Thanks for your feedback! The clown can appear anywhere randomly every time it comes. You have to listen carefully to find out where it is. If you find him and he is offering you the balloon, you should be able to grab it with no problem.
hi, husband here. i got to say this was so creepy and fun i was cursing at the screen every time something scary happend. music box uhm no. shadow guy and runing man at the same time no thank you.
you have such a strong game here and even with some minor tweeking (like a clock, hiding areas other then the house that could get destroyed if hit to many times. counters for the mobs) this game is really simple and easy and terrifing you did such a good job. not to mention your main character and the crow are so absolutly adorable. i told my wife that it gives off Over the Garden Wall vibes(not just cause of the pumpkin)
i wil be loking forward to what you do next.
id add more levels, you leave on the boat just to go to a new map. it would be really cool to arrive at a dock just when you think you make it and you have to keep playying. but on a new bigger farm with all new terrors and challenges. even addding a bunny to eat your bush if you dont get to it in time, or a bird that destroys your fishing rod. a boat breaking down animation. putter into a dock and as you slam into place your bag of money drops into the river and the crow tells you you something sad and cryptic like "oh man a new farm, looks like this one has critters too maybe there wont be any monsters. better get started before you rot in that hat cawh cawh cawh" and so on and so forth. further away patches and smaller buckets could extend play time.
