This was great. I was like ok quirky pixel are Victoria era game about a girl trying to get her biscuits back... wait why is there a gun? Proceeds to fight hordes of undead. Definitely took me by surprise and I appreciate the jokes and humor.  The skeletons were really hard to see in the kitchen, they probably could have had more contrasting border lines or the shade of floor could have been slightly different. The risk mechanic was interesting, I wish there was a way to know what types of guns there were before arriving at the office, so you know what you are risking for. Like maybe being able to use a more powerful gun early on that goes away. Regardless it was fun and the boss was a decent challenge. Great work!

yeah, skeletons are an issue. There's actually a weapon you can get before the office, a crossbow from a little fight in the first hallway!

But thank you for playing and commenting, I am glad you had a good time!!

Darn I must have missed it!

I got hooked by the title & stuck around until the end. I enjoyed it a lot... felt like Resident Evil. I think I lucked out when I got a good weapon fairly early on, and managed to beat the game with it. The key hunt was a cool touch. The visuals were dope & I really respect the look of the game. The dialogue boxes are a little glitchy, but by the end of the game I was amused by the dialogue & didn't mind so much. bravo!

Developer

Thank you so much! What glitch did you find with the dialogue boxes? I'll fix for next time!

Thank you so much!!

love the soundtrack and the audio! i think some of the visuals were a little confusing with how the game was lit, and i found myself running into things fairly often. like others have said, i think the link to the theme is a little weaker, but the actual shooting and movement felt good. very impressive for one person to put out!

You created something with an enormous amount of charm, and your background in composing was apparent almost immediately. I'm also very curious now though: are you a fan of Tim Burton?

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words!

I am a fan of Danny Elfman, if that's what you're asking. Although for this soundtrack, I took mostly inspiration from Shostakovich's Jazz Suites.

It was actually the art style and humor that gave me some Tim Burton vibes. The husband's "Yes I am" and that was that, had that absurdist quality that I so appreciate.

Developer(+1)

Really? I don't watch that many films, so my humor usually comes from my day to day life. But that's really interesting.

Loved everything! Great job in this game!! Maybe the game does not fits the theme, but I really enjoyed playing :)

Developer

Thank you for playing!! I loved your game too!!

Im not really sure if it fits the theme but i enjoyed playing it, it made so much fun and has potential.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback!

Great gameplay and combat feeling. Though I think it is not very fit the theme, the game is still a wonderful piece. I like the arts and the soundtrack, especially the bgm, that is awesome. One thing is the skeleton enemy (I think it's skeleton, busy for the combat lol) is very hard to see clearly on the black and white grid floors. 

Developer(+1)

I do agree on the visibility of some of the enemies, but glad you enjoyed nevertheless! Thanks for the feedback!

Combat is very nice, simple and efficient. The artistic direction is lovely for that kind of game! Got to the end but ditching the base weapon is definitely the move ahahah. Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!

I got stuck where I could not pick up the key to get into one of the rooms, but otherwise I had a blast! I liked the vibe.

Developer

Interesting. Which key was it? Thanks for playing!

Submitted

It seemed to be the gold key that was needed to get into the top left room.  I saw it there, but I couldn't pick it up.

The key showed up before I entered the bottom right door in that main room, but I couldn't pick it up then either.

Developer

Really interesting, I've checked multiple times and it didn't seem to bug out.

Good art and variety. A fun little survival-horror comedy game. Biggest hinderance was although the art is great, visual clarity did have issues with seeing projectiles, warping enemies, and determining hit/hurtboxes, but that kinda stuff is a tradeoff.

Developer

I do agree about visual clarity, I will definitely improve for next time! Thank you for playing and commenting!

The level-design in my opinion is top-notch, everything but the level-design is awesome. The problem I found is: sometimes enemy stops attacking, it happen with me, it got stuck in the sofa but overall, it's the best game that I have played so far :>

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I had problems with the pathfinding a lot. Thanks for playing and commenting!!

Loved the story, fun to play, possibly my favorite game I've played so far this jam!

Developer

Thank you so much!!!

I love this game! The soundtrack was spectacular! By far the best music I've heard so far in this jam. The writing was very funny and gave so much character to the game. The art was also very well made. I didn't think it was inconsistent at all! The gameplay itself is really fun. I liked how every weapon had unique quirks to it, like the crossbow doing more damage but having lower fire rate or how the revolver took longer to reload. Overall a very polished and well made game. Well done!

Developer

Woah, thank you so much! Thanks for playing and for the kind words!!

Combat was super fun!

Got my dang biscuits back! so fun! The combat felt great and the visuals are very attractive! The music really set the mood right!

Wow I loved the vibes of this! The light beams, shadows, and camera shake all came together perfectly.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I am addicted to game feel and volumetric lighting, so I spend like... 10 hours on it, mostly figuring out how to do it. Kind of you to comment!

A very fun game. Your sprite work is phenomenal and your writing is really funny!

Developer

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. Appreciate you commenting and rating!
