I wish there's an easy way to reset my progress. The game remembered my fully decked out save from Season 1.

Interesting, i'll keep it in mind for “season 3” 👍🤗

Underrated gem. Would work nicely on a tablet in my opinion.

Thank you very much for the nice comment!

Normally the game works on mobile on the web, but I'll certainly try to make a longer game directly in the stores!

Great game! I really don't have a lot of criticisms. For a game made in two days, it's as polished as a regular web release!

The sound effects are very juicy and unique. I especially love the pickup sound; unexpected but strangely fitting.

If I have to nitpick: The graphics feel a little drab, I wish they were a little more stylized like your previous games (Space Hummus), but they are currently fine. I also wish that the bullets made different sounds when impacting different types of objects.

There's a typo in the game description: You wrote that the theme is "power is running out" when it's actually "Running out of power."

Thanks... I was super tired. Fixed I think :)

This is the best game for this Halloween event I've played so far! It's so good that I delayed my own Halloween game as it can't hold a candle to this one right now! I'll be surprised if you don't get first place in prizes.

While playing the game, I found a couple bugs which I'm sure you'll be glad to hear about:
1- I revived the sister by talking to her after killing her.
2- When talking to the doll, I can let go of the cat and then a new cat spawns in the game which I can use to repeat the doll dialogue and spawn an infinite number of rifles! However, all rifles share the same bullet.

As for suggestions, I wish you used a pixel art thumbnail because the current one doesn't evoke the art style or the feel of the game, and I think the name "House" isn't very shocking for a horror game. Other than that, great job! This was very atmospheric and enjoyed replaying it!

Thanks for enjoying it! We are gonna fix those bugs ASAP. Thanks for letting us know!

Very impressive! I was entertained from the first level throughout!

The main game mechanic is very versatile and open to expansion. If you add ideas like breakable tiles, moving tiles, lazes and such, you could easily make a sequel. Or you could make a port on mobile if you ditch the movement controls (the levels are so small that the game doesn't benefit too much out of movement in my opinion).

As for issues I have with this game: Sound is WAY too quiet. And there's a bug in the last level where the camera doesn't follow the player if he teleports too far ahead (version 1.2). Other than those tiny mishaps, this is a very solid game! One of the best web games I've played in a long time!

StuffedWombat responds:

Thanks, that is some quality input!

A sequel to this game is already planned, I am collecting Ideas right now. It shold be much bigger and prettier (will probably try to get it on steam) and will take a long time to make :)

I will fix the camera bug in the last level asap!
