For a stick figure, the main character was actually pretty detailed and cute. I liked that you even gave him a little useless jump, I don't know why but it just added some life to him. I'm not sure I really got the narrative of the game, I was just messing around and next thing I knew, I'd beaten it. Some sound, even if it's just ambient noise, would really help with the atmosphere. Maybe start with a calm breeze, then a barely audible monster breathing, a jiggle of the door handle.

@shaolin-dave thanks so much for the feedback! i didnt have much time, so i couldnt add any sound effects or much context, but ill give some to you. your main character is a child who woke up in the middle of the night and he is scared that there's a monster hiding in his room. he tries to sprint over to his mom's room, but hes too groggy to even open the door. when he gets captured by the "monster" it was all just a flashback from 2 years ago. he gets up, still feeling sort of unnerved, and walks out of his room. this supposed "monster" was his abusive biological dad that went to jail 2 years ago. he currently lives with his mom, her unnamed boyfriend, and his brother. there were some limitations with construct 3, so i couldnt fit all of that context in there. sorry if i couldnt respond to your feedback in time.
