REALLY nice visuals an idea!!! Keep working on it pls!!!

Submitted

The visuals are really great. Professional looking particles and art. The ressurection looks really good and feels great. Different enemies would make the game more fun and randomly generated obstacles would be also great.

The movement is kinda unresponsive... I assume you are normalizing an input vector to avoid faster move speed when moving diagonaly, but you're using Input.GetAxis() to get the input value. When you want to normalize input vector, you should use Input.GetAxisRaw() (I could be wrong, maybe you are using different input method, this is just my assumption)

Thanks for your review!
More enemy types and obstacles and much more stuff is on my list, but in this short time I couldn't achieve.
I agree, the movement can be more tight, I would check out what you said, thanks. for the tipp.

I loved the visuals (They really remind me of blackthornprod's art, I don't know if that was intentional or not). I also think making this a horror game is genius, I was genuinely terrified with the music and aura, to the point where I forgot that this jam is centered around losing and began to understand more of how you progress. The only critique I have is marking progress, I wasn't really sure what I was aiming for or how to reach the end (if there was one), I stopped playing after about ten minutes though, so I don't know. Regardless, this was really fun, good job!

I have fun playing. awesome visual and audio.

Woooow ! It looks so professional :O the looks are inssaaaane, the sound design is awesome. It's easily in the top 5 of my favorite games in this jam.

Developer

Thank you very much!

The game looks gorgeous. It was a very fun experience. And, btw, nice work with the lighting :D

Developer

Thanks for your feedback, I'm glad you liked it.

the art and music is awesome. Very atmospheric environment. I like this cartoony stuff very much creepy or cute doesn't matter, i love them XD. I didn't get why failure should be progress in this game: i resurrected a couple of times but the character felt exactly as strong as before.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your review! I'm sorry to hear you didn't notice difference. You get more fire damage, speed, hp, larger view area, secondary aoe fire mode at some point.

Submitted

aaaaah ok XD maybe some animations or something that changes on the charachter (like the color to make it more red or angrier) could have helped notice the difference!

Developer(+1)

Actually the fire in the head is growing and gain more view distance around you and 3 times get more bloom effect, but there is 12 form, so I had to split out the differences, cause it's too much at the end. 
But I understand, some more directed indication needed.

Submitted

The game looks phenomenal.

This game jam has a few gems that put lighting into good use, this is one of those gems.
I never go to the ending, maybe I was too impatient but I didn't feel like my firepower was increasing.

I did find a pretty funny bug however! You didn't lock the "Ressurrect" Button on a "one-time" use, so if you spam it really fast, it triggers up to 5-10 times, making huuuge explosions possible :D

I love dark games like that, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your review! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't hold longer, slowly it's true but for the end you will gain insanely amount of power.
I found that bug, after I uploaded the game, but at least funny exploit :)

Where do I start with this game... This was a fantastic experience. The game is so polished with everything complementing each other. The art is gorgeous, the SFX and music are frightening but fit the aesthetic really well. The animations in this game are really great and the menu is beautiful. I loved every aspect of this game, and it was an enjoyable experience!

One suggestion I would add to improve the game is adding probably a health meter and a bullet counter.

Other than that, this game was outstanding!

Great Job!

Developer

Thank you for the detailed review! The Hud or No Hud is a big question for me on this, thanks for the advice.

Submitted(+1)

This is gorgeous! I like how light and shadow is incorporated in every element of the game from your life bar to your projectiles to finding enemies. Very cool.

I'm glad you liked it, thanks for your feedback!

Great scary atmosphere. The visuals are really good. I like the lighting around the cursor too it's a nice touch.

The enemies are probably too cute to be scary especially the little ones. I'm  not sure that you can give up when you die, it didn't do anything when I clicked on it.

I felt that it needs more firepower.

Developer

Why do you want to give up? :) Just hold on a little bit longer and you will get the firepower, it's insane in the end. Only ~10 min. need to beat the game.

Thank you for your feedback! 

Submitted

It looked likeI had the option so wanted to try it

Developer (1 edit)

I'm just kidding, that would lead to alternate ending, but I didn't have enough time for it. :(

Submitted (1 edit)

I did play a bit more and got the ending, rating adjusted

Developer

I'm surprised and glad you did that, thank you for the second try!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game! Gave me goosebumps and chills with losing the light! Was a tad bit difficult but but the music really added to the environment. Great art!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! You definitely found the fun and kept it simple, nice visuals and audio. It would have been nice to get more benefits from failing and get a sense that the difficulty is scaling somehow. But overall, well done!

Developer

Thanks for your review! You will get more and more stronger, get more firepower, skill, speed and light larger area. Towards the end you will get insane power. But I agree, it would be better if I somehow showing this more straightforward.

that first monster was scary o_0

Great game nice visuals and sound, maybe a bit hard but overall pretty nice game

Good job :)

Submitted(+1)

this game is so good! the music, visuals animations are all in place, great submission!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the graphics and the idea, but I think it starts too hard, and maybe there could be other light sources, like torches arround the level, because the FOV is very limited

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear that, you found too hard. After every failure you will become more stronger, faster and get more FOV. In the end you almost see the whole map. I would like to feel the weakness at start and the insane overpower at the end.

Submitted

I died stopped playing after dying the second time, if it's not an obvious change, I think there should be a message letting the player know that he will now be stronger because he died

Developer

In this case some indication would be necessary, thanks again.

Really cool game! The lights were really cool!

The game fits almost perfectly the game! The respawn was really cool!

Great job!

I love the soundtrack!! The game is fun to play. The characters and animations were pretty creepy and cool. I was scared by the time the small monsters arrived.

great job!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad if you were scared :)
