just wanted to put it out there because most people didn't understand the last jumpscare and looking back at it after years of making this game i kinda understand how it comes off as unnecessary and cheap (which it is a bit). I wanted as a last sendoff to give the "officer" a taste of what he is about to go up against, which is disturbing looking maniacs that are after him to kill him, in a nightmare-ish atmosphere.  To be fair the game was pretty much made in 2 weeks and the 1.1 update coming out in a couple of days since i never expected the game to gain any traction.  I was very limited with the storytelling since the  structuring of the game was extremely strict and non expandable, thus some parts felt cheap since the lore behind them wasn't properly explained. Overall was a nice experience developing it and a crazy surprise to me that ppl actually liked it. Maybe i give another similar game a try soon

Feed back helps us improve it a lot.

Thanks for the review! Indeed the movement is kinda bad and i should have worked on it more

Hello!

The game is indeed rigged a bit to make hitting the red squares LESS common. I don't know why it still hits so often.

Indeed in the case it becomes an actual game I will work on it a lot more using player feedback.

The movement is indeed quite fast while I was constantly playing and got really used to it. This will also be fixed!

Thanks a lot for the review! I focused a lot on the visuals of the game and I'm glad it was worth it. The whole movement could use some improvement to become more player friendly. Lastly,  I didn't get to make a complete tutorial and explain the mechanics. The board game style should have been explained better as its the core of the game. 

Thanks for the review! I'm glad to know that you didn't mind the movement! The art indeed is in my opinion of the strong points of the game, and I'm glad it turned out this way.

feels good to play but the idea is quite commonly used 

i like the way the game looks and feels to play. good job

the movement indeed is a bit fast and could use some polishing. The idea was quite decent in my mind but sure i might have the same one as others

i liked the gameplay and the graphics seemed solid but i don't see how it fits the theme 

the gameplay looked pretty nice and i loved the music although the approach to the theme seemed poor and a bit unoriginal while so many other games I've played used the same mechanic.

Overall its a solid submission 

Really like the visuals of your game. 

indeed that's where this was inspired from.

The movement could be a lot better. It's really fast and I didn't realize.

Thanks a lot for the review !

The movement turns out is really fast. i didnt realize as i was constantly playing while making the game and got used to it. 

returning to start makes it so you have something to lose and try harder to not. also it extends the time it gets you to finish it

indeed the music doesn't loop because although i coded it so that it cans, i forgot to set looping to true and never realized it because my playtesting wasn't long enough to reach the end of the song.

Overall thanks for the review! i will take all into consideration and put them into a more complete and polished game in the future

god damn im such a moron i forgot to enable the looping in music

level 5 and 9 were added to add some thrill and also extend the game.

the movement indeed is quite fast and takes a bit to get used to.

Thanks for the review

the looks could be better but its a unique approach to the theme. well done

really like the presentation and the idea is really nice

also its an easy to understand game which is really important for game jam games

your approach to the theme was quite unique

really liked the idea. the  look could be better but overall it is really good gamejam game

it seems polished and well made. although i found hard understanding how to play the game

really unique idea! the art style is absolutely great too.

i didn't have time to make many levels so i tried to make it a bit hard so that the player doesn't finish the game too soon. The difficulty is kinda broken since i didn't have anyone playtest the game before submitting 

genius. the game is just great. its not clear at all that it was made in 48 hours

Damn thanks a lot. I didn't expect anyone to play the game. I wasn't planning on doing anything more with the game but I may upload a separate finished version in the future
