Short and sweet. I can imagine there would be lots of possibilities here.

Great effort.

Very simple and very atmopsheric, loved the visuals. Wish there was more, there's a cool opportunity to tell a little story with this one :)

Oh my god, I liked this project! ๐Ÿ˜

Firstly, I want to note that the controls in the game are intuitive - thank you for that! The timer above the ship adds convenience and helps you focus on the gameplay.

Secondly, the animation in the game really creates a unique atmosphere, for which I thank you specially.

Thirdly, some moments are scary, and this is quite consistent with the atmosphere of horror. Although I can say that I was not so much scared, but rather pleasantly surprised by the new elements that opened up with each level at the lighthouse. The sound design is also top notch - it perfectly complements the impression of the game.

Fourthly, I really liked the design of the ending, when the player wins! It adds a sense of completion to the moment.

Of what could be improved, I would recommend adding enhanced effects when losing, be it sound or visual elements. This could make the game even more memorable.

Overall, I give it a 5 with a plus! The project matches the theme of the jam) Thank you for your work! ๐Ÿ’–

Hey thank you. That is a lot of praise, I almost feel like it doesn't deserve that much :D

All tho there is a sound when you lose, I definitely had in plan for the ship to turn around and flee but as the deadline approached it felt like a minor detail that didn't need to be done.

But yeah I am glad you liked my game and thank you for the feedback. :)
