You are a water spirit, Nixie, who once was a woman from the regular folk. You captivate people with your magnificent voice and music, whereas the local men are stunned by your beauty. The fate of the folk is the same - they are all lured into the lake and will never see the light again...

At least not in their human form.

Gameplay:

Press the left mouse button to the sound of the drum to lure in the people around the lake. Different people are lured by various instruments. Do well, and one day they might all turn into nixies... Controls:

Mouse to aim Left mouse button to lure (LMB) Mobile: Drag motion Controller: Left stick to aim A/cross to lure

KNOWN ISSUE: The wrong song might start playing when you replay. Restart the game

Theme

Teema väga umbkaudselt seotud.

Väga väga umbkaudu seotud

Unikaalne võte

Grandma is coming out of sleep in the game :(

The concept of granny's sleep becoming less and less deep as the game goes on is, in my opinion, a part of the game that is against the theme.

It doesn't really match the topic. You managed to integrate "DEEPER AND DEEPER" into your text but it has really nothing to do with the game itself and is far-fetched.

Enjoyment

Oli isegi veidi lõbus, aga FPS oli madal ja väga ebamugav mängida.

Lääg andis valusalt tunda. Sensitivity oli ka paigast ära

The game was a bit laggy at some points

Olenevalt asjade järjekorrast oli vahepeal liiga vähe aega, et mänguga tutvuda ja siis tegutsema hakata + restart võimalus oleks olnud tore. Võiks olla rohkem kohti kus segavatest asjadest lahti saada. Võiks olla võimalik vanaemast endast ka lahti saada või alternatiivselt olla selgitatud miks vanaema kasulik on - teeb pannkooke näiteks.

I liked throwing the cat out of the window. Should add a secret ending of throwing the grandma out the window.

Although the sounds are annoying, that is the point. The picking up of items is a bit weak, which makes it slightly annoying.

Frustreeriv ja ebamugav mängida. Halb performance.

It's challenging, thus you want to try again to succeed, etc. So, I guess it is somewhat addictive.

Väga halb fps, palju input laggi

Aesthetics

Kunst oli huvitav, väga meeldisid meem nimed. T-Pose grandma was fun.

Just fine. The T-posing granny was fine

Klaviatuur on väga valet pidi.

Simple art style.

The sounds are accurate, although very annoying, but that is the point so well done.

Lahe maja, vanaema T-poses voodis (veidike veider aga pole hullu). Helid olid spot on, aga helitugevuse poolest häirivalt valjud, kuigi see läheb mängu pointiga hästi kokku. Story väga lahe mõeldud.

The sounds are a bit overwhelming but maybe that's a good idea - they create a feeling of urgency and intensity which makes your heart beat faster. The graphics could be always approved unless it's a very modern house.

Innovation

Kind of special.

Plot oli naljakas, muud midagi

Unexpected.

An interesting approach with the player being annoyed to play the game.

Päris geniaalne viis teemat tõlgendada.

An interesting approach indeed. I wish it was more on-topic, however, it isn't. Otherwise, the game itself is good and would make a good mini-game that can have different levels and be addictive to many.

Bonus

Väga hea vaatenurk mänguideele!

I liked the concept, well done.

Well done! I hope you develop it further. Good job and good luck!

Too much light sources, its better to just add directional light.
