I think i got some chills playing this game. You guys set the mood greatly with the intro and music. Took me some time to undersdand that i needed to flash the light on the spiders in order to make them stay up and the game was a bit hard but overall a good game! Keep up the good work!

Exactly as @ganiester, well done !

Really cool concept! I love the animations, with some polish it could be really good! :D Btw I had too much fun running backwards while aming slighly upwards, he looks so fab doing that! :D Great entry, good job man!

Nice game. I felt like the animations were a bit slow. Also some kind of way to fight against enemies would have been useful. But I really liked the game apart from that. The graphics and music were great and the game had a spooky atmosphere.

Very nice game. I really liked the idea of a flashlight with a crank! Although for me I got kinda lost and didn't know where to go. Is the exit on the ground floor? Where should I go? What should I do?

Hint: there is a light switch somewhere. You have to find it.

Wow great atmosphere! The music, art and lightning create a really scary mood.

Nice atmosphere and the big monster is great 👍

Interesting twist on the hide from the monsters formula, the random doors also add replayability.

I really liked the art and the light mechanic. I was a bit confused by where I was supposed to go. I tried going through the only door I could find, but as soon as I did, the game would reset.

@tayopi: Then there was a monster behind it - you should be able to hear that while standing in front of the door.

Spooky:) Your first creature freaked me out a little bit! The sounds really set the atmosphere, I just wish there was more to the gameplay. I would continue after my death if it brought me to the last door I entered instead of restarting the game.

Pretty scary. And it looks really awesome. I just think that the spiders could have been a bit more forgiving. Maybe just a small delay before they start descending again after they got out of the light.

I loved the character design. Especially that monster with the crazy hand.

jaimuepe 2017-08-04 10:52 ♥ 3

The first monster was pretty cool. The lighting and background music helped to build a scary atmosphere. It took me a while to get that you had to flash the spiders so they wouldn't get you xD and the randomness was nice too. Good job!

goodzilla 2017-08-05 16:10 ♥ 3

Pretty funny monsters and good mood!
