I'd love to play this game, but after clicking on the link it said there was an internal server error and no download started.

@Tyro, game will be up in a few minutes :)

Really good looking world!

Really relaxing and beatiful game, too bad that Esc key quits to the main menu without asking

This game reminded me about wisps from Warcraft 3 :) Cool level design for two days in development!

I like almost everything about this game, the night air with ambient sound of the crickets, flying over a forest near the sea, ...it is certainly a very romantic idea, and also has a spiritual touch, I must say that there is many dead animals to collect and a short lamp life to do haha

Awesome game, that shows what a three man team can acomplish in 72hours, good job guys!

@juaxix you can refresh the lantern :D! But there is a catch to this game.. It has to do with lantern consumption speed and your movement speed. :)

Love this game, even for the graphic ;)

Great graphics and sounds, but not enough gameplay, going there and back over and over is kinda boring. Maybe you should add enemies, upgrades, something else.

Really loved the environment. The mushrooms, water, lighting... I felt like I was in a real forest.

I had a little trouble controlling the camera at first. The sensitivity on the control is a little high, but I became used to it after a while.

I also like how you handled the world boundaries by draining the lantern's fuel faster when you enter the ocean. Great entry!

Lovely mood and ambiance!

awesome grafics, really cool game

jhelle 2013-04-30 20:05

Awesome graphical style. Didn't feel like there was much else to do, maybe I was missing something.

Screenshots remind me of "Black Lake" from Double Fine, which is cool, couldn't play it though as I have no XNA stuff.

I don't know what happened, but there the LudumDare26.exe crashed right after launching it :-(
I have Win7 Home Premium 64

My best score was 3840. Really great graphics and sound. Enjoyable and challenging. Nice work.

davidemo89 2013-05-02 21:06

Cool graphic

intripoon 2013-05-03 12:22

The game feels good while playing. Maybe I missed it, but is there a goal? I keep running around collecting while there is no enemy?

misfit 2013-05-03 12:23

Nice graphics

minionstudios 2013-05-04 20:19

Very nice! from the materials to the animations, good work!

kyyninen 2013-05-05 21:19

Wonderful mood and love the theme, I just don't know if watching meters fill/run out is the most engaging game mechanic. Some kind of warning sound when lantern is half full would have been nice!

It's midnight now where I am, this was the perfect game to end the day and go to sleep.

Very interesting game, simple, yet gorgeous looking!

depp 2013-05-12 08:35

Excellent atmosphere, but the gameplay is a bit sparse.

dalbinblue 2013-05-12 14:21

Beautiful game with an excellent atmosphere, but the game-play is lacking. An obstacle or some progression in the game that makes the players feel like they are accomplishing something would help.

The camera controls are a little too sensitive. Not having any vertical control over the camera view felt a bit odd, particularly when returning to the tree when your view is very obstructed. The art and feel of the game is very nice though.
