Liked the graphics and OMG the sounds are amazing, as well as the UI. Gameplay is hard but quite fun!

Great music, very dramatic. The game achieved a real sense of atmosphere. I particularly liked the writing on the floor. It was a nice way to guide you through the game. I think a little more work on the combat system is required. It's currently a little tricky to hit the enemies. I couldn't get past the ghosts after you find the light for your sword.

It was scary having monsters pop out at me from the darkness!

The music is fantastic. I would love to hear it with more realistic sounding instruments. As for the game, my only gripe was that it was very hard to tell if there was an enemy coming for you when you weren't right next to a light until it's too late, even if you went slow, making the game very frustrating when I would get far and get attacked in the darkness repeatedly.

Good mechanics, well put together... nice job!

Very nice, like how it has a good lighting system, and the images are very high quality, nice job!

The movement is very fluid, the audio is great and the game is fun, really well done for 48 hours.

Solid solid game. Awesome for 48 hours. You should totally continue work on this. The lighting effects were pretty and the controls where very fluid. +1 internets

Good stuff you have there! I only think that running from ghosts in a dark environment 'kind of' defeats the purpose of exploration. The music is pretty good!

The UI was really good. Neat game

Thanks for sharing your game with me!

Great music. Maybe just few more save-points should be on your way... it's boring to go the same path after death many times. Really good work!

Great atmospheric game, great light, sounds effects. I couldn't figure out how the sword functioned so i ignored most of the enemies.

Really good graphics and audio, nice athmosphere. It's very hard to get past enemies in narrow passages though.

Yay for LibGDX :) Cool game. I really liked the atmosphere and the music!

The graphical effects are really cool, and running out of sun gives some serious tension. The zoomed-in rewinding animation feels unnecessary after the first time, though.

That was pretty fun, looked really pretty with the light raycasting and the stopwatch concept was really interesting and really appealed to me. Nice job on that, shame about the ending.

themaster99 2013-08-27 23:58

Really awesome game! Sound was great, graphics were beautiful, and the ending was (imo) kind of humorous. Great job!

kragnir 2013-08-28 01:17

The attacks seems quite clunky. The light part is pretty odd and the boss didn't seem to do much. Nice graphics.

I found this game pretty hard, but I liked the idea and graphics of it. I featured this game in my compilation video of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/okyxuWBF5Yw

:D

Amazing graphics and audio, smooth animations and cool music. I had a hard time finding my way around the darkness, but it was fun running from light source to light source trying not to get caught. The lighting system looked very nice and really helped the mood.

Have played this game probably more than any other LD game. It has just the right balance of difficulty and intrigue. First few attempts were fails and then once I found the watch I was hooked. really great work. As someone who wishes they put a retry option in their game earlier, I thank you for the checkpoint at the watch! great stuff, you should be proud.

good job

Very fine effort. Very very playable. Thanks for this.
