A solid little go at a 90s Doom-ish FSP. It’s definitely feeling to not be able to look up and down, lol! Even when I play classic Doom via GZDoom, I feel I need to turn up/down look on.

I thought the environment and monster design was quite creepy and I liked that you used weapon/monster sprites instead of 3D models!

I felt the environments were a little too dark/foggy. A lot of the time it felt as if I needed to hug the walls just to know where I am, and not really in a good way… and that was before I even came across the extra foggy rooms. I think there was way too much, even for a horror game.

As for the monsters… they work well, but are pretty easy to beat, even without a gun.

Over all, I think this was a solid entry! Here’s a link to my stream of this game, if you’re interested.

Up front, I did not finish the entirety of the story, but, for the first two nights worth that I did play, I thought the game’s writing and presentation were very nicely done. Some sound would have definitely helped elevate this entry a little more, but the story (as much as I was able to get through) seems pretty good.

A rather nice entry. I didn’t quite get the feeling of being in a mansion, particularly, but the presentation felt well done. I managed to find the Good ending… which felt good… though, I’m not sure how I would have encountered the other endings.

Over all, this was a nice simple entry and charm! Excellent work! Here is a link to me playing this game on a recent stream of mine… just to add horror to your Halloween season :D

I had quite a bit of fun with this game! Simple game idea executed marvelously, in my opinion! If I was to critique anything, it may be that the book sometimes felt like it was held out a bit far. Maybe this was part of the plan… have the book fall out of the player’s hand if they take corners too quickly? It just felt a little odd, but, over all nothing serious.

The ghost effect was great, both visually and in operation!

Wonderful entry you have here! Here’s a link to me streaming this game recently!

The visuals and sound design were really nice! I love the shader effects being used! The monster designs were really excellent and I loved how the skeleton monster’s eyes glowed in the distance.

I thought the controls mostly felt decent. Functionally, they were spot on with nice smooth animations, however, on a personal level, I really did not like the turn-and-move of the A,S,D keys. There were a lot of points I I pressed those keys expecting to strafe, but got turned around unexpectedly. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with the action, themselves, it was more I didn’t like that particular style of movement. Perhaps an option to turn and move or just move.

Wasn’t totally sure what the point of the game was. I assumed it has something to do with finding the exit, but nothing is really explained in game or on the games page. There were walls with holes in the corner that, I think, might have been secret doors or breakable walls, not never figured them out. The Eye monster kept killing me before I realized I was supposed to close my eyes to get rid of it, and, even after I did figure it out, it feels like it takes quite a significant period of time for the Eye to give up… which lead to several deaths as other monsters kept attacking me while the Eye had me stuck! One last issue I had with the Eye is that it often seemed to just suddenly appear, instead of me getting too close.

Over all, I felt that most of my failures while playing had more to do with pure RNG than it did with my skill (or lack there-of) with the game. Like, Eyes require you to close yours. You need the knife (oh, BTW, there is a knife) to kill the Skeletons. We have ghosts that you can’t(??) kill. You need the torch (oh, BTW, there’s a torch too!) to (I think) go down dark passages. There’s just quite a bit that’s not explained. Mystery can be really fun in a game, but not explaining the core mechanics anywhere (except movement and closing one’s eyes) can lead to quite a bit of frustration.

I am not trying to bash the work done here. The visual and audio presentation is wonderful! The game mechanically plays great (even if I may have disagreed with the how some of the movement was executed)! The monsters (from the rules I gleaned) all seem unique and function very well! This is all excellent work! I just feel the lack of communicating some of these system (especially with the monsters) lead to (my) frustration with the game.

Yeah, there were a number of rough patches in the game. Had we the time, I definitely would have gone over some of them to clean them up.

Oh man… I really think this game could be a great, creepy time! I love the art and the sounds! The small number of interactions I found were fun. The little stories you interact with, I think, are a great game play mechanic.

That said, there were things I either didn’t understand, or were potentially bugged, which took away from my totally enjoying this game.

My biggest issue is, whatever is going on in the office/station itself, is still active when interacting with the tasks. In both my attempts at playing the game, I died (by my neighbor?) both times after finishing the second task. I never understood what killed me.

I heard/saw my window being broken, and the creepy shadow fellow in the darkness beyond that window (which I shot a couple times). Never-the-less something still killed me. Was I supposed to fix the window somehow?

Again, aesthetically, I think this game looks and sounds great with game play systems that feel like they’d add a wonderful horror/suspense element to the game, but the latter systems don’t seem to work (or I failed to realize what I was supposed to to).

For such a simple concept this is a very very well executed game right here! Your monster scared the shiz out of me, not once, but at least three or more times! That’s some excellent execution!

My biggest issues with the game were… Currently, when the torch goes out, the player has a chance of being left in total darkness. This would be fine if this meant instant death for the player, but I had a run where my torch went completely out, yet the monsters never came for me (probably ran far enough away from them). This would have been fine if I has just enough ambient light to kinda make out the scene to some kind of navigation, but I was utterly blind, which kinda sucked. So, again, if the torch goes out completely, either the monsters should instantly kill the player, or the player should have just enough ambient light to navigate, but without protection from the monsters if they stumble across one in the dark.

