Has some sort of Five Nights at Freddy's feeling, not as scary but more fun to play!

manicminer 2015-04-20 09:25

Is it possible to win? Cos I did not manage that :)

ajopart 2015-04-20 09:34

Hi ManicMiner. Survive until sunrise to win. Each time you find the demonic Teddy, the clock jumps one hour later. At 7.00 you will be safe

@Olias. Thanks a lot ! Five Night was an unintentional inspiration. I wanted the game more scary, but then realized it needs too much work to feel right.

thebigshot 2015-04-20 09:39

Great game. Im not sure if it has sound or not. BUt if it doesnt, sounds are very important for a game like this. Even the simplest sounds can go a long way to making a game great. Good game regardless :)

factorial 2015-04-20 10:21

Pretty tough, I wish there was a way to tell which bear was the target without clicking it.

bastienre4 2015-04-20 10:33

Interesting concept, i love the fact that the player can't move, he have to struggle with a torchlight only. Good :)

morgondag 2015-04-20 10:50

nice use of hidden areas.

ajopart 2015-04-20 11:07

Thanks for the comments. I wasn't optimist with this entry but you guys make me happier. Let's test yours now.

ccglp 2015-04-20 12:30

It's creepy! So I like it, good mood here, I hate teddy bears since Persona 4 (Not really)

designernap 2015-04-20 12:42

Nice idea but I didnt manage to complete it/win. I like light/dark gameplay too :)

helekopeter 2015-04-20 14:16

gr8 game.
there should be some kind of indication when you lose. and you should make a tutorial.

leandrus 2015-04-20 14:16

Hahahaha. love the game. very clever.
Need some creepy ambient music to be even greater game.
I died a lot at first. but i concentrate hard and got to keep alive until 6 am :D
Thanks for sharing the game.

lyxilion 2015-04-20 14:18

Nice game, but it's so hard xD

edve98 2015-04-20 14:22

I think that you did a very big mistake by not adding sounds. This game would be so much more with them...

ruka 2015-04-20 14:29

Managed to wake until 5->so many teddy bear->click everything->have a nightmare :D

I like the idea about player must memorize position and color.

ajopart 2015-04-20 14:42

@edve98 : Ho you know, that's not a mistake. But you are right. I just don't know how to create my own sound :-( More info in the post mortem coming soon...

cherrymochi 2015-04-20 14:49

It is very difficult to win!

igorfelga 2015-04-20 18:45

Nice game. Gameplay very fun and Graphics is OK!

jhell 2015-04-21 09:18

Hi, nice idea, I like this interpretation of the theme, and it is well executed. Good on the kid giving you hints on what to do, it brought me right into the "action".

However I think you can just click all the bears and find the correct one that ways? Maybe some sort of penalty would have been nice.

Also agreed that with sounds it would have been much more immersive :)

the4thcircle 2015-04-21 14:12

I didn't really get what was going on. I never made it to sunrise, it kept telling me none of the teddies were the right one, then one of the ones I'd already checked turned evil and got me. Happened about 5 times. No idea what was happening.

Might be a fun game but I couldn't make head nor tail of it.

ajopart 2015-04-21 15:20

@ The4thCircle : I fixed this bug. Thanks for your feedback, don't hesitate to try again

the4thcircle 2015-04-21 15:52

Hi again, I had another play and upped my score. I think I get what's happening now, that all the bears are stationary except the monster bear, but it doesn't move when you're looking at it. Pick the wrong one and the demon bear gets you.

You have to keep checking to see which ones move etc. Clever. However it seems there's another bug, after a few successes I picked wrong, and the demon bear seemed to fly off screen then I was left with only to bears in the room, neither of which were demons and I couldn't find the monster bear.

If you do develop this further, a room done in 3D with the torch illuminating things and the demon coming at you, that'd be jumpscare-tastic. Might seem a bit 5NAF, but the reason it works is that you feel more connected to a character if you see through their eyes.

ajopart 2015-04-21 16:01

@The4thCircle : Thanks you so much for giving it another run. I will hunt this bug asap, but maybe not update the game.
Concerning 3D, That can be a good idea but I will first master 2D and then try 3D

siryakko 2015-04-21 17:09

Nice entry :) A bit hardcore but addicting

dos 2015-04-22 00:01

Simple, yet engaging and not too easy. I like it!

strong99 2015-04-22 07:58

It's like a dark memory game. Enjoyed the horrific atmosphere.

bizm 2015-04-22 18:20

You made team BIZM flinch more than once! Great concept :) would love to have had some sound or creepy music.

xanjos 2015-04-22 18:27

This was harder than I expected but it's a pretty interesting concept. Also like others have said, some creepy ambient music would have improved the game a lot.

jesterswilde 2015-04-22 21:52

My ability to suss out the demonic nature of stuffed bears is apparently lacking. The best moment in the game is when I couldn't find the teddy, then swept over my bed and he was sitting right there. Not today deaddy!

