The theme and style is cool, like the mood and audio. Took a second to figure out how the movement worked. I did find my hat!

mmayans 2024-04-15 05:29

The art style is super cool. This is a cute silly game, great for a gamejam. I liked the sound effects and it was cool how a new ghost guy got summoned each time i died lol.

Alt is not a great keybinding for a game in the webbrowser, though going fullscreen made Windows/Firefox stop yelling at me.

Great art style! Love the vibe and the audio while minimal did a good job to set the mood.

I took a while to understand the controls and I gotta say even after I figured them out I do not like them. I usually don't mind "floaty" movement (e.g. I like the jumping in Ultimate Chicken Horse) but it never felt right here. Or maybe I'm just salty the AI opponent swooped and stole the hat from under me >:(.

mhanicos 2024-04-15 07:07

@timidger Thanks for the feedback! Didn't know about this Alt behavior.

That kind of movement is not our fault. I did normal controls, but you know, Cthulhu just really likes water and his floor is very wet, it adds that effect.

Also, I'd like to sympathize with you for losing your hat, but I'm just proud of my boy.

Really unique and humorous idea; although I found the spikes a bit hard to see sometimes

framboisedodue 2024-04-15 11:24

Very funny game, loved the graphics and the audio ! Although the AI seemed to try to take an alternative way (towards the end of the screen?), it was really funny to play with a friend !

robowarrior1982 2024-04-15 11:29

Nice art ! I love the colors !

mhanicos 2024-04-15 12:00

@framboisedodue I think it was intimidated by your fortitude and just decided not to fight back

jazkottaja 2024-04-15 13:16

cthulhu is looking fine O.o really fun little game! loved the concept and the 2 player element was fun :)

sobigdrasil 2024-04-15 13:31

@drpepperisgood thank you a lot for nice words! and the most important that you did found your hat... or the hat have found you?

@mmayans thank you, we are glad you like it :3 in the end you really can't die until you brought the hat to mighty Cthulhu

@timidger thank you for the feedback indeed 'alt' have cause problems, that will be a great lesson for our next project. Also thank you for nice words :3

@dinoraz oooh the visibility of spikes are on me... i could and i should make them more visible for player to see but in the end what can be funnier then a sudden death... right? :D

@framboisedodue hehe thank you!

@jazkottaja Cthulhu is quite a character i can tell you that :'D thank you a lot tho

Hey! the art is incredible, loved the feeling and weight of the movement.

misoukun 2024-04-15 14:05

The art is pretty cool. I'll never think about chuthlu the same again. Very funny.

worldofmush 2024-04-15 14:49

Love the art, but more than it the music! That background soundtrack gave such a good cult vibes it's crazy! Gameplay was fun too and cthulhu was cute. Enjoyed playing it

woona 2024-04-15 17:13

I loved the art! Chuthlu is adorable and I really appreciate the variety of different ghosts and props.

I didn't understand at first that some obstacles kill you and some can contain a hat. But now as I look at them, they don't look so dangerous, they have a different color and shape.

Other than that, I liked background chanting. Well done!

milq 2024-04-15 17:41

What a fun game, with its Wilhelm scream, ha, ha! The artwork is truly magnificent and keeps you thoroughly entertained as you search for the hat. What's great is that it can be played both solo and multiplayer. Personally, I find the controls a bit awkward, especially using the ALT key with WASD; it's a bit of a stretch for me. Despite this, I want to congratulate the development team on their excellent work—great game!

leo-nadeau 2024-04-15 17:51

Nice little game! Love art with the little cthulhu! Good work! Just for the record, I've mysophobia and the sound of mouth is difficult to hear for me :/ Good Work! :)

100th-coin 2024-04-15 18:49

This feels like it would make for a great 2 player experience. I was stuck playing against the AI, which was... in need of improvement. The artwork is delightful, and I love how many different designs there are for the characters you play as. The background audio was a bit ominous and distracting though.

Cool game! I recorded myself playing to provide extra feedback.

It took me a moment to figure out what to do but once I did I had a lot of fun ! For some reason, it is so addictive. I played solo but this must be so much with 2 players.

The only thing is that I had a bug when pressing alt, sometime it would freeze my screen for a few seconds ? No idea why.

Good game though

Very cool art style. I could imagine myself playing a more feature-packed version of this with friends.

Floaty movement combined with somewhat ambiguous hitboxes made the character quite hard to control. It got better over time but I think the controls could be a bit snappier in this type of game.

pusheeneiro 2024-04-16 02:12

Nice game and cool art style

castitatis 2024-04-16 02:37

wow that art style, it reminded me of cult of the lamb a bit, I love it

crylica 2024-04-16 04:25

i love the artstyle and the lighting engine haha, and looking at all the different variations for the cultists. The art is so polished, and the movement controls feel just right - a little bit slippery because of the ghostly-ness but not annoyingly hard to control. Great job!!

anderson-job-loeffler 2024-04-16 05:27

Uiauuuuiaaaouiaooauiuoao.

My god, the art style was so unique and awesome, every demonic figure has its own personality. Every one of them had its own cool design.

The demonic chanting was so good, it stuck in my head. It was both cute and disturbing.

The gameplay with its weird controls added a nice flavour.

Nice job, keep it up!

rogue-tomato 2024-04-16 08:02

Cool art style, promising concept!

hazard-game-dev 2024-04-16 09:51

I am glad to have fulfilled my destiny.

sodoj 2024-04-16 12:20

I was very confused at first when I started playing. The game showed me controls in one screen and then immediately booted me in another, I had no idea which entity I was controlling. Once I figured out what was going on however, I started having a lot of fun. I don't have anyone next to me right now to try it in coop, but I can see this being a great party game. The slippery movement threw me off at first, but once I got used to it it became a lot of fun managing the movement, I can also imagine laughing my ass of at my own or my friends clumsiness if we played it in coop. Neat visuals and very fitting background tune, well done!

olddog 2024-04-16 12:47

so good game art style and mood,wish for more content of this game,controller feeling not very well

peralllax 2024-04-16 17:19

The keybinding made me constantly go into menues in chrome and added the game as a bookmark, which I mean can be good I guess but should be voluntary lol, really good mood overall and the graphics feel consistent.

dywanix 2024-04-16 17:29

I had some troubles with movement but overall I have fun while playing this

pseudonclide 2024-04-16 17:53

Hahaha, I loved the audio for this one! Graphics are also so cool! I struggled a bit at the beginning trying to move to fast and dying on every spike XD. But then I slowed down, got it and it was really fun. Nice work!

nsadie 2024-04-16 18:47

Nice fun game! The hitboxes on the spikes are a little too unforgiving, but the controls are nice and smooth. I loved the look of all the different cultists. Good solid entry!

naplz98 2024-04-16 18:52

I finally found the hat. The sounds and music are superior, I laughed so hard! Great game!

noona 2024-04-16 21:11

Listened to Wilfelm's scream more times than in my entire life probably. Art is very eye-pleasing and seductive cthulhu is too powerful.

tomasaquistapace 2024-04-16 22:06

It's really fun! all I can say is that the use of the Alt key in a html game is really annoying, but leaving that aside it's excellent!

kirass 2024-04-16 22:28

Cool game, I liked it!

nubels 2024-04-17 08:28

Love the visuals and the music. The character controller feels a bit floaty though, dodging the spikes is very tricky.

rita-pressanykey 2024-04-17 21:38

Finally I've made my way to the cultist glory!))) Screenshot_1.png It's great that u made a game for 2 players, I didnt see another multiplayer participants so far. Art & music are also very-very satisfying. Great job)

I like his leg hair hahaha
