Nice game. There's a problem with the second level where you can fall into a pit and be completely unable to do anything other than restart, but other than that I liked the idea of directing a beam of light that lets you do things better and constantly feeds you allies. More could be done with this mechanic, I think. Good job all around.

Really nice artwork and a good foreboding feel in general. Some ambient music and a little more graphical polish would improve this a ton, I think.

I really like the concept and the graphics. The very fast and dynamic combats are also great. Unfortunatly there are some bugs (in the second level you can go left right at the beginning and fall endlessly. Also it seems like the pipe segments don't react properly when you shoot them.

I like the concept a lot.

Congrats on finishing the Ludum Dare!

Great idea, very slick. Just a few logic issues where you can get stuck.

I like the idea of making pathways to guide your "friends".

Interesting concept. I got stuck a few times when I didn't direct the light before jumping down. =[

This is a really cool game. very clevel use of the theme. It would be interesting if the baddies could steal back areas.. like a strategy game (Z)
Graphics wise it's beatiful, the shift from light to dark would look better if it was slightly more gradual though.

Hope to see your full ver of this soon.
Good luck!

Very stylish, but the collision detection seems to be buggy. I love the idea. With a bit more polish this could be fantastic.

Great interpretation of the theme!

I agree with everyone, it's a great idea and has nice atmosphere. Some gameplay details aren't quite elegant and polished though, like the player zooming around at 50 kph while being barely able to jump. Also getting stuck is annoying. Great concept prototype though, I'm sure you'll be able to make a neat package out of it if you want to.
