That was interesting!  It had some good elements,like the surprising turn of events that made the game creepy and the general vibe was good. 

But some things didn't stand out as good. The fact that you have to wait for the eyes to spawn before you try again, the fact that the platforms did not stand out from the background that much,  the dull character,etc. It's a shame because you can see that you put great effort to  other things like cinematography,creepy vibe etc,which was really good!  It seems like you run out of time! But everything that you put time into it was great! ;)

Also it kept me there to finish it,sooo,  good job!!! :D

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely agreed that some things needed more time. The eye section 100% needed a better checkpoint system, but as you guessed, I was running out of time to develop something better. I've also got basically zero experience with pixel art (well, all art really) and wished I could have done something better on that front. This experience was really helpful in that it forced me to work thorough some things I don't know and finish something, and now I have a better idea on areas I can improve. Thank you for playing my game!

Exactly!!! That game-jam was a great experience for all of us to learn new things! and that's what matters :D

Difficult to see the level, I was pressed in a small area in the upper left corner, with a lot of eyes, and there's no way to escape

You can use the same bug you used to escape the first level to escape that bit as well :)

I don't know what to do when the eyes appear and the platform disappear. I just die and I have to wait the eyes to show up again. :( I like the creepiness in it though. Like you're not supposed to glitch and the game infects your system to punish you. 

5/5 Topic WOWIEEEEEE

Developer

Whoops, yeah I worried I made getting past that bit too finicky. The right wall gets destroyed and you can get by them to continue to the right where there is another loading zone. Thank you for trying my game!

Thanks for the explanation. Then I'll try to continue playing the game.
