Great sound! Checkpoints would be nice, though. I keep falling into the hands at the bottom of the screen.

This was a fun litle game. I like the use of the blankey as a non conventional weapon. Nice work!

This is just really well done. The sound experience is one of the best I have heard in one of these competitions. Its just spot on. The spot lit items look super cool. The control feels a little funny sometimes. Like the characters height on a platform shifts. A jump sound would be nice.

The atmosphere in this game is great! I love the use of the blanket and pillow as a weapon. The sounds gave me the heebie jeebies (in a good way).

I love the overall mood of the game. The controls are well done, and the difficulty level is just great (not to hard and not to easy - a lots of games I did test lately were really hard to play).

Really nice idea! Loved so much the music, atmosphere and voices! :O

It's one of my favorite so far ;)
I died so many time at the beginning xD

I am absolutely terrible at this game. This makes the fact that I had fun even more impressive.

Great job with atmosphere and sound design, it definitely creeped me out. It felt like a haunted house! Like others said, checkpoints would have been nice.

Great concept, very creepy, but I had trouble knowing where to go. I included it in part 2 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/N2U1d1bXaPI

Oh, another nice C2 game. I like the way you have used the shaders. Good work!

Good mood, good sound and visuals, but the weapon just felt like a thinly veiled skin for a "punch" attack.

that's nicely satanic :P

Good job. It was creepy and the jumping was nice but some of the platforms where hard to spot.

Welcome to Ludum Dare! Tough game with instant death. Checkpoints would be nice.

Pretty scary too. :O

Wow, scary atmosphere and pretty graphics! Gets kinda tough, but still very playable :D. Good work!
TeamQuadratic28 Apr 2015, 01:08
Wow, so creepy! Nice job on the mood. The gameplay was solid, but not great. It seemed like there was some sort of delay or period after jumping where I couldn't jump again, perhaps a bug.

Wow really creepy! Great mood and sound effects! It'd be nice if there was checkpoints, but the game is really great!!!!

Awesome audio! Very creepy. Checkpoints would be nice. The controls didn't feel very solid at times.

It was fun. I enjoyed the graphics and thought it was a neat idea. I don't see how it fit the theme personally but good job!

Good game. Very atmospheric, and nice concept. It's a bit dark outside of the light around the player to see the platforms you're jumping to very well. Maybe a flashlight or a bigger light radius around the player would have been good? More checkpoints too would have been good. Otherwise very cool stuff!

I fell through the first moving platform. Also I didn't find the pillow very useful.

There were a lot of things to like about this game, but the controls really got in the way (jumping while objects are descending, general floaty-ness). But, putting that aside, there was a LOT to like in this game! Great mood, cool mechanic, very survival-horror like, but in a platform genre! Great job!
