the levels were definitly way too big.

Very atmospheric. Unfortunately, I went to the house before the mine, got chased off by the monster, and when I came back home the monster wasn't there anymore. Couldn't finish the game because of that.

@sypiac huh, you mean you went all the way up without being killed by the monster and then it dissapeared and never showed up again?

sypiac 2025-04-07 10:47

@unima9000 Yeah, I went in with nothing, got chased by the monster out of the map. Went to the mines, got everything, came back, and the monster wasn't there. The house door was still closed, so I just wandered around for a minute or two then quit. I think it got stuck somewhere or despawned.

@sypiac sorry about that, yeah, it probably got stuck somewhere on the edge of tile. It was basically end of the game, there were just a small horror type ending after that and that’s it.

Very good! I enjoyed playing it. It was very atmospheric, with the vibe of 90's games.

The sounds of the wind make the game very atmospheric

This is the real thing

Really enjoyed it! Got a bugged out ending like other people here but it didn't matter - the journey was great and you all should be proud!

Great Vibe and Atmosphere! Art style also really nice. Awesome work!

Nailed the creepy atmosphere. The spawn points for enemies should not work if the player is nearby, otherwise you get telefragged by spawning enemies

Really liked the sounds of the environment. I had a good learning curve experience as I went about reading the signs.

You made a game with a solid background. The Zelda mechanics are well done - controls are smooth. Weird ++

Really great job with this one. The atmosphere was great and the progression was really satisfying for a Compo entry. The music got a little repetitive, but that definitely happens with such a short window to compose. I didn't have any issues w/ the monster despawning or anything, got to the house just fine. Great entry!
