I loved the atmosphere! It is so well done and really get's across the feeling. Sometimes bullets clipped through targets, so that was a bit weird. Good interpretation of the theme and definitely fun to play!

Surprise DungeonA super well-made game, you did such a great job at reating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere! As for what could be improved, perhaps having some form of ammo count somewhere? Though this is only a slight issue I suppose as it does add to the tense nature of the game not knowing how much ammo is left. At least some form of indication as to how much you have at the start of the game would be nice, as from what I can tell the only way to find out is by refilling at the first ammo box, which it's possible to not even have the ammo to get to assuming the person guarding it turns out to be a monster. I did also run into a bug where one of the innocents seemed to just not move when a monster was walking towards me, meaning I had to wait for the monster to walk past it before I could shoot.
Thanks so much for playing! I'm surprised you're the first person to mention the ammo - I did leave that out intentionally to make it more tense (in the initial dialogue it's mentioned that you receive 10 rounds, but maybe it's not super obvious). I was expecting that to be more controversial!
Yeah there are a few bugs, I'll hopefully get those fixed post-jam. Thanks again for the feedback :)
My compliments to the chef (nah i'm just joking ), my feedback for this game to the devs is this. The game play of the game was nice and I like the background of the game that blends in with it, but I wish some jump scares of the game were unexpected and some bugs were fix. All in all It was a fine game and good job dev team for making a game under 48 hours.
Some clever ideas and very much on theme :-) having it be random who does and doesn't transform between playthroughs was definitely surprising!
I like the feel of the controls - raise gun and fire gun being separate actions was cool, and the animations were nice.
I did run into an issue where I failed one run because my bullet went through a monster and killed an innocent, which was a bit frustrating, but otherwise didn't have any problems.
It would be nice if the opening dialogue was either faster or skippable because it put me off trying again after my third restart.
Overall a very solid entry!

Shovel Master: Surprises in the SnowI wish it was a little bit Christmas related for the jam but I do like the gameplay and eerie theme. There is also mystery and the art style is nice. I do want a little more scenery assets to help fill in the blank areas and variation of lighting might add to depth in the rooms but I get that there may not have been time for it because it was only 48 hours. It was still fun to play. Good job.
Please check out my game for the jam if you have time.

The Right GiftLoved the lighting and atmosphere that was really well done! The surprise who is a monster and who is not is great and keeps you on your toes.

Project: Surprise!Very good, the atmosphere is great! Only problem as others have said is the dialogue. I shot an innocent to see if I could, then had to wait through the dialogue again, and then again when I died. Not a big problem though, the game is very fun, good job!

The Naughty KidsThat's some top notch atmosphere right there. That rustled my jimmies, but in a good way :D

Running Vs ChatWoah, really loved the game, and the lighting effects were great too! Only problem I had was the random chance can be annoying sometimes, if absolutely everyone turns into a monster - but apart from that, really enjoyed it!

Santa's Great IdeaVery atmospheric and I really loved the gameplay. Was a little annoying to have to sit through the first conversation again every time I died. Is is randomised who turns into a monster? Because on my first playthrough the vent guy did and then the second time he didn't. A very effective horror game!

YogTowersnice atmosphere and movement feel, only thing other than skippable dialogue I think that alarm noise needs to be toned down, it was driving me a little mad at the start. was a nice play, thank you :) loved that eery sound effect at the end by the green tanks.

winter WONDERLANDSuper cool game for people with trust issues. I would totally recommend it :)
Good job on the spooky atmosphere!

Stray MateysReally good game! I like how you don't know who is who. Also great atmosphere, moody. I just don't like that you can't skip the intro dialog. With that out of the way, the game is really fun to play.

Humanity's Final Surpriseawesome game, the atmosphere is amazing. I legitimately got scared by my own shadow more than once. The lighting is so good. Only little things would be having more feedback on monster hits... and that it was too short! I wanna play more!

Riddle Bros: The Final PushCriminally underrated. Loved the atmosphere and visuals if there were some sounds for the monsters and stuff that could have easliy made it better.
