Wow, good mood building! I like how you have to control the heart rate, it really keeps you on edge. But the button mashing for the flashlight became really annoying after a while and made me stop after I died a few times. Really cool atmosphere building, graphics and audio work though!

An interesting game, definitely combines incompatible genres. Starting off I didn't realize you were supposed to be walking so was just trying to figure out what I was supposed to be seeing while standing in place. Next the first floating guy sometimes would just not go away and you can't just walk through him so he became more irritating than scary. You also kill yourself a heck of a lot faster than anything when you hit wrong beats, would perhaps benefit from larger range of "hit" area but less benefit the further from on beat you hit it. Didn't manage to get to the end but enjoyed playing.

Really hard to keep that heart beat, but they jam theme it is. Crepy and I think it is good as it is horror game, good work!
Pls check our game too https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/ultimate-game-simulator

Very interesting. I like the concept, you combined things that really work in the genre of Horror!

Nice idea, good relize! 5/5 !!
Loved the concept, but I quit pretty fast because I couldn't see anywhere and at some point my heart just goes all over the place.

Super pretty and moody! You really nailed the theme with this one. I didn't get very far though as the game was too hard for me to control. Like playing piano and drums while walking, scared. I think the horror part would be a good game by itself. Good job!
I really liked the idea of managing your heart rate, but keeping the flashlight on got tiring after some time. Nice game!
Loved the mood and the concept. The balance between mechanics was very interesting. I found myself staring at the bottom bars a little too much, maybe a UI closer to the center of the screen (ala Portal) might let the player keep an eye on the 3D area while still being informed of what the 2D UI shows.
I liked how the mechanics reinforced the mood of the game at times. Kinda panicky :P
Y'know what? That was a really cool game, given the circumstances! You guys somehow merged a clicker and a horror game, and used it to your advantage. Very well designed! Atmosphere was top-notch, thanks to the choice of sound and good graphics... not to mention the heartbeat thing. With a bit of polish, this could be a really spoopy game, for sure. Bravo, and well done~

Cool! 9000/9000 my heart will go on
Works totally great! The visuals are cool af and the two concepts are very well integrated. It costs a bit to catch it at the beginning but if you play for a while it's very simple. My congrats!
My arm is so tired right now I can barely write this comment... Game was fun and the combination did not work at all (Well done!) A bit short (thankfully!!) and could have been a bit darker and more moody music but well done!
My heart is still racing. I was not expecting that first enemy total freaked me out. Great game.

Loved the concept. I don't understand why I keep dying. I've tried clicking really fast and slow and medium and I keep getting a gameover screen. I tried moving into the corner, or going to the door or window. just game over.

@Ripter You have to press Spacebar on each heartbeat to restore your health level, but there is a penalty if you miss the heartbeat.

Interesting concept. Fits the theme really well and the atmosphere is well done. I'd suggest maybe adding an option menu for the mouse sensitivity but other than that a really well made game.

That was really scary, nice sounds and effects. I was too stupid to figure out what to do in the game and I kept dying all the time. But still enjoyed the game, well done!
This one is genuinely spooky, some smart ideas that work both really well together and keep well with the LD41 theme. Be still, my beating heart!
This is a fantastic submission! Excellent graphics and ambient audio that creates a genuinely creepy atmosphere. Good use of the theme. I thought the heartbeat mechanic was fresh. Very polished presentation - excellent work all! Scariest game from the jam I've played so far.

Very Spooky and engaging. Very well done. Concept is excellent. I would like to see more save-points rathar than starting from the beginning when you die + controller support. More importantly, I would like you to continue making this more than what it is now!!!. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is the best theme combination I have seen so far. I normally can not horror games (I am a pussy) but all the focus on the clicking made it bearable. Good mechanics and fun to play.
Good job! Cool game!
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.
