Great art and sound design! Nice idea for a game

Submitted

First, I love the pixel art! The art, music, and ambience add to the spooky feeling.

Second, I love the concept of the game. The tokoloshe is a South African (folklore) monster, I like how this ties to the jam in two ways, it speaks to the theme and it is South African.

Love the lighting and the general ambience of the game, great job! 

Submitted

Beautiful spritework! 

I really like that the tutorials are done diegetically, via these billboards that appear in the environment, the jump is a little floaty, but with more time and levels this could be amazing.  

Submitted

The game has great art and gameplay but i need more levels to understand the game or like a narrative story before the game starts playing.

Submitted

The idea is great and well executed. The lighting, character and environment art is also very impressive. Would love to see more levels. Well done!

Submitted

Cool concept and really nice art!

Submitted

A fun concept, and thought the monster design was really well done. Would have liked to see some more animations from him though. Like a jumping animation or scare animation. But the core of the game was cool and I liked the race against time / puzzle find all the scare spots aspect. And you did a great job on the sound effects. Other people did mention but the jump is a bit floaty.

I could embody my INNER SKABENGA and break people's windows!!! Very cool game to speedrun after 2 or 3 attempts, and I enjoyed all the various lil antics my fiendish Tokoloshe gremlin could get up to! 

Submitted

Great concept, and the art looked awesome, well done :)

Submitted

Amazing art and atmosphere!

I found the game a bit hard to play and "floaty" but otherwise awesome!

Submitted

Nice pixel art and idea. The jump felt too floaty.

Good job!

Submitted

Really like the sprite work and the overall atmosphere of game. My only gripes are that:

  1.  Although the E indicator is nice it would have been better if interactables had some sort of outline or glow
  2. The jump feels kind of floaty and unresponsive

Otherwise, good job

Developer

Thanks! I had intended to focus more on the mechanics, but I got a bit caught up in the art and visuals, and time just slipped away from me.

Had a good time with this one! The Sprite work is excellent indeed. Well done!

Hello! I made everything bangalangalang and even gave the clothes a fright. The randomized scare sounds - a fine touch. Good job sir! :D

Developer

Hehe, thanks man, glad you enjoyed the game.

Great little side scroller, well done! Kept waiting for Jack Parrow's song to start playing somewhere, lol

Solid platforming and the art was beautiful :)
