The intro art was quite nice. The concept of going deeper in to the underbed fears (or realities) of a child is a cool thought for sure. Some feedback: - The camera lags a bit far behind the player - The beasts don't follow the player aggressively enough! I feel like I have to keep teasing them. - The hit boxes for the walls are too big and it makes walking around corners feel tedious.
The kids art in the beginning was really effective, I think I will have nightmares now ahah Great work on storytelling and the game!
Nice small and atmospheric game, feels a little rough sometimes but the atmosphere here is the best part for me.
I really liked the atmosphere and the child-like drawings were awesome! Overall, the game is nice and fun to play, but it could use some little improvements. A few suggestions that I think could benefit the playing experience:
- the camera should be centered on the character in my opinion (it lags behind too much).
- the collision with the trees is too large in respect with their models;
- the highlight for potions/keys isn't obvious enough;
- the audio could use a bit more "love" for the main gameplay part, as it feels a bit empty most of the time. I am probably biased on this though, as I like very busy audio, so don't take this as a universal fact...
That said, I still enjoyed playing and the story and mood are very cool! Good job to the team! Cheers
I loved the art in your game, both in the cutscene and in game. Suggestion: make the camera move with or ahead of the player instead of behind. Very nicely done!
Nice entry! Loved the intro as it sets the mood for the game.
The gameplay could use a little more work as I fell that the hitboxes are a little too big that got me stuck sometimes.
Note: the attack sound is super funny xD
Of course I did! I'm not a monster! lol Monster under the bed.png
Really interesting visuals that help sell the idea that this might all be a child's imagination vs reality. I wish the camera move fast enough so that I can stay in the center since often I had to stop to allow the camera time to catchup so that I could see where I was going.
I did cheese it a few places since the hitbox is so huge on the enemies and they are not aware of you until you are like dead on their faces so I found a tree I could stay behind and just kill it before they could get to me - lol
Hey man! The idea of the game its very interesting. The controls works fine! Maybe to do a bigger music to not repeat to much and the camera could be faster. Also I coulnd use pot by myself, it was automatic. Good game, congrats for the work!
You should make the intro music longer, your version is like 2 secs long and it kinna loud when looping around. I love the sword swing effect and the monster looks horrifying, great job!
That had some potential since art is really nice and audio too. Subject is intriguing. There are a bunch of bad things quite game breaking imho. The first one is the camera: being faster thatn the camera is bad in sucha game hence you end up being unable to see what's right next to you; then combat give you literally no feedback so you have not a clear idea of what is going on. But you took over this really nice apealing atmosphere so overall is was a really nice entry I and thank you for submitting your work.
The game is good a little bit short but enjoyable my only problem would be the camera who lag too much behind the player, I really like the idea of that hand drawing style for the intro it really put you into the character being a child and going to save his brother, well done !
I liked the interpretation of the theme. The game is interesting, there are some points in the gameplay that need to be refined, but when it comes to a game for a game, everything is fine. The graphics and the music made me feel like I was in a megadrive game! It was nostalgic haha. In general the game is legal. Congratulations.
