BOGDARU

I really love the art and character design! However, it took a while to find the zappers, and I think i even walked off the map at some point. After dying, I think the game crashed. The hand-painted art style is really nice.

Found it quite hard to find more than one zapper which is a shame after I stumbled across what I can only assume was the "GOAL" how many of them are there? three?
Absolutely gorgeous artwork the effect when you find zappers and the goal is brilliant.

The art style is great but the game is very confusing

@jpiggs thanks for the feedback, I've fixed the bugs around dying and restart and updated the map to prevent getting stuck and leaving the game area.

@jibberwocky there are 3 zappers, there was a bug with spawning them which should be fixed now.

@kromeboy thanks, with the fixes I've made the game should be now somewhat less confusing.

Absolutely fantastic atmosphere

Kind of creepy mood for this game, loved it.

Does the background is painted by you?
The gameplay is cool, does the flashes indates where are the zappers?
Otherwise very cool little game?
Thank you for your creation

Love the atmosphere of the game and the art style! However, I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to interact with the game other than using the arrows keys to walk. I think some clearer instructions would be helpful. Cool entry!

I loved the mood, but it took a bit to figure out how to find zappers and even longer to figure out what to do with them.

Took me a while to figure this one out! On my first attempt I got zapped after holding the third zapper. After that the location of the bigger zapper changed right? Cool idea to lure the player to the correct spot by flashing the sides of the screen. The art style is rather unique! I liked it. The soundscape and the atmosphere were nice. A bit of music would be nice or a little story at the beginning.
Cool entry! Hope you had fun making it.

you made a really beautiful art for this game, the sounds are also great.
I didn't understand precisely what was the goal, I think you need to find all the white creatures and bring them to the tent, but they were a little bit difficult to find.
Also there were several props on the level, I saw a picture of the character, several tents, a vase or lamp, clearly these items are telling a story, but I couldn't figure it out.
Great job! Keep up the good work

The art is superb, what a wonderful thing! I really liked how the environment is kind of silent but also noisy from the character's footsteps. I confess that it took me a while to understand what needed to be done, and when I found out, I died.. Haha. Then I think the game crashed because even after refresh the commands were dead.
Overall I really liked it, congrats!

@chtimy The background (and all other art) was made by @rabator, you can check more of her stuff on behance or instagram.

The flashes do indicate where the zappers are.

@shaopenguin @weine

Thanks for the feedback, we do want to improve on communicating possible interactions and the goal in-game I just ran out of time to implement those during the jam. We'll be adding stuff to it during the Extra probably.

@oakhardt Once you get zapped the whole game restarts and locations for everything are randomized.

Thanks for your kind words and the music is on its way, just needed a bit more time. :)

@gamedevtraum Hey, I like your attention to the map but unfortunately none of the props have any function other than setting up the mood. I do see how 3 tents and 3 zappers might be confusing, sorry about that.

As a hint (that maybe should be in the game) I suggest you look around a bit while carrying a zapper. Don't worry, the zaps are kinda predictable as they come every 10 seconds.

@eronsh Thanks for the kind words, what do you mean the "commands were dead"?

The game was crashing at restart before but it should be fixed already. The fact that even refresh didn't solve it tells me there might be some issue outside the game.

Are you saying the game stopped reacting to inputs? What browser are you on?

@jpiggs @jibberwocky @shaopenguin @oakhardt @eronsh
I had so much fun working on this game, so I'm really glad you liked the art!

@gamedevtraum
Oh yes, I got a bit carried away with the props and I still have a plenty of ideas to make the scene more lively and mysterious, I hope it won't be too misleading.

Thank you all!

The art style and mood is amazing! But the gameplay is confusing... ='(

The mood was very good and the style too, I think it couldve been a little less confusing though.

I love the drawings and the characters! I was not sure where to bring the zappers. And I am also not sure what I died of suddenly, it looked like a lightening. Still liked the world and the story.

Great artstyle and atmopsphere. Gameplay could see more improvement though. I couldn't understand how to tell if the zapper was going to zap me had no idea where to go after I picked it up. Some direction would be helpful.

Edit: oh they probably zap every 10 seconds, right.

The art style in this is really nice, real children's story book painting feels.

This game looks really good. And sounds quite nice as well. I couldn't really figure out when the zapper zaps so I was mostly just confused. The movement and the basic mechanics felt nice though.

I love thick mood of this game. And sound design is superb. Cool entry.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere of this game. The sounds effects and character design were very well done. At first I could not find any of the zappers, so I was standing still and trying to follow their lightning. But I realized later that I was trying to follow several zappers simultaneously. Played the game till completion, great game. Thanks for posting :)

I loved the art but I was a bit confused on what to do

WAsn't squichy enoug

Very impressive game! I gave you top scores for Graphics, Audio, and Mood. The images and sound effects in this game are stunning. I only wish there were a mini-map; I kept losing my way. But that's just a small complaint. One of the best games I've played so far. Good work, folks.
