I usually don't like commenting in games lashing out but this is outrageously bad. The horror aspect to the game is simply not there. The game is not scary whatsoever, just slightly unsettling in the beggining. Some cuts inbetween rounds with soft storytelling about the stranger would have made you actually feel more insecure about everything and maybe actually scared.
Also, the gameplay is just unbearable. Many collisions are really junky and feel unfair, specially the speed at which the stranger moves by the end. The mouse is also uncontrollable because you don't even know if you're in range of hitting the ball or not, that's even assuming you manage to put the cursor over it given you can only play at one horridly rapid mouse sensitivity. A sensitivity slider and some vidual clue that you can hit the ball (like the cursor becoming slightly bigger, for example), would make the game 1000 times better.
And before any of you call it a skill issue, here's me beating all 4 rounds:
Sorry, I actually made this in 3 days for a Jam while doing my normal job in the background, didn't had a lot of time for testing. tbh I agree with most of the points you made, I apologize for that. And I'm actually impressed you beat all 4 rounds, I didn't even knew more people were playing this one so didn't spend any more time on improvements, again, due to my job have bare minimum time, Though thank you for the feedback. I'll try to add your recommendations! Cheers!
Yeah, I figured the mistakes weren't due to a lack of experience but a lack of time/opportunity. I played your other horror game, Demono, and it was a lot better so I knew you were capable of making a better game with enough time.
Also, I re-read my original comment and wanted to say sorry if I was rude. I was most likely too frustrated because the game is hard :p
I was lured to this park under false pretenses! I had a lot of fun and laughs with this one even though I played volleyball alone as you can see in my Gameplay:
This was a unique idea for a game, Lootera89. I don't think I've ever seen volleyball in a horror game and the dialogue was great. Awesome gameplay mechanics when it comes to the volleyball part. I know mine didn't load in, but I watched the gameplay videos from other content creators.
Sorry the game broke! I made it in 3 days for the Jam had barely any time to do much of testing. If you try running it again, it might work... Thanks for playing and apologies again!
oh it’s fine and made for a unique playthrough. I bet even typing in respawn may have worked. I may go back through and actually play him in the volleyball game in the future just to close out the loop on this one.

I've updated the difficulty; it's more balanced now. Try serving far to the left or right, away from him, best of luck!
Thank you for playing!
