Love Or Math?Hiya, I played through the game recently and had a great time doing so. The pixel art style is what caught my attention initially followed by the fact that the game is based off Evil Dead 2 which only made me want to play it even more.
As mentioned by a few people prior to me, the intro scene is striking and immediately catches your attention, making you ready for more, it certainly was a great addition to the game.
I did find the game to be a little bit challenging, especially when the kick is introduced, but given the short length of the game the difficulty is just fine.
All in all it's a great little game, based off an equally great movie. I'm happy I got the opportunity to play it here and look forward to hopefully seeing more from you in the future.
Also, I hope you don't mind but I recorded a short let's play of the game for my channel.
Groovy.
What a great, if short, tribute to the mighty Evil Dead II.
Amazing intro - really sets the tone! :D
Great graphics - especially like the ray-casting effect from the hand on surrounding objects (doesn't really seem to serve a purpose, but sure looks cool!)
Love the humour - especially the way Ash kicks the hand away!
Congrats on getting this all done in the time allowed.
Good luck! :D

Here Comes The BrideThanks Paul!
That intro sequence was kinda unexpected. I remember as I was trying to get some some sleep and suddenly that idea just grasped my mind and didn't want to go away for, like, 20 minutes. So I had no choice to get up and implement it and learn how to use that new Timeline thing in Unity along the way. That tool is very cool and perfectly suited for 'movie' stuff.

I had a lot of fun playing the game. The opening sequence reeled me in fast, and the audio was well done. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the game was a bit longer either. I really liked the idea of being a disembodied hand that strangles people. I do admit that the controls were a bit odd though. It took some getting used to as space is usually to jump, but it's a short game so it was no problem.
Overall, great game! Good luck with the game jam!
Hands down this is the best Evil Dead game to date! Really captured the looks of the movies and the humor excellently. Ash was the OP badass he should have been and the struggle was real in trying to overcome him. This game is ultra GROOVY and it is my personal favorite of the many games I have tried in this Jam! 5/5
Oh boy, that's intense! I found myself getting stuck on things a bit, jumps are a bit too tight and things like that, but other than that this game is really fun, and superbly atmospheric.

Ed in the ShedReally cool idea. That intro was pretty intense as well. Visuals look great, plays well. I think I was expecting to have to mash the keyboard to do the choking so it felt a little calm when I got hold of Ash. Might make it feel like more of a struggle if it wasn't just holding the spacebar. That's the only thing I can point out though as the rest of it was very well done :)

Land GruberHad a blast choking out Ash! Made me want more as soon as it was over. Fun stuff.

Historical Booth Babesfiuh! I did it! I though I was not going to be able to defeat that last part! I liked the fact that the hand has no life and cannot die xD

Interstellar Docking Sceneawsome! Evil dead is one of my fav movies B-)
Great touch on being ash's hand instead of him. It looks really polished and plays well. Although ash kicking me all the time made me rage quit hahaha

Turman showI suspected from the thumbnail that the player was the person, and I was happily surprised. It's a unique idea, and I enjoyed playing it! The only issue I had was that the shotgun knocks you so far back in the last phase that you have little to no room for error when trying to get in the final choke, and the way the jumping works makes it harder. It could have been a design choice to make it really hard though so I can't say too much! I still enjoyed it!
It took me a while to get used to the jump (its very short), also there seem to be no life, or if there is, there's no feedback about it. Other than that, it was fun :)
