This is the perfect time of year for your game and you’ve made a really great blend of scarry and funny. The shaking of the avatar is an awesome effect, it feels like he’s about too pee himself any second. The sound effects and music were really great too. Overall this is awesome. I think it would be cool to add some jump scares, though Timmy would definitely pee himself if something jumped at him lol. Other than that, the only thing I could think of that needs a little work is the writting on the walls, Sometimes it looks like it is not connected to the wall.

The fog, the walls, the writing on the walls, the random fallen parts of the building, the music (so sketch), it all comes off very creepy in a silly kind of way which perfectly matches your game. Well done.

The movement is solid and responsive and even the side-to-side camera as you go fits and adds to the suspense and the uncertainty of the character. The shaking animation goes a long way to show just how scared he is.

I can’t think if many critiques, it is well done. I think I would just like to see it expanded to have a little more agency in some aspects and more story driven.

It took me at least 5 tries to reach the bathroom in 30 seconds. The blood on the wall adds to both the horror and the hilarity, while the timer accurately represents the urgency to use the bathroom. The shakiness works well for both the scared feel and the urgency to use the bathroom. While the polish is good, I recommend a bit more to emphasize time running out, like a heartbeat getting steadily faster or Timmy panting heavily when the timer reaches 10 seconds. Great job combining genres! I had a lot of fun playing!

But, aside from the subject matter, I am definitely getting a scared feel from this game (with some added hilarity.) The constant character shaking/movement makes the avatar feel like he’s actually scared and could be attacked by a ghost at any minute. The sound effects and music also add to the polish very well and help intensify the frightening atmosphere.

I think the lighting could be a little more scary, right now it just feels cloudy/hazy like a really foggy day or something. Which I guess is a little scary in and of its self, but personally I think it would be scarier if the lighting were themed as if it were taking place in the black of night.

Overall this was awesome though! I think with a few more added elements and gameplay mechanics the game feel could be brought out even more and this has the potential to be a very fun game.

I think this is super polished; almost everything in the world has a good fitting texture on it, and the fog affect really adds to the creepy atmosphere. The music fits well too, but I am not so sure about the sound effect, I don’t know what the sound is.
The controls are good, and I like that the character is shaking, so it adds to the scariness of it too. The camera could be improved a bit; it swings a little too much when moving left or right, and then it becomes difficult to see what is in front of you.
Overall, awesome game!
