Very nice visuals, also downright creepy once you get to the chest!

At first, I was unimpressed with the gameplay, but once you grab the treasure, it gets very interesting. Definitely a fun mechanic.

Visuals were great. The swarm of creatures slowing crushing down on you when you've run out of torches is awesome.

Very interesting game!
Not very islandy, but it sure entertained me while i was playing it.

Haighstrom

Scary!

Hahaha - really creepy! Haven't gotten to the ending, but yep: liked it

The bugs seriously scared me the first time they showed up. Fun game though, still havent beaten it.

Those bugs scared the crap out of me. Once I hit the chest, this was basically my thought process:
"what's with the creepy mus-OH MY GOD ROACHES RUN PANIC PANIC *die*"

The shock was impressively, just that. Both attempts I died *very* soon after though, so if there was anything else to it it was lost in the difficulty curve. Excellent use of combined audio and graphics for the key moment.

Holy crap, scared me half to death! Haha :)

Fun game.

It may interpret the theme rather useless, but it's an interesting take on it nonetheless. Loved the music when you're walking around, but had to mute it when the bugs came :( . Also, a lot of people seem to have been surprised by the roaches, but for me, the name gave it away :p

Roaches, why did it have to be roaches..

:) love the gameplay mechanic

Creepy crawlies indeed! Cool game mechanic, well done. Took a few tries to make it back, so the difficulty seems about right too. Short, of course, not much replay value, but otherwise good.

Holy feck! First I thought nothing to do but once I got the chest... Great effect, really creepy!

Tough to try to remember where the torches were.

wow that was... different.
Interesting concept.

SonnyBone

Yeah, too bad you didn't really nail the theme at all because the rest of this is really rad.

COOOOL IDEA!

Hempuli

Absolutely fantastic surprise! I was really scared the first time around!

One of the most solid entries I've played. Still trying to beat it.
