The mechanics are good, but I found finding the lamps a bit tedious, especially since the ones I had left were in a very remote area. Even so, the game has its good points.
The game was very atmospheric and got the "wandering through the forest" vibe down pretty well. Only thing it was missing was the sound of the wind gusting and some ambient noise! Implemented the theme and the special object in a very clever manner. Hearing the chimes of the bells ringing after sending out a soundwave was super satisfying. The little tutorial at the beginning was very thoughtful and well made too! Job well done!
The low res pixel art is so cool! I feel you have accomplished your goal of learning lighting and particle systems really well! The sound design also great!
Honestly, the best game I've played for this jam so far. Simplistic but effective art style (I adored the sweet little blackbirds, haha), and a really effective and novel central mechanic that had me playing all the way to the end! Would be highly effective to be used in a horror/dark survival game, actually - gave me very "Don't Starve" vibes. Also, whoop whoop for some Godot rep!! :D Only downside - if you could call it that? - was that the "get back to the light" screen where everything faded red made the entire screen brighter, so sometimes I ended up using that to find nearby lanterns. Not sure if that was intentional. Two thumbs way way up!
Art style is so aesthetic! I liked the concept, ironically, but it's almost similar to what I wanted to do at the beginning and changed my mind about. I thought I wouldn't find similar games, but you know, I really liked your idea much more than my concept.
(P.S. We still need a cooldown on the bell.)
I would be grateful if you would rate my game!
Really cool game! Cooldown on the bell would be nice since you can kinda spam it the whole way
I really liked the vibes on this one! Maybe add a cooldown between rings though, since you could spam it really fast lol
beat the game!! i really loved the vibe, lots of nice juicy effects and the sounds are really satisfying. really nice work in creating a spooky but christmassy vibe. i loved it, great work!! the ending was a real gift ;)
