Make sure to try either "alone32o3" for Linux x86, "alone64o3" for Linux x86_64, or "aloneo3.exe" for Windows 32 bit, as these are optimised and create a HUGE PERFORMANCE BOOST!

I found this game quite challenging to play, but the idea was pretty unique and it was quite fun. It was strange how two exes were provided. The one where the oil lamp goes down slower has really unresponsive controls, making it impossible to play. I didn't manage to make it to the end ladder, but I gave it a good number of goes. It would have been nice to have some UI inside the game exe.
Overall, good job!
one of the exe is too slow, and I dont have enough time on the other to active the green switch and come back before my oil runs out :-/
The idea of the lamp-oil it's good but the controls are not so good, so the game its kinda frustrating.
Hm...I think the oil runs out too fast, and the controls are a little difficult with having to mash buttons to move. The visual ambiance is nice, though.
Graphics are interesting. Player's light-source disappears too quickly, making this very difficult to play.
Sorry, I was unable to play the game because the oil ran out too quickly. Maybe this would have worked better if the oil ran out constantly only when you walked, making it more turn based.
Weird. The zip is broken and 2Kb for me?
