Thanks, I didn't need any sleep tonight. Good works as always. This genuinely creeped me out. Sorry to give the low score on humor. This is more terrifying than funny.

The moment I seen that roly poly lookin' fella roll over the window I knew I was in for a good time! Great job guys!

robowarrior1982 2019-10-09 05:30

I like this one ! The idea is very great, the Pixel art is amazing ! The retro sound and music work perfectly with it ! Great job !

saucygames 2019-10-09 08:58

cool game, old school cod zombie sfx reminds me of, zombie-monsters could come in faster for the some quicker gameplay

selkkie 2019-10-09 09:58

Fantastic game, really rad aesthetic, and on-point gameplay. On my first playthrough, I ended up missing searchable objects beyond what the tutorial text told me, so I died to a monster confused in total darkness (I'd only lit the one candle and let the whatis text guide me). Once I started uncovering chocolate and other weapons though, it became a lot more fun trying to balance between searching, equipping, and shooting.

Awesome job!

Wow, solid entry with great music, art and I had a lot of fun playing it ! Realy addictive :smile:

thatmalzan 2019-10-09 11:31

Your artist needs to talk to a therapist. Other than that, definitely among the most well put together games I've seen yet.

velvetlobster 2019-10-09 12:07

the art style is amazing as always. the mood is perfect as well. I ended up dying a lot because I tried to get my matches back and then I could no longer find ammo.

I learned that in a zoombie infested house, never let go of your gun

The art was made by LumpyTouch so obviously I had to play. The audio is really great as well.

This is clearly a good game, but really need some polish as well. It was really frustrating at times when I just wanted to reload but the camera move so I wasn't on the ammo box anymore, and it happens many times and with almost all interactable objects. Maybe I should have played the web version on fullscreen ?

Other than that, it was fun and difficult ! I hope to see this game updated !

lomna 2019-10-09 13:31

Art of this game is just amazing. Mechanics are simple and also fun. Shows how simple games can also provide an engaging experience.

svipal 2019-10-09 16:46

this is really damn good, and so hard

cybersoftuk 2019-10-09 16:53

Initially drawn in by the great artwork, so simple so effective, the game is really fun to play and i like how difficult it is to multi-task and make use of only 2x inventory slots, music really fits too, not sure how many nights there are because i died which i didn't mind (awesome game over screen). I will be playing this again!

maaya 2019-10-09 17:00

Love the art, music fits the game well, too! Great entry!!

team-on 2019-10-09 18:23

Impressive art and souns! Obwiously not miss on theme. Its too hard to manage that all blood, doors, windows and guns, so it feels challengling. Strong 5 on mood

rebecca-harrison 2019-10-09 18:50

Really awesome work! Love the chunky look of the pixels. Really brought some retro vibes. I only made it to night 2 though because I was too stressed XoX

spidamoo 2019-10-09 19:56

This is a really nice piece, maybe too challenging I'd say. The theme is not so strong in this one I'd say :)

bocodillo 2019-10-09 20:10

Gorgeous artwork! The gameplay is really good, constantly tense. The music is very good as well, has real horror film vibes to it.

fear-games 2019-10-09 20:13

Gorgeous game, Great gameplay. Love this game

jefvel 2019-10-09 20:21

At first it seemed to be one of those escape the room point and click games. But instead I got to shoot a bunch of monsters. That felt good. Really stressy though! Maybe there could be some short periods of calm, like 5 seconds of sunlight when you can take a breath. Very nice death explosions of the enemies :thumbsup:

Can you win the game or will does it continue forever?

gauphastus 2019-10-09 23:36

Very solid. I like it.

navrcl 2019-10-10 07:26

Very well made! Had fun. Great job!

purrseus 2019-10-10 11:37

Insanely atmospheric, fun and engaging, absolutely stunning.

nickzangus 2019-10-10 12:36

Great game! I love the atmosphere. Simple gamplay but really fun. Nothing to change. Nice job!

luc-dercourt 2019-10-10 13:55

Really good entry, good in every aspect ! I like it ^^ !

dmanzano101 2019-10-10 15:42

Nice entry! Survival fits the theme and also having only one item to hold makes the experience a lot harder. Really nice graphics and audio as well. Great job!

deepnight 2019-10-10 16:30

One of my favourite LD45 entry so far :)

It reminded me a lot of games like Prohibition on Atari ST, but with a great amount of strategy. I loved the "where the f** are my matches" moments! Simple and efficient mechanics, great art style and sound design. My only grief is the connection with the theme which is quite thin here imho.

