I like your concept where you don't know what the "monster" is, but you know when it's near. Very effective.

Cool Idea, could be a great base for a horror game

I WIN?

:D Interesting concept on a game. I’d think it would be hard to do ‘horror’ games in such a small resolution.. but you pulled it off.

Super minimal, but effective. Good work here. The music reminded me a bit of the Friday the 13^th on the NES. Something about that tone of the music, real effective at being creepy.

Neat concept. The design decision to have the screen shrink in around you to convey the monster coming is pretty clever. Once I read through your whole description and understood what was going on the game was more spooky. I beat it on normal but I can’t figure out the trick with the monster on hard. It keeps killing me lol. Good job!

Fun little game. Took two quick deaths to understand the mechanic fully, but once I got it I enjoyed it. 

As others have pointed out, the initial speed of the monster made it difficult to tell if it was moving. My first impression was that I was running into static trap zones in a maze.

BUT once I sat in place for a moment instead of running full tilt and noticed the screen shrinking as -it- approached, it got a little spooky!

I really like the idea. game was executed very well! Sound was decent too. Good work! :D
