Small spoilers below

The first puzzle is just a 3 digit keypad, and there's only one thing with 3 consecutive digits in the first room. After you get into the second room a lot more clues appear about what to do with the numbers (also even more clues as the game progresses)

it's in the secret lore that the player is a vampire 

It's really hard to balance this sort of stuff, ideally we should've probably put a dialogue option to ask the player if they want the solution 

You saw the theme and asked yourself "how can I put this everywhere" - and you did, and it looks and plays great. I have just two tiny tidbits about this game I didn't quite enjoy, one is that after the rest of the bosses after the first really punished melee gameplay and that the combo counter  really didn't add much to the entire game, other than a number at the end. Still, very juicy, very fun submission as always from you :)

This game looks great and feels really nice to play, but I wish there was just a little bit more of skill expression in the gameplay, all of the bosses were just "hold left mouse and dodge until the boss dies", still, I had a lot of fun playing :)

this 👆 is ✔crazy😜good👍
I wouldn't be mad if this wins the jam this is an actual work of art

Adding another one to the count of "yollie overuses vfx". Well would you look at that, still 100% accuracy, he never seems to miss. (this isn't meant to be a jab at yollie lol)

Thank you for your insights Mr. Bad, I agree 100% with all of them

It doesn't work for me either on Firefox (all unity games don't work for me), you might want to try a different browser

No, we communicated badly that there's no end on the outro level

Literally our conversation was:

Arcy: I realized we can take a lot of inspiration from stray for level art design
Arcy: Neon signs are a must
Arcy: That actually say stupid shit in Japanese
Yollie: Yeah
Yollie: Alright neon signs are bloody easy

Free hotdogs not included. Oh also, the outro doesn't have an end and that's just badly communicated. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh cool another speedrun game in the jam. I really like your take on the theme and even if the character controller was a bit hard to control at times, it was still really enjoyable to play, great work!

The hole beckons, yet I have to resist. I've been here for many weeks now, my one and only real friend is the hole. I've fed it little cubes, I think it enjoyes them. As I start each day I wonder if the hole is the answer to this. It all feels like a cruel experiment. "Why am I here? What is my purpose?" I ask myself, or, rather, the hole, but the hole never answers. The hole knows everything but it keeps everything to itself. That sickens me... the idea of the hole sickens me. It shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be here. The hole beckons. But... I must resist.

Anyyyways  really lovely showcase of great environment design and art direction and capability of Godot for 3D projects, the audio-visual experience is absolutely stunning.  My only gripe of the game is that some parts required a bit of more precised jumping and it was really hard with the controller you made. 

Really great game!

Awesome, this feels like taking agario and improving on its concept to create a game with actual strategy and fun gameplay in mind. Would love to see this expanded upon!

Very simple but turbo enjoyable gameplay, paired with your usual style it works really great! I only wish the tutorial wasn't a wall of text but it's a 96h jam, so all is forgiven :)

Help my key is the size of the entire dimension.  I love the concept of that one puzzle game taken into a puzzle platformer experience with cute visuals to accompany it.  I'd love if the puzzles were a bit more challenging because the game felt pretty easy overall. Still, really good game!

You said that the game was mid but I honestly really enjoyed it. I can only explain the gameplay as "crisp", every single aspect is polished as hell, the sfx, visuals, music - everything is tied together beautifully.  The main gameplay loop isn't turbo interesting but it really doesn't need to be. One minor thing I'd change is to leave the camera where it was during the playing mode when you change to edit mode.

Obviously big props on the visuals, the art is inredible, as is the dynamically changing music! I had some troubles controlling the player at first but got a hang of it pretty quickly. I wish the sfx were given a bit more care because they feel very repetitive and harsh compared to the soundtrack (still, much much better than nothing!). Great job on the game!

Leaderboard isn't fake, it just breaks sometimes, or if it's about the times, they're 100% real, we saw some of these people do those records live on discord

I really loved the visuals in this game and the gravity mechanics! I feel like the SFX could be a little more varied and a lot of actions are missing sounds, also it seems that the upgrade are capped as I couldn't get more than 1000 currency. Still, I had a blast playing this game, good job!

Other jammers will rate your game, so if you make your game multiplayer you might struggle getting votes since people usually play jam games by themselves. If you want you can definitely make your game multiplayer, but just be aware of that! (also multiplayer is much much harder)

More monsters spawn as you complete objectives, which is just used as a difficulty thing since I didn't have time in the jam to do more actual monster phases/behaviours.

As for randomization, I'd say just adding some mechanic that lets you find items easier (possibly tied to the echolocation ability) would probably circumvent frustration. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!