Anyway, amazing job on this one!

saintheiser 2019-10-10 17:47

Very atmospheric game! Like the mood and items managment. But I haven't required reactions to manage everything. Visuals and sound is great! Thanks you for entry!

sometimesghost 2019-10-11 00:41

One of my favorite so far! A but stressful for a Thursday night, but hey, I now have a solid option for Halloween. =)

bearlikelion 2019-10-11 02:16

Challenging but great art and sound!

lepletier 2019-10-11 05:55

Amazing game! Very fun!!!

porocyonak 2019-10-11 08:04

wow this game is BADASS! love it!!

dimesto52 2019-10-11 09:10

very good atmosphere ^^

emmyoop 2019-10-11 14:46

Liked the audio. Controls were a bit confusing - mouse vs WASD for screen movement.

danielclarc 2019-10-11 15:30

AMAZING!!! LumpyTouch art is always on point, but the rest of the team didn't fell back by a little. The idea of fending off monsters and bunkering in a house is something really appealing to me cuz it's always my favorite horror movie trope xD. My favorite game in this LD for sure. Having to keep the lights on and remembering where I've left everything was crazy fun! :D Thanks for the awesome game, congrats!

exilegl 2019-10-11 17:48

Love the sound effects! Goes well with the artstyle. I wasn't able to find any ammo after the beginning box across the couple plays I did, but maybe just me. Combat is fun and the lighting is well done too. A score at the end when you die would be cool.

neonlare 2019-10-12 04:08

Excellent mood and the music's great, the sfx are a smidge loud though, absolutely digging the art style and the game's pretty damn on point, digging it all around!

martynas 2019-10-12 18:38

You managed to pull off horror in 2D, congratulations!

humphreysmedia 2019-10-12 23:42

Great arcade theme! The indication to tell player where zombies are coming in was super helpful! Ammo ran out a little and audio was a smidge load, but other than that I can imagine this being on an arcade machine, like Rampage and Street Fighter! Great job!

negator2vc 2019-10-13 09:12

Amazing game!!! Excellent gameplay. Searching the room for weapons, tools, etc. when also try to fend off the comming monsters was amazing experience!!! And very polished game too!!! The retro pixelart graphics was great with fluid animations!! And with amazing sounds and music to complete the experience. Just out of curiosity is there a end or you just try to survive as long as you can? One last thing change the LD game to show that the game is also available in **WEB version**. I almost didn't try this gem because of that!!!

oillen 2019-10-13 20:13

what shall i say about it? :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: :dvd: ,found this initially by browsing through itch, and thought this would be a game someone put a lot of time in it, later i figured out it was made for ludum ...

rebtf 2019-10-14 06:04

I loved the little exploration aspect at the start where you had to find all your available resources.

The looping horizontal scrolling was great but I felt like the vertical scrolling didn't add anything to the game. It slightly added to the exploration at the start but often just got in the way when I was trying to fight off the enemies. So in a way it did add to the frenecity of the game, just not in a satisfying way.

Great art, I thought I recognised the artist and sure enough I had seen his garfield gameboy video.

darefus 2019-10-15 14:43

hell ye, really enjoyed this one. graphics were super consistent, spooky, n immersive, audio on point, gameplay just right.

jam373 2019-10-16 19:49

This is fantastic. Absolutely the best 2d game to capture that survival horror essence (probably better than most 3d ones too).

kaeveris 2019-10-17 18:34

That's super well done! The graphics are amazing! The atmosphere is great, I got quite scared at first monster XD

acronaut 2019-10-18 02:38

Ugh, Creepy Headcrabs! Nice touch on the chocolate bar mechanic :smile_cat: Tactfully ration the bars for health. It would be nice to move around candle, or have a random chance to torch the creature. Feels-off at times 'repair' windows & doors. Great work on the pixel-art! I don't know if its endless or there's a night-cycle to survive as long you as can till dawn.. (Apparently a text signalling another day approaches..)

The Knife didn't seem clear for its reach besides the sound-cue of its swinging action. Just add more animations (more pixel-art frame based animations instead of the tweened smooth scaling; e.g- clean up of the spillage; and progress bars [segmented or pixel-frame-based); (unless you have some shader to pixelate + dither?) :thinking: . One bug that triggered me [no pun intended] is the swap between the weapon (machine-gun) and toolbox, somehow whenever the weapon gets swap-positioned on the fireplace you could no longer pickup the weapon. Despite some minor rough-edges, pretty solid entry! :thumbsup: :dizzy:

asfdfdfd 2019-10-20 20:26

Astonishing art and great gameplay! One of my favourite entries.

brokenmirrormedia 2019-10-29 07:33

Wow this was really impressive, getting some House of the Dead vibes, obviously, but there was so much to the gameplay here I was blown away, with things like multiple weapons, keeping candles lit, repairing the house, and even cleaning up the mess you make, it's a really well polished game, and super impressive work!

elysiagriffin 2019-10-30 02:14
