Very sinister, I was on edge the whole time! I did get taken out of the experience a bit by the throwing mechanic, it felt quite random when it did and didn't work, and while I didn't really have any trouble completing the blue and red tents, I couldn't quite nail the final throw of the yellow one, which is really sad 'cause I was excited to see the (presumably traumatic) end!
All in all, amazing work on the atmosphere, the music and art were awesome, great job by the whole team!

Thanks for playing and commenting. The throw mechanic was hard to dial in. It’s much better than the initial version, but it was hard to perfect with the timeline.
You didn’t miss much. We didn’t have time for an ending. The ending I did add has failed and the only thing you get is a grey screen.
It does seem like a really finicky mechanic to balance, for what it's worth I thought the elephant's trunk was a really charming way to handle the items (outside of the general horror vibes it was surrounded by!) and it was satisfying when it did behave, so I think it was well worth the ambition!
The design in general was well-balanced, the tight ropes were great for forcing risky decision-making and I was really impressed with how well the ferris wheels worked for transporting loose items, I fully expected my torch to tumble off the first time but it stayed perfectly put.
Oh! I did get the grey screen, I managed to land the key in once but then got caught and jump-scared a few seconds later, so I assumed it was part of that. In that case, though, I'm a proud BTLT completer!
It's always frustrating when some final touches inevitably fall through in jams, or the timer runs out, but I hope it was otherwise a fun and positive experience, and you're all rightly proud of what you made!
