I don't think Millie's Nightmare is winnable. Or at least, I can't tell if it is. I manage to find the first three pages, but then I am wandering all over the map and no sign of the last one. I checked every burrow, and still nothing.
Other than that, there's really nothing to complain about. Other than, well, how annoying this game can be. The presentation of this game gives off serious NES Godzilla vibes, and the sprite art is all the better than before. Really loved smacking Toad in the face with a rock.
But the difficulty... I don't find this game particularly scary, but a game becomes less scary when the feelings of fear get replaced with frustration. The timing of the turnip throwing for the Toad chase, and how you have to wait for the complete end of the Punisher eye animation before you can move again. And that split second is the annoying difference...
Other than that, I do really like this game.
Couple questions, though:
1. How come you released the updated version on Itch and not on GameJolt?
2. Are you aware of Mutkifer being adapted into Nightmare of the Mushroom Kingdom? And if so, are you at all involved in that?
1. I Want the game to have more general public, and that can be found on itch.io, i will later after some time publish the demo on gamejolt.
2. I literally just found out about the existence of that, didn't know what it was. And apparently yeah, mutkifer is there lol
And sophie too.
So no, i'm not involved.
Was curious about the second one, because The Overseer is also in there, and the SMB+ team is actually helping out with it.
I hope that JMC's adaptation of your characters will be to your liking.
Was talking to JMC about this on DeviantArt, and he's interested if you have any feedback on what he has publicly available for the adaptations of your work.
This is the song he published for Mutkifer: https://soundcloud.com/nikita-efremov-865151319/fnf-notmk-20-non-potes-fugiendum...
Note on the song, from JMC: "the vocals there are temporary, one person will help me make new versions, in general the song can also be slightly reworked. And yes there is a reference to SMB3 Game over sound effect"
And here are the renders for Sophie and Mutkifer, which he provided me with
Apologies, but if you could please provide some feedback? JMC would appreciate it.
If i'm being honest, the game is particulary easy.
I personally don't agree and can't understand how you find that difficult because even with that, with having to wait the animation to end, the game still gives you a lot of time to get to the end of the eye path. and ofc i made it to wait until the end of the animation, because if he has his eye semi-closed, he still could see you.
The turnip throwing at toad chase was a choice, wanted people to say "Nah how can you do that?" and i made that decision beacuse again, toad is really not that fast :/ in fact he is very slow.
In millie's nightmare, you said that you checked every drawer? are you sure? if the anwser is yes, then it could be a programming error by my part but the game is beatable, at least just the only level that's in the demo.
But anyway thank you for your time, and thanks for playing.
Well in that case for Punisher, sounds like a "skill issue" on my part. I acknowledge that fact, because I even suck at the original Super Mario Bros., which is what a lot of these horror games are based on.
As for Toad... I see your point. After I finally figured out the turnip thing, I managed to beat Toad just after that.
I love this game
THIS IS SOOOO GOOOD OH MY GOD !!! living proof that creepypastas can have effort and soul put into them and i am LIVING FOR IT !!! i cant wait until this comes out !!!!
I've never played an "EXE" type game but LOVED this. It was difficult in some parts but still so very good overall. I do hope this is still in the works and can't wait to see more.
Here's my gameplay if anyone is interested:
wow great game! I like the details I tried it wen is the game coming out?
i made it with this file from gamejolt
Well that was creepy, nice work.
Ended up liking this a lot! The art is definitely a highlight, but the more abstract approach to the environments was a great touch! The difficulty was just right too, it was actually a little hard. Great stuff!
Thank you! I'm happy you liked it! thanks for playing!
