Long Live Kipo!!!
Seriously though this was an impressive game. I have no idea how you made that much quality art in just 72 hours. The 2.5D style with the bookcases leaning back was also fantastic. The animations were also great and made everything feel more alive. The sound design was also fantastic and really helped set the mood. I do have a few pieces of critique but honestly most of them just come down to it being a game jam and you don't have time for everything. The first is that the game felt too easy. Ghosts were very easy to avoid and I never really needed to worry about the courage meter. Second is that the level design didn't seem too well thought out. It's serviceable but I would have liked to see more tight spaces or more areas where the ghosts could come at me in diffrent directions at once. Overall though I'm still amazed at how much you guys were able to do in just 72 hours so congratulations on making a great game!!!
Great art and fun idea
@whos-candice Yeah, we came down to the line submitting and I didn't get much chance to fiddle with packaging options to reduce the size. I might upload a smaller one in the next few days, alongside the official entry.
@amac It definitely would have benefited from another half day to balance the difficulty and tweak the AI. Originally the ghosts were going to have assigned areas, distinct behaviors, but like you say, the game jam has its limits :)
Oh wow, the artwork is fantastic! I seriously love the design of the main character, and all the spooky ghosts too! The head with spider legs is very unnerving. I like the added challenge of getting all the ghosts with limited film. Seriously great work all around! For more feedback, I recorded myself playing the game:

Edit: apologies for the poor framerate in the video. I played the game at 60FPS, don't worry!
Spooky. The art style is a mixture between very successful and trimmed by too little time.
really neat artwork and UI, I agree, if there was more time this would turn out much more polished
Kipo owns you all!
Wow, this is a great looking game to make in such a short time! Well done, color me impressed!
Awesome game. I love exploring haunted mansions. Great job guys! <3
The art is super cool.
Very nice game! The music with the art style worked really well together and the photography part was very easy to use! Everything ran very smoothly too so I really enjoyed it! I think the difficulty was fine personally too. I've noticed for game jams, leaning on the easier side of difficulty is always the best option as it just makes it accessible to everyone and lets you focus on showing off the core gameplay. I'd love to see a demo of ghosts having their own assigned areas like you mentioned in the comments if you decide to do a little more on this post jam but as it is, a very fun experience!
Long live Kipo! Had a good time playing this game. The camera mechanic is super interesting. Well done!
Kipo !! <3 Neet concept, Unreal is a little fastidious for 2D I sympathize haha Roll on LD52 !
Oh wow, this is simple but very engaging! Love the spooky art and the little delay on the camera feels very cool once you get used to it. Really compelling core concept!
Nice game! I liked the scary atmosphere you created, but it became a little funny when I realized I could make my mouse keep circling to get a full view LOL
Long live Kipo!
Nice entry, quite short but great mood and art 👍
I am not one to enjoy scary games often, but the art-style is nice enough for me to give it a try! Lovely work and a nice game for 2-3 days of work
The game is very addictive. I couldn't stop and pressed play again. I would like to note the graphics separately, I can't even imagine how you managed to do it in such a short time. The game is high-quality and interesting. The monsters are drawn cool, I liked the flashes of light that allowed me to look around. Coolly thought out
nice game, the graphics reminded me of dont starve a bit !
Wow the art work is unbelievable
