I love the low poly ps1 era graphics, they really fit Slenderman! I wish there was a little more variety in the humans though, and maybe their death sfx volume could be lowered a bit. There's also a note tucked between two trees that makes it a bit difficult to quickly rewrite. Other than those criticisms, I really liked this game. The aforementioned graphics set it apart from everything else I've seen submitted, the material used for the twist is refreshing, and what I think really ties it all together for me:
The little animation of Slenderman writing a new note on a notepad. It's just really funny to me. Maybe add a subtle sigh whenever he has to do it lol!
Great game!

Night LightAwesome game, well made. Love the sounds graphics and the gameplay. I had a bug where I was stuck placing a note on a tree behind another tree, nothing major because it places it when your in direct line of sight.

Night of the ClawI reached a 2000 score 🥳
This game is super addictive! I love the ragdoll effect when we get to scare people to death 🤣

Pot Head - GMTK2023Gameplay is fluid and feels great. Animations are the best I've seen in this jam. How did you make them?
I like that you can put the notes back.

Bullet Chamberone of my friends who is very good at animating and modeling revised the hand animations that midey made originally as well as created the drawing animation. I now credited him in the description as I just looked over the rules again and realized I need to credit external art (which includes his work since he isn’t on the team technically? He is my friend and could be considered on the team as we worked with him but doesn’t have an itch page)
The animator/modeler that did the hand animations is https://youtube.com/@hoistenize
Everything was on point: the animation, the gameplay, and even the PSYCHO streamer guest appearance. Great work!

Noble NavigatorI really liked this entry!
The atmosphere and overall vibe and graphics of the game are awesome. Really love the conbination of pixel graphics with low poly.
I think it would have been cool to try some mechanic in wich you cant move if you are being looked at or something like that, like in the og game.
Also i do not know why some of the enemies are like little Danny Devitos, but i love it.
Great entry! :)

Normal ActivitiesThe smugness and swagger in the animation of the people stealing your notes is great. Ditto for the animation of slenderman drawing a new note, you can feel the annoyance.
It's good that you have more than one enemy type, but some map variety probably would have helped too. When it's just a sparse forest, I can always see all the way to the next target.
If there was a building that I had to get around, a tunnel, an industrial park, or even just a change in elevation, then there could be more strategy in which notes to prioritize reposting.
Also, I like that the people are visible by their flashlights in the distance, but the pixelated camera filter seems counterproductive to that feature. Right now, you can't easily preemptively strike people before they get to the tree. If the field was darker and their flashlights were brighter, it could make you more proactive than having to wait for them to take your notes.

Dirty Dog!I thought that was absolutely brilliant! Such a great idea to reverse the role of the Slenderman game, but also totally make it your own thing! Really awesome work, love it!

Journey's StartI AM SLENDER MAN!! KEEP YOUR GRUBBY MITTS OFF MY NOTES AND TREES!!!
Ok, to be fair, I did get too much into character here. But I think that it would make a fun multiplayer experience, one that I can easily see Markiplier and Jacksepticeye playing.

Becoming The GoalLove the art style, and the idea is just hilarious! Especially love Slenderman drawing up new notes to put on the trees. Great job!

Flesh CarsIdea is really fun and visuals and animations felt nice. Well done!

Spin Again, Please!I understand what you are saying, but I think it is unfair to say it is uncreative strictly because of it reversing an already existing game since it is very much the theme, the gameplay is not really close to the original game, and if we are judging creativity partially by uniqueness, no one else really made a game about slenderman in general. No hate or anything just wanted to respond with my thoughts about your comment <3
Good luck in the jam and I hope your game does well! :))
