Really clever and spooky puzzle game!

evannex 2015-12-14 03:16

Nicely done, and super challenging!

I would love to play it if you can make a mac or web port :)

I'd have liked a Linux build... And this doesn't seem to be at all compatible with WINE (It crashes on startup). But the graphics look pretty neat from the screenshots. It looks like a roguelike and I like roguelikes.

Interesting. I had a hard time figuring out how to defend myself, though.

fuzzywuzzie 2015-12-14 04:14

It oddly reminded me of the old-school Wolfenstein games. I never got very far though as I was too slow to outrun anything and too shitty to dodge :(

No music and had nothing to do with the theme of growth. At least you only had two "actions" (dropping items and using them) but then you still had the arrow keys so this doesn't really qualify for either theme. Almost enjoyable.

I would have loved more levels.

No 32 bit version? :/

manabreak 2015-12-14 13:54

Awesome! I love the graphics style, so minimalistic which brings its own funny things (like carrying a huge-ass key over your head :D). Nice job overall, just could have used some music. :)

pete_h 2015-12-14 14:39

Loved the aesthetics, but couldn't work out how to defend myself :(

The camera is way too slow. I have to either wait for it or die venturing into the unseen. Also, I'm not sure how it implements either of the themes.

transmit 2015-12-14 15:32

It was very interesting, but I don't really know how it relates to the theme? My one complaint would be the camera seems a bit too slow to follow you

eruiz00 2015-12-14 16:09

Yeah more levels. Graphics simple but effective for a simple yet effective too concept.

napoleon 2015-12-14 16:20

good game

pl0xz0rz 2015-12-14 16:26

The gameplay is fun, but the game has nothing to do with the theme.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-14 16:34

Who am I? What do I have to do? Focus the camera on the center of the character. The deaths are too cheap because I can't see the enemy.

realbogart 2015-12-14 16:58

@Akhera, @nunesbarbosa: The slow camera is a bug (it isn't dependent on the frame time and I had 1000+ fps while developing)

Will upload a fix

Found a gun. It didn't help a lot. ) Very challenging, perhaps some balancing (or save/load option) would make gameplay more enjoyable. Visual style is nice.

pinion 2015-12-14 19:51

I won! Walking diagonally and waiting on corners seemed to be the trick.

pluberski 2015-12-14 20:01

Nice presentation!

zeezgames 2015-12-14 20:37

Nice little game , good puzzle type made me think and redo parts numerous times :)

Graphics - not bad but was glitchy especially when moving upwards and player animation seemed wrong when back to camera shoes purple part of one side?

overall i liked playing it

Well Done!

elit3dgaming 2015-12-14 23:46

Love the challenge, love the simplistic art style and is very fun to play

blohod 2015-12-15 02:53

A few graphical glitches and what about the theme?

mitya1234 2015-12-15 09:38

I've liked the graphics.

edriavw 2015-12-15 10:09

finally figuring out what to do, great game, need more levels

mistakoo 2015-12-15 15:40

Apparently I need a dll to run it.

blackbird806 2015-12-17 22:08

A very challenging game, the design of monsters and of the character is very good. Nice game =)
