related with camera. But sometimes it gets synchronized. For example, if I use W player goes forward, then i turn 180 degrees, press W again and now player goes backward. I made a video with this bug, the only key I pressed is W (except one moment when i'm stuck in the some boxes at 00:13). There actually some tricky way to correct the player direction by looking at the bottom then trying to move, but it doesn't work everytime.

Absolute joy to play this game. The concept is incredible. Love the voice too. Great work with this one!
Really interesting concept! Great sounds and voices, all extremely funny.
Great game, poor gnomes!
Stressful, intense and rewarding game of hide and go seek. Boss gives me the creeps. I like it! Awesome Job!
