Great audio and take on the theme! One suggestion I have is to slow the enemy down and give the player some health points, the first time I encountered the enemy gave me an abrupt end.

Nice graphics and gameplay!

haro-games 2020-04-20 13:37

@ioan-pop and @cristinemrak thank you for your feedbacks !

Nice sound, good theme. Didnt expect the wolves to 1shot though.

joaquim-2009 2020-04-20 13:38

Relly nice just a little bit boring at some times

i liked the graphics especially the enemy design, the audio was great, the only real point was the enemy speed like loanpop said

vex 2020-04-20 13:40

The art is lovely, the sound is quite good. I'd love health points or a similar system (like you only die if you are twice consecutively, for example).

Good job

Great take on the theme, and good all rounder. A nice short but well rounded experience.

A few notes, I played the web build, it seemed quite difficult to click on the wood and campfires, not sure if thats a build issue or a clickspot issue, it resulted in me dying a few times because I couldn't light a campfire and my torch ran out.

Once you hit the halfway point I guess the map feels a lot more open but I don't feel im going the right way as I run out of wood to pick up or fires to light, it becomes this dash to the house at the end.

Still a very good enjoyable game. Well done.

@rirdeg thanks for the feedback, you have to stanb on the wood to pick it up, maybe it's not very obvious :/

Great Job, graphics are good and the gameplay is intuitive The atmosphere is really good with dark halo

simonbeats 2020-04-20 15:02

Cool atmosphere and take on the theme and the artstile is cool too. The abrupt ending when you touch a wolf is kind of irritating though.

@millhow @simonbeats thank your for your feedbacks !

pinballjunior 2020-04-20 15:16

Great art and atmosphere. Overall fun simple game that looks good.

@pinballjunior @izhvaryag thank you for your feedbacks !

Really nice game and take on the theme. The art style is cool, especially the enemy character design, it scared me for the first time seeing it come towards me!!!

asue 2020-04-22 08:14

J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance du jeu, que ce soit par ses visuels ou par les bruits environnants. Les loups sont très biens réalisés. La transition quand on meurt et qu'on revient à l'écran titre est un peu brutale par contre x) Belle réalisation en tout cas !

haro-games 2020-04-22 08:48

@asue merci pour tes retours ! la transition est un peu rude en effet et il faudra la polish après la jam

francisco-caal 2020-04-22 12:08

Good game. Controls are responsive and graphics and audio are also at good level. The only problem I see is that once you've been spotted is almost impossible to survive as you get killed with only one hit.

haro-games 2020-04-22 12:46

@francisco-caal thanks for the feedbacks, the difficulty will be reworked after the jam

zzox 2020-04-22 18:44

Liked the graphics and feel, kinda scary! Good work

eduardogacn 2020-04-23 06:36

nice game

teamindot 2020-04-23 12:04

Im not sure I found an exploit. if I turn to the wolves they run away, so I just walked back to the end of the level.

furfel 2020-04-23 12:15

I really enjoyed this game. Great graphics with great effects, mystery in the darkness sets a special mood. What I would consider adding is some more audio (for example for the wolves) and reworking the graphics - this painting style is picturesque but visible done in a hurry

haro-games 2020-04-23 12:22

@zzox @eduardogacn Thanks for playing !

@teamindot did you looked at them with the torch ? maybe it's a bug :sweat_smile:

@furfel thanks for the feedback !

teamindot 2020-04-23 12:50

@haro-games hey, yeah, but my torch was out. I may have accidentally glitched it cause I was a bit lost with the controls.

haro-games 2020-04-23 13:26

@teamindot thanks for the precision, we'll look into that :)

krakadushka 2020-04-24 18:01

An interesting concept with a fascinating soundtrack, but there are drawbacks. In my opinion, the plot is not disclosed: it begins well, but ends too suddenly at some unknown stage. I also didn't like the torch fading too quickly, but it's true, a quibble ;) I think it would be even cooler if you added the sound of monsters, because they feel like cardboard))

haro-games 2020-04-24 18:30

@krakadushka thanks for all the feedbacks ! They are really aprecciated

sztrovacsek 2020-04-25 12:46

Nice atmosphere, and good graphics, I really enjoyed this one. Being alone at night in a forest with a fading torch sorrunded by wolves is a pretty calming experience! :smile:

sebeee 2020-04-26 17:54

I like it

jin9310 2020-04-28 10:16

Really nice entry, and I especially love the tension when you know that the light is going to die, and you don´t know if you´ll be able to make it to the fire. Good stuff, great job!

avi 2020-04-29 14:05

Really fun game :) i liked the graphics and the glowing effects used on the sprites. Good job!

gurbx 2020-05-02 17:39

Very nice job with the mood! The look of the game is also very unique and nice! Good job!