What pieces of paper? And the microphone should send a wave of lights, not really flicker. Are you on mac/linux? Cause these two versions are untested so it would be good to know the issues are there

There could be both clues and solutions I think - in different files perhaps, and for sfx on top of my head I can think of like water dripping in the cave when the text says "water drips from the celing", wind sounds when you stare into the abyss, or river sounds when walking next to the river

I absolutely live for games like these. Having to solve puzzles OUTSIDE of the actual game is probably my favorite genre of games as of late. I just wish there were some more SFX after dialogue to help the imagination a bit. Also the clues were absolutely NOT clues, they were just answers. Still, I really enjoyed my time with this game!

No I don't mean sounds, sounds are great (although I agree with the player hit being too low). I meant more like visual feedback, you could even just use the basic fps tropes like hitmarkers, enemies flashing for a frame on hit, more particles, red vignette on getting hit, stuff like that.

Side note: I adore your profile picture lol

Holy worldbuilding. I really enjoyed all the little types of rooms you've created and some of the crazy visual stuff happening. My only gripe with this game is probably lack of player feedback - getting damaged, dealing damage, killing enemies all should be pretty clear but I wasn't really getting that here.  But, other than that this was really enjoyable to play (a bit too hard maybe?). Great work!

The visuals are insanely well made, I especially liked the color palette and the effect at the edges of the screen which makes it feel like part of the itch page. Definitely felt the slay the spire inspiration, in a good way - I feel like the game executed it rather well. The music was a bit tiring after a while (because of short loop), but it was epic. Really great job!

I absolutely love how ham you went on the shader in this game, it makes for a very memorable art style, especially the posterization. Also, the main mechanic was very interesting and it subverted the typical fps shooting style which was awesome. Really great work!

Really nice mechanic! I especially enjoyed the levels where the player themselves had to be combined, it made me really think about the movement. Also the visuals while simple were really well made and the visual effect was stellar. I think this is a great little puzzle game, good job!

I really love how this game looks and the main fighting mechanic, but as you said it was a bit too hard. I feel every enemy should be a bit weaker by themselves or there should be way less enemies. Still, you created a nice world that got be that has me wanting to learn mroe about, with really great visuals and sfx on top of that. Nice job!

I hopped on your stream and you said that the first jumpscare doesn't get many people. Well, it got me, I was honestly expecting it to build up and go back to normal and not to a jumpscare lol. Anyways I really enjoyed this, the audio and visuals go together perfectly. Also all the subtle changes made the game for me, really great entry!

Probably the best graphics I've seen this jam yet, really nice job on those! The audio was also really well made and suited the gameplay really nicely. I wasn't the biggest fan of the gaemplay itself, but objectively I think the gameplay loop is really good. I'm just curious why is the player limited to a grid while the attacks aren't? Feels pretty counter-intuitive in a way. Still, you really blew out of the water with this game, good job!

I love the concept, and the game actually took me half as much as you said in the description. I really love the main mechanic, I just wish there was more objectives than just collecting a bunch of stuff. Like that one minigame with shooting bottles was really fun and I wanted to see more. Also some calm music would go a long way. Still, I really enjoyed the visuals and the main saturation mechanic, really nice job!

I really like the idea and how the cubes nicely blend together to white when they are together, I just wish the puzzles were more challenging. Also love the sfx, a mouth made music in the background would be hilarious and work really well I think. Really solid game!

Sadly I didn't have too much to play test and with the 2 people I have playtested with found the code pretty easily, so I didn't realize it needed more hints, sorry! The microphone is needed for finding the code and it's mainly so you can scout rooms better for items and such (also the enemies can hear you when you're really close) 

Firsr of all, this is my very first try at a horror game like this so all your feedback is priceless to me. The enemies react to either looking at them, using the mic or running, all while close to them. So running around and avoiding the eyes with smart movement is definitely one way of playing this game (definitely the quickest!). 

I agree there should be an alternative button to the main ability, but I was afraid that everyone would just use it instead of using the mic like intended. 

Again, you being critikal is great for me because I get to learn, thank you! <3

I don't personally see that many similarities to rain world, but see this game as trying to be something unique by itself, and I love that in it. Obviously the atmosphere bangs, you did a great job on it, along with sfx and art.  I think my only problem would be that I didn't exactly know what was going on all the time, like once I shined my flashlight on (what I thought was) nothing, and a bat came flying out of the wall and knocked me down the well restarting my run. Still, amazing game. 

I really love the concept of changing your movement abilities on the go with such stylistic visuals on top.  Also I'm glad you added subtitles, as it was hard to hear some words with the filter on top of it. I just wish the resetting was a bit faster without a need for me to press a button, because it interrupts flow of gameplay. Other than that, I really enjoyed this!

Holy fuck dude you can't just drop a banger like that. Absolute masterpiece, polished to oblivion. I adore the little touches you made that made this game stand out from every other one this jam. The story also had be hooked, and I was scared shitless the reveal was going to be a cheap jumpscare, and I was pleasantly surprised. Bravo!
