Feedback on game ive been working on the past few years

This is a simple game i made just to honestly mess around, play with friends and learn more about coding. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I really would
appreciate some help as to make this game look more realistic too!

I was inspired to create this game a few years back to simply scare my older brother and all it consisted of was a rocky cave with a part that when touched jump scared you. That was all, until i overtime added more things to it and its eventually became this game with a round system and multiple monsters and flashlights and shops and so much more that for me has taken so much time and effort but i’m sure that some of you pro developers out there could make this game way better and faster than i have.

How the game works…

You spawn on a dirt road next to a mysterious cave, and decide to enter it and explore, Once inside there a five different colored gems you need to collect, Once you collect the first gem, the next gem appears.

One monster is bigger, faster and loud and you can hear when he gets close due to your heartbeat increasing, but his hitbox is smaller.
The other monster is just a floating black head with a scary face on it, and has a glowing red light beneath it, this monsters hitbox is way bigger, but its speed is slower than the other monster’s.

The monsters were both constantly getting stuck on the rocky terrain, so i manually added wedges and parts in place of where the terrain is, and made it so the monsters cannot collide with the terrain, and let me tell you this totally saved my game.

Other cool things im proud of…
-Learned and added data store
-Made a gem shop where you can trade in gems for perks
-Made a Super Flashlight Gamepass, which has increased range, brightness, and infinite battery life
-BoxHandleAdornments on the monsters and gems for testing the game and also a future gamepass/perk to be added into the game
-Whenever The Sentient (bigger monster) enters your view, a scary sound will play (took forever to code)
-Custom animations because i hated how the flashlight bobbed up and down. (the animations are horrible, but it keeps the flashlight still so i dont mind for now.)

(as you can probably tell, i am a young and very beginner level coder. )


Cave (game lighting off)

Lobby (game lighting off)

Vault entrance (Once all gems are collected, vault opens and players have 30 seconds to exit and win)

Inside of the vault (Climb up the ladder to win)



Entrance to the cave




Flashlight system with monster in it, I added a BoxAdornment to the monsters and the gems you need to collect during the game so that i could test the game alot easier (and also not get scared by my own monsters lol)

A code i made strictly for me whenever i am testing the game simply because im too scared to play my own game lol.

If there are any developers reading this that have any tips for me to become a better scripter, or any ideas to make this game better, please tell!

very creepy!
You could perhaps try some Blur and DepthOfField effects.

bros about to get the world record for the eeriest game :sob:
Jokes aside, the eerie lighting and terrain make it the perfect setting for monsters after you and a horror theme.
Great work!

Haha thank you so much! I will say the jump scares are very bad and i have yet to update them, It honestly isnt that scary of a game i just get scared way too easy :sob:
