Love the art and vibe, whenever a red boy starts to chase me notification that makes the game unstable

dk5000p 2021-10-04 23:01

@str8griz Yeah, not sure what is causing the bug, but I guess it lends itself to the theme haha.

I like the music. Similar to the person above, game crashes when you hit a red enemy! Fun to play, good job!

It's unstable! For a reason :P

What are the controls? I can't move at all...

dk5000p 2021-10-04 23:28

@maxathon W,a,s,d might need to click in the window.

Not sure if the red bad boy dots are suppose to crash it, but I liked the music it was spooooky

@hcs-hades It was a rush build, didn't get to bug test maybe I'll check and upload a bug fix.thanks for playing.

5 stars for theme for uploading an unstable build. Very meta!

JK, will give it another go if you get a bugfix out. I actually thought I might be able to just never aggro a red and beat it but that's not the case.

dk5000p 2021-10-05 18:00

@peachtreeoath Yeah, with the shorter voting period this time I'll see if I get to a bugfix. Thanks for playing.

Unstable build. I tried to pass without approaching the red dots, but this is not possible :( We are waiting for the bugfix!

dk5000p 2021-10-07 12:43

@axonny I believe it is because it loses access to the target to follow.

ranseur 2021-10-07 13:20

Unstable indeed! ^^

Same as all else, unstable build :( the visuals, animations, and fog effect looks really nice though.

dk5000p 2021-10-08 18:35

@randomerz I guess I could just delete the red dots, but even then the game doesn't have a win state. Thanks for playing.

Another masterpiece. Hauntingly beautiful music, carefully chosen visuals and a meta implementation of the theme.

Let's start with the music. It, along with the atmospheric fog and dim colors really help create an atmosphere of dread and despair. Very suitable choice.

The visuals are a stroke of genius. Every grave, more identical than the last. This demonstrates that we are all true equals in death; just bone and rotting flesh. This being the case, it's also a stunning display of the human condition to have a ghost still chase riches (coins) after their life has long since passed.

Theme. I was actually wondering where the theme would come in. It wasn't obvious to me and so I kept playing and boom; an error that crashed the game. "Oh well", I thought to myself as I restarted and played again. Crashed once more due to the same circumstances. Then it hit me; the graveyard truly is unstable to the point that I cannot even progress further. What a clever work of art this is. 5 stars all round, as always.

@langotriel Thanks for playing. Yeah I was going to have the enemies explode, so they were unstable but really just did not have time. Ludum Dare crept up on me from nowhere.
