Really great atmosphere in this one. Little bit rough around the edges--too difficult and the goal's a bit unclear IMHO--but I really enjoyed the haunting ambiance. Good work!

Unplayable. When I hit enter it crashes.

This game has a really well set mood. I felt that moving backwards after attacking was annoying.

I liked the mood your game had. The tileset and music came together to make something eerie. The attack animation was a little jarring since it shook the screen and moved your character back.

I like this games style!

And this is a game I like to play on ld contest. The mood is great, yet I feel sorry for the boy. He died many times...

You really got he atmosphere right, it really felt spooky. But the combat was really weird and i didn't even really know why i was dead suddenly.

While the idea was great I quickly got lost and wandered around, not knowing what to really look for etc. Then I just died. The mood was great, but implement a map or something.

Great graphics and mood. Good work

Pretty hard to distinguish walls from ground. More contrast on their value would do the trick.

A good habit is to take a screen and transform it in black and white ;)

The tense feeling is really great in this game. I enjoy it a lot!

Creepy! Good atmosphere, I think it would have been nicer to play if the light rotated slowly and the camera wasn't so jumpy, apart from that I got really immersed, good job!

Good sounds, but I noticed that you didn't implement a way to queue and limit the amount of sounds played at once - you could hit a pile of dead blob-things and it would play 10 hit sounds all at once, resulting in a really really loud and stuttery sound that hurts the ears.

Loved the environment and the mood, great graphics (especially that title screen I love it), great music, and cool game overall! c:
