Running\/jumping felt good and it looks nice, especially the rain.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Digging out ghosts is great idea, but little dissappointed those did not harm me at all, making it less horror... :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>...well, maybe because due to the end.

The game isn't terribly scary, but it is very charming!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Jumping led to a glitch on one of the rooftops (small building, cramped pit in the top with a ghost in it).

I think I found the bug, but I'll leave the files how I submitted them. It's really not very scary. I didn't have too great ideas about scaryness and just went ahead doing what I could think of. Platform basics kept me busy enough as you see ;)"},{"author_name":"mildmojo","author_uid":"6748","time":"Sep 26, 2011 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1317054300,"text":"Except for the falling-through-floors bug, this was really nice.

Actually it is the first game I have taken this far to a relatively polished state without giving up way too early. Also, this is my first attempt at a game in a long while. So I just started off, from scratch, without any ideas, drawing tiles and slowly putting something together. Without any idea in particular, I tried to put my attention towards athmosphere. Actually I had no clue what the purpose of the game would be about 5 hours before finishing. I used a simple tile\/blitter class I had written the day before I started with this, the rest is made from scratch in 48 hours, apart from the CC-licensed sound files.\r\n\r\nTools used: Flash Builder 4.5, TileStudio, Audacity.\r\n \r\nCredits for soundfiles go to: Dan Oberbauer, LunarDrive, jaava73 and nigelcoop all from freesound.org.\r\n\r\nThere is at least one collision bug I am awarw of, but I don't have time to fix it ;)\r\n\r\nThe Game:\r\n\r\nNecromancy 101\r\n\r\nYou're a young Neophyte in a magickal secret society.