I feel the stamina meter should only dictate if and for how long you can run. I don’t think your walking speed should be effected by the stamina meter. I’m sure this could be debated, though.

Over all, excellently made game! Wonderful job! And if you want the treat of watching this internet weirdo get jump scared by your creepy ass monsters, here’s the link to my stream of your game!

Hey… just want to clarify a typo in my comment… I meant to say “Not UNenjoyably do…”. That is to say, I did enjoy the dialog, even if it sounded clunky at times.

The idea for this game is amusing. You’re having a spooky party and everyone, including a killer, wants to come in. Sadly I think I might not be very good at these types of games.

Some things that confused me… The doorbell system has two buttons at the bottom. An up arrow and down arrow. Clicking these seemed to change a channel, but, I wasn’t exactly sure if I should have been doing so, or what I was looking for if I did. The description said something about breathing (which I think I came across a couple times), but, if I heard breathing, it was right away, without having to use the arrow keys. I didn’t know what I was supposed to do here.

When interacting with the door, I wasn’t sure if there was something visual I was supposed to look out for. Half the time, if the murderer was out there, they’d kill me before I even got to talk to them. Other times they’d kill me after the dialog. I never really figured out when one murder happened over the other.

The font used for the dialog was, for me, hard to read at times. A simpler, less styled font would have gone a long away to making the game easier to read.

Over all, I think there a good game in here, but I was having difficulties with it, and I’m not sure how much of the problems I had were my own inabilities, vs possible game bugs.

Here’s a link to me streaming the game recently, if you’re interested in such horrors. :)

I could definitely see the potential in this game! A sort of Wario Ware meets Saw kind of party game! Pretty damn cool. The low rez video at the start really adds, in my mind, to the over all feel of the game. The character graphics were well done and the dialog was decently voice acted!

Sadly, the mini-game brought it down. To be fair, this is mentioned in the description, but, still. The beating heart(s) challenges specifically… I know these kinds of games are supposed to be very short, but 5 seconds seems quite short to find one heart, let alone 2 or more.

Additionally, there is a lot of effort in the opening dialog discussing these fate cards, which, according to the dialog, come into play when one fails a challenge. Yet, when I failed a challenge, the game just instantly killed me. No dismemberment, and no fate card being chosen or played. I suspect it was a game play feature that got cut for time (which is a shame, as it felt like it could be a really cool system).

Over all, I feel this game could be really awesome if you can get in there and nail down the mini-games (and add more variety of them). Still, good job on what you have!

I’ll be honest… I wasn’t totally sure what I was intended to experience in this one. I’m not familiar with the Bitsy engine. As such, I’m guessing it was geared to 8bit, classic Atari style games. If this was the point, then the graphics and sound were decent for that generation of game. It controlled well, and the little dialog messages were creepy enough.

This was quite an enjoyable experience! The aesthetics… art, effects, sound… were all very much on point! If this was, indeed, based on a true story, I am fascinated to know what actually happened that night.

I will admit, however, the dialog felt a bit clunky to me at times. Not enjoyably so, but, if there was more time (or if you plan to continue with this project), another pass may be worth while.

Very cool concept! I liked the idea of playing as the ghost and scaring away ghost investigators! A really solid idea there! The controls, for the most part, worked well, and the physics seemed on par.

Over all, while it doesn’t take long to figure out what’s going on, it would have been nice if there was an explanation of what each ghost hunter did so the player knows which one is more critical to avoid (though, I got the feeling it was the camera man… that guy was on me like flies on shi..anyway…)

There were times I got the “Scare” message when I was close enough to one of the investigators, but clicking didn’t seem to do anything. It was kind-of a 50/50 shot.

It was fun, though, to keep pelting a guy with a couch until victory was had! Ha! Good times!

If you’re interested, I did stream the game recently.

Yay! Victory for scaring children! cough… I thank you very much for playing!

As far as time… there’s a clock on the wall behind the reception desk in the office. It displays the in-game time. When that strikes 6, your shift is over, for better or worse. That said, I can totally understand the clock can be easily overlooked. It did pop into my head at one point that I should put the clock in every room, and I did intend to do that, but then the idea flew out of my head with all of the other systems I was trying to get finished.

I agree with the hotspot issue. One of those short on time, issues, I’m sad to say.

A delightful take on Pacman! Over all, the game runs very well. The graphics were nice and clean, with a fun cartoony style to them I appreciated!

Picking up items feels a little strange. As if the sound effect triggers a little late or maybe is too soft? Can’t quite put my finger on it.

The shooting of the gun and the defeat of a ghost needs some animations. As it currently stands, the ghost simply disappears (no effect, no death animation), and the gun only seems to play a sound effect. Firing and defeating a ghost should have a little more spectacle.

Also, I think there should be a greater visual effect around the ghost making them easier to spot around corners. Several times I turn a corner and the ghost is just there and I loose. That kind of death feels less like a skill issue and more like not giving the player a clue.

Over all, though… very nice interpretation of an FPS Pacman game!!

