A little buggy. I think it needs a restart to fix some states in case anyone gets stuck.

The game looks good, especially the dialogues. But during the game I got stuck on one of the levels.

Nice work!
I'd love to be able to play more, if I remember correctly, there was something like 3 levels to go through, I'd like to see more of the mechanics to really get to mess with the newly acquired power ups. Nonetheless, I understand that you have ran out of time. So kudos to you for taking the time to sign it off with a end screen at the very least :thumbsup:

If you were to continue to work on the game, one way you can further improve the game is by having the power ups hold a bigger impact for the player. I feel like the power ups did not do a noticeable difference.
Otherwise, splendid work!

Good game! It'd be nice to get some sort of indication where the spikes are popping up so that they are easier to avoid. But I really enjoyed the art and the story kept me engaged.

Interesting. I'd like to see it when more of the level design is done.

Fun! I would suggest holding the mouse button to keep shooting, but that may make the game too easy.

A possessed girl game? I'm in Winchester mode. Nice art, very fun and you did a storyline for it. I just felt like the levels were ending so suddenly, it could last longer, good job!

I like story boards! That's a nice touch. The time between the story bits could be longer, though. Feels like the conversations spawn too fast in the beginning, especially.

Fast game!
Very good for your first LD. You should put instructions. Of course, you can figure out how to play without it, but many people without patience give up right away if they don't have instructions.

Congratulations!

Well, actually there's a game and a story. Yep, too much lore to un-core and there's no game there about this, but overall I enjoyed the tension, thanks!

Other than needing to use space bar to move the text further and the transition from dialogue to game play being fast it's a good short game I enjoyed despite the minor issues. I liked the idea of the plot and game play enhancing despite the negatives of what happens to the protagonist, a fun concept/game.
