Graverobber is a real standout submission for the contest. Everything from the humourous story to the inventive level design and the very polished atmosphere and attention to detail makes it a very memorable shortventure. You have a very good ability to create memorable platforming in small spaces, something which I feel isn't easily done. Aside from the normal platforming which was enjoyable, the graves themselves all felt unique and had their own gimmick or design which made them stand out, and I always looked forward to robbing my next grave to see what lied in wait. The jester grave in particular was a standout. I also like the miniboss in the pre-graveyard area, which was a reference I didn't expect to see. The theme was integrated creatively and the background effects made the atmosphere feel that bit more special.
I somewhat struggle to find things I disliked, as it felt like a really well-made small package. I'd generally say I'd have liked to see it go on for longer or perhaps a boss to round things off, but given there were mini-bosses of sorts and the contest requirements in terms of length, it fits the brief pretty perfectly. A couple of the spider segments weren't initially obvious on timing but a couple of deaths later it wouldn't be a problem.
Overall not just a great entry but just a great game on a whole. My favourite game of yours and very likely my favourite submission from the 2018 shortventure contest. Very fun stuff!

I had a lot of fun with this one. Interesting platforming, good music, nice atmosphere, etc etc. The curse mechanic was poorly explained, but executed well. I do agree with the judges in that the final area was too precise at times. Primarily two bits: The turret finale and the bit where you fall through a rapidly flashing laser into gunfire. Those two parts felt obnoxiously precise. However, I really loved the precision in this save https://i.imgur.com/qam5qU8.jpg because doing it fast felt very, very cool. Anyway, overall a fangame I'm glad I played.

It's good. I'm really baffled by its inclusion in the "fear" shortventure contest, and I think the gimmicks used are among the most overused in fangames (VVVVVV for instance), but it's a fine game with a banging soundtrack.

i kept on getting lost and running into dead ends and didnt know where to go. I also missed the ruby because i went down and i had to wait for a friend to tell me where it was since i thought i looked everywhere.
wasnt a fan of the fear mechanic, i dont like having to wait when i make a mistake and waiting for my fear to go down, and being able to essencially skip a gate or something get rid of the fangame-feel
it was pretty easy too, wish it was harder, other than all that it was pretty fun, good bosses except the final boss was a little disappointing

Pretty good. Everyone else said what I would say - great production values, good atmosphere, etc. All around good. The final boss in particular is very well made and fun to fight. The only mark against it for me is that the difficulty is just way, waaay too low. The health bar is nice, but makes the entire game extremely trivial - you can skip the bulk of platforming even without intending too, and everything's just over super fast. The game didn't leave nearly as much of an impression on me as any one of Mattin's prior games just because I blew through all the content so fast. The fear mechanic is fine, good even, but I think it overall hurt the game (or at least, the platforming not being made harder to compensate did).

I would give this game a jumpscare tag, but it's so obvious that I'm not gonna give it one. So if you really don't see it coming, then you honestly deserve to get jumpsacered.
Volume warning though.

I feel like this game has dark themes, and executes them as well as you could ask from a fangame, but is also gratuitous without much deeper meaning to it all. I wouldn't say it's "brutal for the sake of being brutal", but I also felt that everything here was fairly surface level. There's nothing wrong with that, and it's definitely top-tier for a fangame, but overall I wasn't so impressed.
Also one step in the puzzle process was so arbitrary it felt more frustrating than good to figure out: Why did I have to give the spider web to the girl to make a rope? This whole step could have been removed I think. It's just arbitrary.
