Nice entry ! The game feels nice and smooth. I especially loved the side effect of hustling with the tiny black critters ;) Very nice experience overall, though it is quite difficult. I did not manage to gather the first five sprites.
Creepy bug! Pasted image 20241008173617.png I was still able to move and fly like that, but got stuck under the bed so restarted the game. It was interesting
Impressive amount of work in a weekend! Pretty gruesome health loss consequences, but fitting with the theme. I managed to rescue a couple sprites but died quickly afterwards. In the next games, the sprites were no longer there. Are they intentionally in different spots or was that a bug? Also, I fell into an under the bed area and couldn't get out so I think there might be a collision bug in there somewhere.
Nice atmosphere and neat concepts of having to juggle a couple different powers!
@machwerx The sprite spawns are randomized each playthrough. There are fixed positions where they appear, but which locations they appear at is randomly chosen.
The area under the bed is a known collision issue. It's been fixed and overhauled in 1.1.
Wow, crazy mood points, the music was intense! Great job.
Love this one! Good job on the mood, as other reviewers mentioned.
The main issue I encountered while playing was that I seemed to get stuck inside the monster sometimes and the camera would go all crazy with it moving around... but other than that, solid little game :)
Oh my God! I beat this game! At first it was unclear what and where to look, so I just explored the location and died... But, after finding the first one under the pillow I understood what to look for.
not sure what the point of losing half your body is, but good otherwise
@dosmike The idea was to add an element of risk to flying too high for too long. (You might note that you can run faster and jump higher while in that state - didn't want to make a run instantly unwinnable if that happened, just harder!) Also, picking up a sprite restores any damage done, so you're not stuck flightless (or magic-less) if the enemies chomp you.
I liked the scary ambience of the game and the character movement felt good. I was however a bit confused on whenever I was successfully hiding from the monster or not, seemed like it always saw me.
@tete It has two sets of eyes, one up top, one on the bottom! It has a *long* forward visibility "cone" (it's more like a straight line, really), but if its line of sight is blocked, it can't see you. You can also use invisibility magic to avoid being detected, or break line of sight when spotted.
Cool horror atmosphere. Losing my head scared me and was unexpected. In the web version, one fell under the texture next to the bed. And by the end of the game, when all the spirits were collected, it began to freeze. I really liked the models, animations and visual style.
Good game, got my upper half of body cuted off when tried getting on lamp... liked background and chasing music, that black things whatever they are cuted of my head... 5 stars
Loved Azulina´s design! I struggled a bit to find all the sprites but great job!
The character controls and the atmosphere are great. I like the contrast between the character and the enemies. I've been eaten a couple of times :D Well done !
Surprisingly spooky! Still not sure what invisibility is suppose to do, didn't feel like it did anything. Anyways, good job!
Got quite a few jump scares! Was challenging to get them all but I managed eventually. Got stuck in the pillow before I could get to the door though. I like the N64 esthetics and the music made the overall mood really creepy in a good way.
Very nice. Looks incredible, love the graphics and character design.
This is my biggest sleeper hit of this jam so far
Very fun, i liked the decision to make a horror game, and...blue fairy foxgirl
@ljol3 Thanks, she's actually supposed to be a cat! :D
Great atmosphere, spooky vibe! Azulina's design and controls are great. The flight mechanic stood out. Gj!
It gives me big memories of the old Toy Story games on Playstation, both in terms of setting and visuals. The flight mechanic feels nice especially with the timing and distance between obstacles in the room. I feel like the invisibility could use a little more feedback, such as when you first activate it and when the time is about to run out. After aggro'ing the patrolling giant and 'losing it' by hiding, the music continued to play as if I was still being chased, so I couldn't tell if I was safe to exit the hiding place, though that could be a bug. All things considered, a really great entry. Would collect sprites again, nice work!
Very spooky! The cute character and homey furniture made it all the more shocking when my head was bitten off! Well done.
Lots of props on the atmosphere for this, it was appropriately creepy and unsettling (and fit well with the low-poly look of everything). Had a few times I fell into the level geo and got stuck and man is the monster aggressive, wish there was a little more leeway in terms of it noticing you.
Very hard :(
