Really good entry.
Really hard for me too, but I won't juge on that, considerating that I'm bad.
By the way, the ESC key to return on menu after die don't work for me (but "New" menu still does).
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD23 → Light the Lighthouse

Holy cow, I opened up your game cause it looks like we picked almost the same idea somehow... but your graphics are AMAZING... I just wish it was easier to get to the end so I could see more of them :( still, you at least got top marks for graphics from me! Definitely give this thing some polish and release it fully.
Hey Guys, Thanx for your support and time playing our little game!
Wow, stunning. I'm really impressed you did all this in 48 hours. It's so polished! The spaces were a bit tight and therefore it was tough to play, but rewarding when you got past it. Awesome entry.
Great graphics and sounds. Too bad the game is almost unplayable, I just keep dying for no apparent reason.
Overall good work. The initial character drop is difficult for new players (it seems like you die for no reason, but there is just a short window in which you have to start pressing the space bar). The game is extremely difficult right now.
extremely difficult game, wow, I could barely get anywhere, mainly because of the controls and continually having to restart. other than that, the graphics were great and the music was catchy :)
Super nice font and awesome graphics but yep, extreamly difficult^^
Hard! Too hard for me to get right. On my screen the colour difference between the tunnel walls and the background isn't enough to easily differentiate them.
It also seems like the physics are a little too unforgiving for a learner (I mean, you start falling immediately, and in my case, I couldn't even see what killed me. xD)
Way too hard for me, but wow, the visual style is just great. Very very impressive.
Woah that was tougher than NES silver surfer. Tightly put together though so was impressed.

I loved the opening title on this and the graphics and sound were quite good. The game itself was quite hard to get into and it took me many deaths to even realise what the game was and what I was supposed to do. An interesting idea but gameplay could use a lot of tweaking.
I was so pumped to play when I saw the intro graphics and heard the sweet music, but unfortunately I die in 1 second every time the game starts. A few status messages draw on top of each other when that happens, telling me to hold spacebar. I've tried holding spacebar when the game starts, and I can rotate the world 5 degrees or so before I die. I gave it a shot, I died 20 times in about 20 seconds. Too bad, I really wanted to see what this was all about...
Hi Guys, Thnx for playing we are all ears for your sugestions and apoints we are aware of the difficult and the intial difficult to grasp the controls and timing and stay floating, we have no time to implement a safe area for the "Game Start" we sorry about the difficult but with no time for testing we could only have our feedback and some of us are crazy for hard games :D
I really like the way it looks, the sound, the concept - but it was very hard! ;-) I know it was supposed to be, but I really wanted to play through it - but I liked it a lot.
Update 04/25 V1.1.2 - Player starts floating, so no more compulsive/accidental deaths at start :)
Very well put together, but too hard for my liking.
Like everyone has said-- superb graphics and music. It was reallly tough even with the floating at the beginning. I tried probably 20 times and eventually got near the bottom of the screen. I'd love to try it again perhaps with lower gravity or maybe a greater light radius (or both). But even still an awesome entry!
Games super hard
Mac please!
Easy and Normal modes added! Thanx for the feedback guys.
I dig it buts definitely abit too hard to tell where you are going.
Download link is broken :(
Download link is okay ^^
the music is great. It's hard to see the walls. clicking in the window brings up a web link which is very annoying.
This is a really good entry, but as others have said its a bit too hard and I'm the type of person to like hard games. If you had 2-3 hp per try, I think it would make a big difference.
Cool game if super difficult. Level of polish is impressive!
Great music and graphics, but it really is impossibly difficult, so I didn't get to see much of it before I got too frustrated and had to quit.
Looks amazing but way too hard for me :/
Maybe if the light radius was just a tad bit wider.
Great entry overall though!
I would play it, but I'm on an iMac.
Really amazing art. Also loved the music. Sadly it was way too hard for me to get past the beginning. Really tough difficulty ramp and tight spaces, made worse by the loooooong load times to restart. But the story and the world were incredible, awesome job, glad I played it!
great graphics. game was really hard, even on easy mode. i gave up after about 15 tries. would be great to have a version that was a bit more forgiving and you took damage for hitting walls instead of instant death. missing sound effects. would be great to have some feedback on hitting the walls. for some reason the left / right controls felt backwards to me. would love to have a setting to reverse them, partly contributed to the game feeling hard to me.
Very difficult to play, even on easy mode... Maybe you could improve the radius of the player's light source? The graphics and music are awesome! I love the particle effects.
Looks rad... but I can't play as I don't have Windows.
Too hard but cool.
Even easy mode is too hard for ma, haha. Realy cool graphics and interesting gameplay.
I found it really really hard, but so beautiful and mood-setting, that I gave this full marks. Please, please do something with the difficulty, I like this too much :)