I think this was a very pleasant game! While some of the graphics were a little simple, they all worked very well together. The story seemed well presented, and the mechanic of sharing your treats with your friends, while simple, was quite fun when I guessed correctly! I also like that there’s not just a type of candy they like, but bonus points for giving the specific candy!

Speaking of the candy… wonderful play on the candy names and descriptions! I enjoyed that humor quite a bit! Who don’t love Reanuts Peanuts ;)

The only real glitch I encountered (and I have not finished the game proper, to be fair) was that some conversations mixed up or down-right used the wrong portraits in the dialog. That confused me briefly at one point, but, otherwise didn’t detract much from the game!

Also, one idea I had… not that it would change the gameplay or story at all, but to add a little extra “juice” to the experience… is when Boo hovers under a lit lamp, they should be a little transparent (to remind the player Boo is actually a ghost). Nothing major… just a little sight gag!

Still, very nice work to all on the team!!

Over all, I think this is a decent puzzle game. I think the aesthetics work very nicely, and the sound design was good.

That said, The instructions were not entirely clear for me. The part about “If the anomaly is removed I should try sleeping again.” suggested to me that I should remove the anomalies before sleeping, which isn’t the case and threw me off for a little.

I will admit that my confusion over the detection tools on the left and removal tools on the right was partly down to my mind not clicking with the statement (as in, it totally didn’t register with me through no fault of the introduction).

If you were to continue working on this project, I think an optional tutorial “level” would work very well. Basically, tell the player exactly what to press to detect the tutorial ghost, where in the journal to find the what to do about it, then exactly what tool to use to remove the ghost. Something for the smooth-brained players (such as myself) to get an active idea on what’s expected of me.

As I said in my stream, I could see this being a cozy little phone game. Chill on the couch with a phone out and just try to remove the ghosts!

A masterful entry… truly! While I still have not fully finished the game yet, even as it stands, I would think price well paid had I spent a few dollars on this work! The art, writing, sound, and voice acting were excellent, especially for a game made in 7 days!

If my arm was twisted, there may be very small things I could point out as maybe needing a little work, but, again, for 7 days, anything I could point out would be a petty nitpick. So, ultimately, I have nothing.

If I was to comment on anything, it would be that some of the attacks (especially from the player), don’t have a weighty enough sound effect behind them (except the beam… I, and others, liked the beam sound). I’m thinking, specifically, of the blue bullets. They feel a bit lifeless.

Thank you very much for playing my game! Yeah, that CRT shader is rather nice. I, sadly, didn’t make it. I found it on godotshaders.com … it does the CRT and fisheye warping in a single shader. I can only wish to be that skilled in shaders some day.

I do agree with the fast forwarding option. It was just something I never thought off when I was putting the game together. It makes sense in hindsight. Also, I would have loved to have added at least three more levels (a nice, round 10), but I just didn’t really have the time. I’m kinda slow when it comes to figuring out puzzles (and I noticed someone solving level 6 in a way I didn’t predict).

Hehe… I hope the structure of the code was interesting enough to make up for the time and effort to grab it!! I try to keep things organized, but, the further into a jam I go, the more duct-tape code I end up slapping in there.

This was a really fun game with a great concept!! Very well made!

As silly as this sounds, I was really happy to see both a settings/options menu and an exit button! lol

I think my only suggestion (and maybe it was there and I missed it) would be to toggle whether or not HP is fully regenerated each round or not. If a player has a hard run with one boss, but still wins, it feels a little unfair that the boss gets stronger AND a full health bar while I, the player, start off handicapped. That said, I do understand some would love this challenge… which is why I suggest a toggle at the beginning of a full run.

Beyond that, this was a wonderful game! Excellently done!

Well crafted game with some nice mini-games during the crafting.

My one issue was, picking things up and putting them in the stations felt a little hit or miss. This wasn’t a huge deal and it was easy enough to try again, but about half the time I tried putting something in the forge or smelter, I tended to drop it.

Additionally, the mini-game where you need to press SPACE as close as you can to the blue line… I feel that goes VERY fast. I get that is kinda the point, but even for this style of mini-game it felt very fast.

Otherwise, the graphics are very nice, the audio fits this game very well and the mechanics all work as one would expect!

Excellent work!!

This was really fun and a very cool interpretation of the jam theme!! I thought having to move around a character to roll your meatball was a nice change to the Katamari inspiration!

I think my one little gripe is the archers feel like they fire too fast, and (I’m not totally sure about this) they seem to fire THROUGH the meatball. For me, basically, when they start showing up, I die really quick. This could be a skill issue on my part, but it just feels the archers attack too quickly.

Other than that, this is a really good game!! Excellent work!!

This is a very fun game here! Simple to understand but with a nice little challenge to it. A great game if I’m looking to kill a few minutes or an hour!

The art is simple, but very clear to read. Everything does what one would expect them to do. I don’t think I have any real critiques I could make. If I was to comment on something, maybe a little more theming to the Main, Victory, and Failure menus. They seem to be using, predominantly Godot defaults. I say this, but this was a jam, so, I get timing would be a limiting factor.

Over all, great game!!
