Description
A spoopy level for the 2019 Halloween Mod Jam



Hat Kid detects a Time Piece in a strange, remote corner of the Subcon Forest. The grove radiates gloom, and twisted laughter hangs in the air like a dense, sinister fog... entering this place may have been a very big mistake...



Hookshot badge required




No hats are absolutely required, but Brewing Hat and Dweller's Mask are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Time Stop Hat would also probably be helpful.


APPARENTLY THIS LEVEL HAS SOME ONLINE PARTY ISSUES. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.


Thanks to Guzbloon for the Narrator statue mesh



Thanks to JDWMGB and BlueCube for providing me with some Light Plant code that I used to make the Yeloplants less janky than they would be otherwise (any remaining jank is my fault heh)




Music (thanks to Starblaster 64/Drunk Accordion for sharing):


Depths of the Dark Forest - Eric Gleiser


Frost Burn World - Eric Gleiser


Subcon Forest Masked - Eric Gleiser


Snatcher Theme - Eric Gleiser

this level design makes my brain be happy

idk but basically everyone can see each other but they couldn't see me. I recently deleted all my mods

I doubt it. Online Party is currently a bit broken due to a recent Steam update if I'm not mistaken.

is this mod making me be invisible for other players?

Would you be able to elaborate a bit more on what you found unintuitive/etc. about the other parts of the level (perhaps in a discussion thread to avoid flooding here)? This mod is like 2 years old and I'm not going to be making any changes to it, but if you can offer more detailed feedback it can help me improve in the future.

good concept and atmosphere but horrible and unfun level design. if you want to challenge players' ability, then it needs to be very intuitive and easy to understand - what needs to be done must be well communicated; otherwise we're just going to be forced to retry over and over. if you want to challenge players' thinking/creativity, then the difficulty of the puzzle-platforming needs to be lowered or have more checkpoints/tighter design so the player can freely explore solutions without too much of a penalty. i only found the ice section enjoyable, other parts did not strike a good balance and started to become too repetitive

also the AI of the plants is quite janky

for god's sake get rid of the god forsaken floor that slows you down during the bee section. it made me restart 3 times.
