A Starcadian Tiger has landed on a game called Insanity made by NightmaresDev, Syrsa, Sakari and Antsa for LudumDare! This is what the Tiger says:

Roar Roar Roar Grr Grr Roarrr

Wow, the Tiger must really love this game! Wait what's that? You don't understand? Let me translate it for you!

Translation: Woah! This game is really cool! It took me so long to find all the pills but when I did I was in for a big surprise! but don't worry #NoSpoilers!

It's really great. The map is cool. And #NoSpoilers is cool.

I like the look and feel, it reminds me of that Unity sample project with the zombie bunnies. The realtime lighting is nothing short of impressive. The theme is something deep and an interesting interpretation of the given inspiration. Moving around is quite fun from the top down perspective. It looks rather complete and of high quality. Cheers.

Creepy!

I liked the game, I would prefer if the game had better controls or maybe a different camera angle. However, that is just me. I really liked the jump scares. Very well done!!! I hope to see you in December for the next one!

pretty cool game, but sounds very loud. Good job)

I spent half my insanity finding how to open the door in the first room, haha, this ruined the mood a bit, but totally my fault for not reading before. Thanks for the goosebumps, nice game.

Don't like that the character change it's orientation when you stop moving. Don't like to be blocked by books on the floor.

kmce 2018-08-14 16:28

Oh my god what are you trying to do to me !! :D

Really well put together, graphics, audio etc, very nicely done. And I really liked the lighting in it. Only issue I had was trouble interacting with the pills sometimes. Overall I really enjoyed it.

The mood was solid, and the game did give me goosebumps, so props on the horror/theme aspect. I usually post a screenshot with my feedback but to leave the surprises unspoiled, I left it out. However not being able to see the player while the camera was not centered exactly on the player made navigating around in the dark very disorienting. The game should at least provide a center of reference for the player.

Wow that was scary! Nice atmosphere and sound , good Job guys !

@thebmxeur I was thinking about adding rigidbodies to the books but we didn't have enough to for it. Some books were little bit inside the floor so they would have flewn to the air so I removed rigidbodies from them.

Thanks for the feedback though

antsa 2018-08-14 17:24

@bloc97 I kinda agree with you. We should have made the camera follow a little bit faster. Thanks for the feedback

nightmaresdev 2018-08-14 17:29

@bloc97 This setting could have easily been done by changing a single variable. Yet we decided to keep it that way because other wise the flashlight was to visible when the screen became smaller.

Thank you for your feedback. We will most likely also update the game privately more to that will be posted here later. For the Ludum Dare we will obviously keep it as it is at this time.

Very nice game and good execution! The audio is killing, in a good way :-D I would have liked some sort of direction indicator or system but maybe that's the point to not have one. Great entry!

earnso 2018-08-14 20:18

Great game, nice sound, and is very immersive. It's great!

realmar 2018-08-14 20:38

So far my favourite game!! However, when my eye is almost depleted I feel like I almost have no chance on finding anymore pills. I would have not let it get so dark.

nightmaresdev 2018-08-14 21:15

@realmar My tip for that is to wait in the menu and Look at all the potential pill positions. And get like a rotation of where to go. Its the easiest way to "Win." WE didnt want to keep the pill locations in the menu, so you are lucky :3

awix 2018-08-15 08:26

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

ditzel 2018-08-15 08:42

Nice game. You can clearly see the efford you put into it!

matank 2018-08-15 09:14

Really awesome concept and great mood for this game! I managed to find 5 of 7 pills. From the comments here it seems like there's a nice surprise after finding all 7 but I got too claustrophobic eventually and can't do it. Would be great if you had a playthrough video so people who didn't manage to get through could see the ending :)

Anyway, great work!

alysson-moraes 2018-08-16 18:30

It's cool, I got scared a little.

abhis1kadian 2018-08-18 11:28

@nightmaresdev Great man i liked the game very much, the visuals, jumpscares, overall nice experience. though it would be better to change the camera angle and make it FPS, then it would have been an amazing experience.

antsa 2018-08-18 14:01

@abhis1kadian At one point we actually thought about adding fps but then there was something that made us not add it. Can't just remember what was it :/

rahim-pxr 2018-08-27 17:09

Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a
