Cool crossbow!
Took me a little while to figure out I could stand on the bolt to climb, and it was very hard to see where to go or figure out what to do. But the idea is very interesting, and I like the look of the bolt lighting up it's path (similar to our game in fact!).
@Nielen I checked out your game, and the way you did the exploration with the light is just fantastic. I only wish my game could have been more like yours! :)
Really hard to find a goal, maybe some instructions?
I really liked the abstract nature of the environment. The message on the floor at the end was pretty nice too :P
@Phyyl I really wanted the game to be self-explanatory, but here's a quick guide/walkthrough if you just want to get through the game; At the first part you jump on the bolt to get up, after that you light up the torches (shooting through a torch lights the bolt on fire), and shoot the ice block/wall with a fire bolt. Then just make your way to the other side of the maze area, you can light up torches for more vision.
Took me awhile to get it but I really liked the idea once I learned what was going on. I think the brightness I had was a bit too frustrating to work with in the end though.
Well, I'm confusing a little bit. There are no goal. But, crossbow is inspires ))
Strange, abstract mood and nice concept, I'd like to see it developed further! :) But the game is too dark in my opinion...
Would have liked a reticle, I also died because I clipped through the floor. I liked the lighting that the bolt gives you. Nice for looking ahead and plotting a course.
Strange game, lacks instruction, concept seems cool though !