schwiggy 2015-04-23 02:21

I can't believe something so simple resonates so well! I mean who hasn't sat there in bed as a kid and just stared out in the darkness, trying to discern what just made that noise or moved? Loving the mood and innovation here.

dejvo 2015-04-23 07:55

neat game. i don't like five nights at freddies neither this, but nice execution. it's a little too hard to figure out in time which is the one and you don't have much motivation to do so.

triplevisiongames 2015-04-23 09:07

That's really creepy. Even made me pretty scared with the simple graphics. I am a scaredy cat though. Good job!

deadfragment 2015-04-23 11:17

I really enjoyed this game! I spent it panicking about what teddy was about to attack me aha, loved the ways in which you could identify which one was the evil one (movement, colour change) and all together it made it a really fun game, also good use of an unconventional weapon!

rnlf 2015-04-23 13:32

Good take on the theme. The game is pretty hard, but managable. Very eerie.

hjalte500 2015-04-23 13:45

Pretty neat little game. Has a kind of five nights at freddy's kinda feel. Awesome

hexagore 2015-04-23 14:18

Really like this idea, although the counter never seemed to show that I'd found any monsters? I managed to survive until 5am before I made a mistake :)

embalaje 2015-04-23 19:01

Funny Game! Makes you relly nervous tryng to find the Demonic Teddy, subtle and very effective

Nice job!

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-04-24 21:31

Nice entry ! Can't managed to beat it but pretty addictive xD

aaronjbaptiste 2015-04-25 17:19

Great idea, really needs some music to set it off though.

taro 2015-04-28 02:40

Pretty decent game. The first jump sorta scared me. Audio would definitely be nice.

langouste 2015-04-28 15:51

Super game!

leafo 2015-05-01 10:19

Nice idea

gruhn 2015-05-02 18:30

I liked the concept and mechanics proposal. There might be some more feedback to players' actions.

jprogman 2015-05-02 21:42

There isn't any room for mistakes, and this game is very easy for me to make mistakes. I like the idea however.

megalink 2015-05-02 22:28

Awesome! I liked the game concept and it also is quite fun!

chaoseed 2015-05-03 00:28

Clever...kind of creepy! A bit simple, especially in terms of graphics, but it was definitely playable.

curial 2015-05-03 11:12

Well implemented rules and challenging game. Maybe a bit hard to understand wich teddy is different than others. By the way, great idea and an interesting game to develop for mobiles and kids target.

pietdagamer 2015-05-03 13:20

Great idea, some music would really help!

druid 2015-05-08 21:52

Wow! Pretty intense entry! I really want to play post compo version of this. I think your game has pretty big potential!

jk5000 2015-05-09 16:48

Nice and simple idea. Sounds and music to bring in the right mood, could be a great improvement.

goerp 2015-05-09 17:20

Brilliant game. Great story and mood and I like the graphics.
I would have liked the graphics to be bigger, and I find the game a bit hard.
If you would make the room a smaller size with bigger graphics I think the game could be even better.

Oh and some sound !

tompudding 2015-05-09 20:55

Fantastic idea. It's very tense towards the end, I died at 05:00 :(

arcturusdeluxe 2015-05-09 21:52

Interesting mechanic for a game, though once you've sussed it out its quite easy if you just keep an eye on all the teddies until one of them moves. It's still really cool though. Would be nice if you added some spooky ambient sounds as well.

camilleh 2015-05-10 02:07

This was pretty fun to play, though it took a few tries to understand. Audio would make this one really spooky! A really good idea, nice job :)

igoramendola 2015-05-10 06:42

Fantastic! I've played like 10 times and I still can't finish it, but I really liked it. The gameplay is very interesting and it has a cool unconventional weapon ^^

infernalad 2015-05-10 20:33

Scary and fun, GJ! :)

tughan 2015-05-10 21:25

Real nice game and hardcore. One of the games I've genuinely enjoyed. Good job!

sergi-montaner 2015-05-10 22:35

Wow, this was tense.
There was a moment i found a bear on the pillow next to the kid and I felt scared, stressed and hurried to click it.
The only problem that I see is that it is not clear when you are doing right or not. I just died and I didn't know what I did wrong.
Mood is awesome, but it needs more sound

zeriver 2015-05-11 08:34

Really nice atmosphere for such small game, i genuinely felt the pressure and was constantly looking for evil teddy bear. Kinda reminds me of Five Nights at Freddy's. Really fun gameplay and nice mechanics. Game could use some audio and maybe better graphics, but i understand time limitation. I hope you will expand on this idea because this game definitely has potential.

wg_phancock 2015-05-11 10:43

Played it for awhile, it's actually quite fun. I'm not exactly sure how it works...it seemed red teddies were bad...sometimes? Other than that, though, hunting for them with the little flashlight was fun.

mossy-frog 2015-05-12 00:54

Very spooky, reminds me of FNAF. i jumped when one flew towards me haha. Nice entry
