Feels really polished, thought this was an impressive entry. I think the github link you provided is broken though?

Cute story, and loved the interpretation of the theme. I don't think I've ever seen a game with this kind of concept before, thought it was really unique and fun.

Really fun, reminds me a lot of Sid Meier's Pirates. I did find a small bug I think where if you take current equipment off and put it back into cargo, the slot disappears. 

Hi, we're a team of programmers, composers and artists looking for a 3D artist to join our team. Ideally we'd like someone comfortable with modular environment art. We'll be working in Unity for this jam and are keen to make something really polished and fun! Please reply or message me on discord @Sootaloot if you're interested :) 

Such an impressive game! Loved the dialogue, thought it was very charming and engaging. Also the death loop is so nice, I love not having to restart and hear the intro again, it just makes it feel more polished :) Really awesome, I definitely think you'll get a great score for this jam.

One of the best games I've played this jam, I LOVE the inclusion of the mirror, haven't seen anything like that in games with these types of monsters before. Also just loved the theme and vibe of this, really cool setting and artstyle.

Trying yours now! The visuals look awesome. If you have a chance, feel free to try our game too :) https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

Hilarious and unique, loved the choice of music, it fit so well :)

Cool idea, very challenging. I think maybe adding health to the orb (eg three strikes and then you're dead) instead of instant loss might have felt a bit kinder from the player's perspective, and could open up a few more avenues in terms of items and time management; eg, maybe you could heal the orb if you have enough time.

Really nice, properly spooky game! I'm not sure the bell worked (or maybe the stun time is very low?), as I rang it, turned around and was immediately caught. But it made me scream so awesome job fitting the theme :D

Loved the monster, really nice art. I think I pushed the light stick thing off the screen and then couldn't get it back, and I was also unable to find where the key should go, so unfortunately I couldn't complete the game. I liked the concept though - really hope there'll be an update to it post-jam where I can finish it :)

Really unique concept and gameplay! Was surprised at how challenging I found this :) Feel like this could definitely be turned into a longer game, was really fun

Just played your game. I really liked the end, it felt eerily sinister! Here's ours if you'd like to give it a go: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

Liked the ending, it was pretty trippy! Had some issues with object interaction where I had to be a certain distance away before 'E' would appear / where if I was right next to the object, I couldn't do anything with it (not sure if that was intentional?) But overall really liked the vibes :)

Trying your game out now! Your art looks awesome :) Here's our game if you'd like to give it a try: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

So cute, I LOVE a game with a leaderboard! :) Art was so cute and I liked the small details that gave away whether they were a monster or not

The art is so cute and wholesome! I agree that some variation in the gameplay might be good to spice it up a bit, but I liked what you have so far :)

Just tried it + rated - I really liked the look of your game! If you have time, please give ours a go too :) https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

Awesome shader + controller, felt like I was one of the spider people from Return of the Obra Dinn. The final battle was a bit of a challenge but I liked it! 

Trying yours now! If you have time, please give our game a go too :) https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

Really well-polished (haha), the art and gameplay were amazing. I particularly liked the transition between the workbench and the ghosts. I did find it very challenging at first so happy to hear you might be making a more accessible edition. Would love to see this turned into a longer game post-jam! :)

Really nice voice acting, I thought it was a nice way to slowly uncover the story. I would've liked for some feedback when hitting an enemy (a sound or a knockback) as I couldn't really tell if it was doing anything.

Made it through with a friend playing 2 of the keys. While it might be against the game's premise, I think it would've been awesome if regardless of how you do, you can get to the end of the track and get a score (and then die if you don't pass), just as otherwise there's a chance you won't get to hear the whole song! Awesome work though, I really loved the art :)

Really liked your game's concept, excited to see where you guys go with it after the jam! Would love it if you tried our game too: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 Hope you like it :)

Really nice sound design and gameplay, thought the controls were really smooth. I encountered a few bugs, namely due to me throwing multiple balls down the track at the same time, particularly when I could see one was going to be a gutter ball. If I ended up with a gutter ball and a strike at the same time, my pins sometimes ended up freezing. I also wasn't sure if there was anything past the first round (I made it to the store and then after that nothing reset - but that could be intentional as its just a jam build?), else it might have also been because of the aforementioned bug. But regardless, really cool concept and would love to see how it progresses, I reckon you could make this super scary! :) 

You're not bugging me at all, dw! :) I get the error if I try running it after download, as only the .exe file has been uploaded. What you'll want to do is grab the entire folder that you made when building your project, compress the full thing to a zip file and upload that. (So the final folder should include the .dll, crashhandler stuff etc.) I can send screenshots if it'd help.

Rated + commented! You weren't kidding about it being hard :) We've been told our game is a bit tricky too at first if you'd like to give it a go: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 Hope you like it!

Really liked how fast + punishing this game was! Sometimes it felt like there were maybe a few too many enemies that spawned but could be a skill issue :)

Played, rated and commented - your game was so nicely made! This is our game if you'd like to try: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 Hope you like it :)

Nice puzzle game, this was so well-polished! Could definitely see this being scaled into a larger game post-jam :)

Hi, will try your game when the build is fixed. I think maybe you just uploaded the exe - you need to zip up the full Build file and upload it :) Hope that helps! Also if you're interested, you can try our game too, it's about dancing with the dead: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 Hope you enjoy it :)

This was beautiful, isekai us too so we can be together. And Princess. Seriously though, really polished work and amazing art, I'm really looking forward to the next installment.

Played, rated and commented! If you're interested, please also give our game a try: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 It's very different, not at all narrative-based, but I hope you enjoy it regardless :)

Played for all 3 endings - I liked the way you blended two stories together, and the inclusion of darker themes (thank you as well for the content warnings; for anyone else - definitely read these first!) I do think a few more dialogue options would have been nice, even if they ended up down the same route, just as it felt very punishing to choose A one time and have it lead to such a bad end. Really amazing commitment though and impressive work for just one week!

Hi! Tried out your game, thought it was really unique for this jam (both in terms of gameplay and the Christmas theme) :) Here's a link to our game if you'd like to give it a go, hope you enjoy: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754

Really cool seeing this kind of rail shooter arcade-y game in a jam, have never seen something like this before! Also love the commitment to not making it Halloween-themed :D

Oddly cozy, I could definitely see this as a simulator game on Steam. I only managed to get 10 of the items; is there any kind of different ending if you find them all?

Nice atmosphere, I got the butt cheek bug and thought I was stuck in a time loop where I was becoming more insane :D

Hi, hope you're having an amazing day too :) Our game is about a group of skeletons escaping their crypt to dance in the moonlight, inspired by the theme of Danse Macabre: https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2025/rate/3961754 Hope you enjoy it! I'll give your game a go too
