I liked the guard mechanic, but got stuck on the fourth level. Fun game, liked the use of lighting.

Heh, I couldn't get past the level called "you can do it!" :)
Cool mechanics, although one thing I noticed was that you can't tell what you can see when the light's shining on the same place. Take your screenshot, for example--the faint gray is what the player can see, but you can't tell that you can't see around the corner into the room with the light in it.
It's a cool game, though. The simple mechanics are fun, once you get used to them.
Nice! I like the graphics style, and the lighting system is really neat.
Reminds me a bit of the game 'Frozen Synapse,' but more stealth-y.
A little bit like Monaco :) You ought to continue working on it and add different kinds of missions, items, skills and so on. Could turn into something really cool
Press any key. Escape. Game exits. :)
Good concept, simple implementation. Neat lightning. Lacks detail and graphics.

Sadly java2D does not like blending at all... If I were to continue this, I'll use OpenGL to get a lot of fancy effects for free!
I think the game is pretty well balanced. I had trouble on the last two levels, but I finished them after I stuck with it. It runs great even on my slow machine.
Couldn't get this to run. BAT file didn't work, running JAR directly: Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from j1.01.jar (Win7, 64-bit)
I like it, nice working mechanic (although I'd prefer guards without eyes in their back), nice difficulty progression. Very good entry with very nice music.
@nuria If the bat did not work, I suppose you do not have Java in your PATH. I will make a single .jar package that should work ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@Shigor I wanted to implement fields of view for the hero and the guards, but that would require blending, and java2D does not like it. As I said before, with a small bit of OpenGL, everything would have been possible! I'll definitely implement FOVs if I were to continue this. Thanks for feedback btw!
Nice difficulty progression, fits the theme, feels very polished. Lots of fun from a single concept.
