Hey TextToGame!
Firstly, let's get the negative stuff out of the way. If I'm going to be honest with you, I'm just gonna say it. I didn't really have much fun with this game. The gameplay just wasn't a lot of fun but I do think it's a fantastic start.
Now, with the negativity out of the way, onto the review!
The art was very simple, but it fitted this game nicely. You made good use of the theme which was nice to see. There were very few sound effects in this game, I believe if you had more sound and some music it would have made the experience much more enjoyable :). The sound you hear when you were near an enemy was quite scary, and I loved how I could tell exactly where it was coming from. Thought it was awesome!
While playing this game, I found the controls to be fine. They weren't bad by any means, it worked well. I got a bit confused at first, not knowing what to do. But over time I started to understand. This game was really short, lasting under a minute. I wish the game was a bit longer but it's a game jam game so I don't blame you!
I think there is so much potential in this game. Perhaps while progressing through the level there could be powerups the player could pick up e.g. invisibility, time slow things like that. Or maybe you could have the ability to take out the enemies? They could be interesting to see.
Overall, I think you did a good job on making the game, but it just wasn't a lot of fun to play. But saying that, I believe this is a fantastic start to what could be an amazing game! Well done, thank you so much for your submission! :D
