That Omega Flowey sound effect was way too loud, especially when the rest of the game is dead silent. Still kinda funny though.

What is the gameplay here? I don't know if this is a bug, but all I could do was wheel around the house and collect pills and once I got every pill from going in a literal straight line there was nothing else to do. I tried going around the house and trying to interact with everything but I couldn't find anything else.

If I'm missing something let me know and I'll give it another shot :sweat_smile:.

Thank you for your review @billnotic ! I’ve already fixed the sound volume and gameplay but I didn’t uploaded it yet. I will update the game tonight or tomorrow.

Edit: The game is updated

Definitely an interesting premise that fits the theme! Good pixel art with very fitting audio. Controls are nice and intuitive. It is a little difficult to figure out the puzzle/what needs to be done. For example, I thought I was able to close the doors but that did not seem to be an option, and I did not find other alternatives to stop the being.

Thank you for your review @fc85057! Unfortunately, I didn't find a way to make doors and furnitures close again. If possible, I will try to fix this and maybe add something in the secret room… ;)

not sure if I got stuck but I couldn't get past the grey door once I got three pills and there didn't seem to be any lose condition for the game? I liked the monster following you, definitely a good way to build tension, but the monster didn't seem to do anything.

Thank you for your review @lushboy-studios! You can interract in the furniture and find numbers to open the "grey door". And yes, the monster deals you damage.
