GODDAMNIT. I spilt all my coffee when the first ghost screamed. That was some DAMN FINE audio improvisation my friend.
This is LD#21 most scary submission till now.
But I agree with the other comment, the game is really fun, albeit hard.
Congrats! CongratsX2 as this is your first time!
Horrifying audio. ;) Fun (but hard) little game!
Looks cool, but the screen scrolls at about half the speed that my character walks. Anyone else having that problem?
The scrolling speed is not actually a bug. I just wanted to encourage the player to progress carefully and not rushing too much. Didn't have the time to tweak the scrolling speed thought, it may be a bit slow..
Thanks for your comments :)
My heart is crashed because of the sound they make... uhh.
And it's impassible to avoid them to get the first key imho, so this is no fun for me.
Good gravy! Heard the first ghost and jumped outta my skin, accidentally hit a bunch of keys (which flipped desktop spaces on my Macbook Pro), and promptly died (in game). Job well done!
Dude, rock on for the nice lighting effect and animated main character. I died near instantly though to specters three or four times in a row, couldn't figure out how to avoid them. Still though, nice entry, just ease people in a bit.
Dood this rocks! really nice entry. Nice mechanic, trying to run away from ghosts is quite scary. Good use of sounds and lighting to build a compellingly scary atmosphere. Although I like a good challenge but this game is perhaps a touch hard to start.
This is hrad, but fun. Especially the introduction (but isn't it speeled "spectre"?
The atmossphere is also well done.
The sound design was good :-)
My only grief with the game, is that I got killed by ghosts too many times while walking near de edge of the camera field of view. It would be better if the camera was centered on the player.
Amazing entry. The only problem is the resolution. On monitors with smaller screens, you can only view a portion of the game.
Oh the horror! :D Excellent entry, took me few times to learn to escape from ghosts (nad yeah, it might be a bit too hard)
I eventually got pretty good at avoiding the ghosts. But is there an end to the game? I got to the bottom right corner and you could just leave the map. Pretty awesome lighting. Congrats
@Canyon I edited the description of the game, I failed my final trigger, so the ending won't launch even if you reach the exit, sorry <_<
Interesting mechanics. Looks promising, but unbalanced as it is. Sounds were too loud for my liking.
And game wouldn't fit in my browser window.
Anyway, good job!
Found this really hard, maybe too hard to be lots of fun.
"Sounds were too loud for my liking. And game wouldn't fit in my browser window."
I beat it and nothing happens =(
Damn you! I had my headphones on quite loud and then it screamed >_< Nice work! Hard game, but I may go check my pants now after that rather loud scream -_-
Loved the graphics and the whole mood of the game. It really gives you the feeling that you need to escape from that place quick before it drives you nuts. The sound annoyed the hell out of me. Difficulty is kinda high though.
apart from the resolution problem, this game is terrific. the atmosphere especially! i was nervous playing it!
Loved it! Screen resolution too big, tho :P
Looks great. I was really shocked at my first contact with a poltergeist. The game is very hard. You have to be so cautious to avoid the ghosts.
ahah! this game scares me so much !!
Gotta be the scariest entry yet! :-)
