Five Nights At Gangle's

So, the finale has been achieved. V0.3 has certainly made it much easier. Quite frankly warrants the hard made you spoke of.

I also found an absurd graphical bug that caused one specific room to overlap every other room in the game, which kind of fit the aesthetic of the final phase. If it wasn't intended, you should definitely make it so.

 This occurs at 21:17, i pressed S as soon as i got in the room, which i abuse when the movement cooldown doesn't occur and allows me to move immediately before the room loads.

Em Em still causes interaction issues. 13:55, flashing the room in the ghost room causes em to get hit, but keeps my interaction locked, this occurs when i am in the left pumpkin room as well, flash hits the adjacent room somehow.

Having Em Em, Bubbely and Ghost in the main lobby causes only Em and Bubbely to get hit by the flash while the Ghost remains untouched.

I'm curious there is custom night or not, and when I search someone who play all phase, I don't find anyone who's already finish this game.
Well I can't play horror game, I really scared person and easily to get scared lol (and hate jumpscare)

im actually afraid to play due to the game being not so balanced rn

edit: i no longer fear the balancing.

second edit...: me when the amazing digital circus

Bubbely is just like crash bash but more fair
also is pumpkipider's general body structure and DAREWARE.exe's head and hands inspired by RedMan?

SALE ENDS IN 3 YEARS????

if it expires, the dev of this game will put it up again shortly after

2nd Part, it was quite difficult even with the update, but that isn't due to the pumpkinpider, Bubbely being able to leave and come back to the same exact room you are hiding feels cheap, but it may be intended. Cannot wait for Phase 3 to delete my existence.

Haha! , watched your playthrough and let me see it was so fun , it's so funny that you never acknowledge that the Stairs are an actual path you can go to (this is where the ghost came from ) , yeah a lot miss it to , I should acknowledge it in the next update, thanks for playing :)

Really? I tried to click up there off video and nothing happened, maybe  i missed it.

Edit: I tried to click on top of the stairs and not where it connects to the floor. So i suppose i mislead myself into thinking it isn't a path. Whoops.

I saw someone playing some of phase 3 and the trailer was filmed in phase 3 so that sock guy and the blob child will be in phase 3 and there will be an sound o meter that goes up if you crank that souja boy, flash... idk bro i frogor 

game is fun but stopped playing at phase two because bubbely is INCREDIBLY luck based. he hit me around 8 times in 2 minutes because of his instant respawn, ruining a good run. that and he can turn while you are going into a door, so he will attack with nothing you can do but waste a flash or tank exposure waiting for it to recharge. the rest of the game is incredible, and the graphics are really nice, would recommend when bubbely gets fixed/nerfed

Thanks for the feedback, it's on the v0.3 list !

Damn this is an awesome Game, the animations are clean, it has a Lot of rooms, mechanics, and characters, I just hope it gets an android version, to have the Game in My pocket and play it everywhere. Love this Masterpiece!

Lovely experience to be slaughtered by pumpkins. Awesome artwork and theme. The ever increasing tension as you crank the gate open thinking if you will have enough time before a pumpkin comes barreling down the hallway. Or worse, forgetting how much time you have before clock strikes.

I hate jump scares but this was fun great job keep up the good work.

It's not though?

The terrific artificial funhouse

youre saying this man above me to a different guy

is this game going to be on Steam?

Probably not .. but who knows ?

I like the idea of your game like it point click game and character desingns etc. I found them very cute and scary at the same time. It made me play it more.
However therese is some thing I'd like to share with; I've managed to live until final phase (4) but I did same thing again and again and hope that I can a little bit lucky to finish the phase.
What am I meaning of it? I locked the main door I got the gate half open I flashed the clockey and hope that I am lucky to have virus in the first area. I tried to understand mechanics of game, understands what characters do and what's their aim but in phase 2,3 I can't find another enemies expect the one get me virus (I forgot the name I am sorry). And I tried enemies mechanics wich is like flash clockey and bubbely or lock the doors BUT PUMPKIN SPIDER IS SO SO SO HARD. hard to understand, hard to get away from it etc. 
And I'd like to add, sometimes flash doesn't work on enemies (espically on bubbelly)
I see the vision of game and as I said I really liked it hope you are willing to develop this game because if I got full version of it I know it will be my fav game. Thanks for your hard work I can't wait to see full version

I'm already working on it ! .. this is the game jam edition.. and it was really rushed in the end, it was too ambitious for a game jam and literally got submitted 18minutes before the dead line  .. And I am taking your feedback for guaranteed.., the mechanics will be a lot clearer .. fixed and easy to catch up on , especially Pumkipider.. thanks a lot

你好 作者先生 这款游戏 真的是太难了 第一关我玩了很久都没有过去 那个蜘蛛南瓜真的很难判断他出现的时机 不管我锁上那个门他都会抓到我希望能出一些提示以及教程之类的 另外我真的很喜欢你的游戏

The game oozzes character, especially in the intro and seem to have a lot of interesting depth.
Through i found the main gameplay loop to be a bit tedious. Pulling the crank is very slow and boring which makes the game feel tedious when its the only way to progress.

Ive seen from some comments that exploring is meant to be be major mechanic? So you can find where the ennemies are and how to prepare for them i suppose? A cool idea overall but its a bit hard to grasp in the first level as exploring doesnt seem to provide any immediate benefit, and you dont get to learn how each enemy works without dying to them.

So i guess what this game mostly need is a better tutorial to really help players understand the importance of exploring to find out the ennemies patterns and locations.

Thanks for the feedback! I totally get what you mean — the gameplay loop can be a bit tricky to grasp at first, especially in Phase 1. There isn’t much clear direction on what to do yet, since I left that up to the player (and the death screens) for the jam release since i couldn't make a Tutorial before the Jam deadline ends 

That said, I knew I needed something to make players do more than just “pull the crank.” That’s why Phase 1 has the Pumkipider, Phase 2 brings in the Ghost and Dareware, and of course, Clockey makes an appearance too.

A proper tutorial is definitely on my list for the next version. Thanks again :)

i think it would also be worth it to take the time to make the crank into a "spin the mouse" minigame so it feels a bit more dynamic.

That alone would probably make it a lot less boring.

Great visuals and a fun take on classic sit&survive, really liked how exploration is part of the experience instead of just switching cameras. Nice game! Good luck in the jam

Thanks :)

Hey everyone — I hope you enjoy my newest project, Open Gizmy Zimy. It’s a bit different from what I usually make. And yep, to clear up any confusion — I’m still 4Dpixel Games, just rebranded.

This version was submitted for the Toxic Terror Game Jam, so I didn’t get to include everything I had planned before the deadline. Still, I hope you have fun with what’s here — it’s pretty challenging :)

I’m planning a full post-jam release where I can bring all my original ideas to life. Until then, thanks for playing and for all your support!
