Great aesthetics! neat art too! fun overall, more variation would definitely improve it, but still fun. Great submission

Submitted

Fun little game! Really love the sound design, also there's a lot of enemies varierty! It takes quite long to reached the next level, though, but still really enjoy it!

Submitted

A simple and fun game! I can't say it's scary, but it's enjoyable. Well done!

Submitted

Even though not scary or horror themed, the gameplay of your attack/defend key changed every few seconds to a random input does add a level of stress that fits the jam really well.  The tongue-in-cheek tone of the story is also very nice!  Good job :)

Super cool game! Neet to see something more arcadish, I like the gameplay; I'm a little sad that there's only one map. The game feels good and play good but here's some element i thought: the scream is not really powerful, I think it would need some more feedback and VFX, it took me time to understand that I needed to scream to damage enemies. Dashing with Enter don't feel really good. I think that having a lot of life is cool, but near the end of the game, it wasn't that much harder, so I just gave up and stopped fighting. Same thing for completing the bars, completing 3 orb to have an upgrade, I feel it's a little bit too long and repetitive. Why not have 1 health, and two bars/orb to fill? (but have the bonus health still spawnable) and having an upgrade to have a second health? I feel this game would benefit for a faster pace, will a quicker reward but a quicker death; But super super cool game overrall, love the aesthetic

Wow this was amazing! The artstyle is so unique and the gameplay was so satisfying! Amazing work!

This game was really fun, though I don't have the fastest WPM lol.  It encourages replayability with the different buffs before the start of each level, and the movement feels sleek.  I quite like the art style, too.  Just really great stuff overall.

Submitted

It's not really scary, but it's a pretty damn fun and silly game.

Jimmyyyyy. I need to gitgud at  typing.

Very cool game! The concept work well even if some elements could be improved. For instance having 3 bar to fill is way too long, the controls for the scream could also be improved because changing the control in the middle of the scream is frustrating, the enemies can still attack me.

But despite those little problems the game is very cool, congratulations!

Love the minimalist pixel art, the vfx reminds me of Celeste. The movement feels perfect and satisfying. And I think it fits this jam, it really says scream lol

Submitted

Cool Idea, I love the game! good job!

Submitted

The movement is really satisfying!

But...maybe a wrong jam?

Developer

Maybe a bit... But it states in the rules that it's okay to not submit a horror game, and I have a note in the description about it.

Woah. I can totally see this game placing really high in the jam (though spooky might be a limiting factor), you did a phenomenal job implementing a unique and interesting game design. I adore the witty intro sequence, I read it all out loud in a weird accent, which I don't know how to feel about (It was a good thing). I love the idea that Jimi just has intermittent memory loss which completely warps his abilities. It was fun to try to keep up with different keys being the scream key, super creative. 

I found the level length a bit long, and the ramp-up was slow (Maybe I'm just impatient). You could benefit greatly from more map layouts. The mechanics are really well polished, the animations are great, sounds are perfect. Brilliant execution!

The artstyle is so simple but awesome, and the concept of changing Jimi's scream?  So creative.  The movement of Jimi is soo good. 

I love Jimi with all of my heart.  

Submitted

This is a fun concept and it feels really smooth and polished! Chasing the scream around the keyboard was surprisingly fun

Submitted

Perfect game! Loved the art style -- the player feels soo GOOD to control!

Submitted

Nice game! The tight, single-screen scope works really well here. Everything feels polished, even the little squish animation when the player lands is a great touch. The power-ups fit nicely into the flow, and the “Press F to scream” bit is a clever addition. The intro sets things up clearly and cleanly.

Submitted

Cute game! I like Jimi. You did a really good job choosing a decently small scope and sticking to it -- I wish there was a bit more variety in the upgrades (quadruple jump is funny, but I was really waiting for a "more gems spawn" or "you deal more damage to X enemy type" type thing), but I still stuck around until I knew I had unlocked them all (I decided that was my win condition). Great job!

Submitted

Very well polished game felt very juicy which i like! would be cool to not get doubles on the upgrade screen. other than that really cool game!
