Although the graphics seemed very dark, at least on this display, what I could see looked very neat. The music helped to set the mood nicely. The gameplay itself was functional but not very engaging.

A magikarp and a millenium falcon?!? I love this game! Nice graphics
The controls didn't work for me, I couldn't move but I could see some good work was done here, so well done :)
Only problem I had was losing track of mines once they became almost vertically above or below me. Perhaps a pencil thin up-down light would resolve that without breaking the reveal nature of the broad forward light.
Great atmosphere. Good job!
The music was nice and I liked the idea of a side scroller that you can only see so much ahead.
The limited vision provided a twist on a familiar style of game.
I felt it was a bit slow, so ended up on the right side of screen a lot, and then hitting mines while going backwards.
Nice mood and simple gameplay!
I did die a few times too many because I was evading a mine, or trying to catch a treasure and then running into another mine with my tail.
So yea, maybe getting a better indication where they are on the vertical level might fix that problem
i found the CARP!! GG. great sprites a little dark.
Well done ! Mood, Graphics and Audio are good and I like the easter eggs !
Really.. immersive. Nice gameplay, well done !
I found the Magikarp, but couldn't get the BTS-1300.
Really cool! I wished things had changed a bit over time (maybe it did and I couldn't tell)
Something as simple as a color change, or different/more fish/treasure/bombs.
Star Wars inspired cartoonish style game!
Fun to see something besides pixels!
I liked the graphics, but the gameplay wasn't very engaging. The music was good, too! Well done!
Loved this. built on a mechanic I haven't seen before in a side scroller. Good job!
Nice mood with the music + little light.
You get extra stars for Magikarp :D
38! Very atmospheric little game! No Magikarp for me though...
A game where most of the time all your screen show is blackness is not a good game in my book. Gameplay is about navigating between dangerous object and good objects without seeing well. Uninteresting. The graphics don't blend. Like, you left white outline around the mines. Bust mostly, they looked detached from the background and surrounding. Maybe because of their high resolution, level of details, lack of animation, staticness, or whatever.
Thanks for your participation.
interesting idea, think the darkness is a bit too dark causing the game to feel a little random :) but it's a great idea!
Cool soundtrack, liked the lighting effects!
Nice idea & it has a kind of soothing rhythm to it. The music, in particular, was great!
A bit... dark :p
I like the limited field of vision, makes you progress thoughtfully through the level.
Pretty good audio! The huge fish are pretty funny to see haha
Has a nice touch to it! I would've liked a way to rotate the direction of the ship (or just the light source).
I think it's a bit too dark, but I understand what you were going for. Other then that it's pretty great!
I found nemo! Or... nemos rather... the lighting really makes this game cool. Great job :)
It seemed dark at first, but then I realized you saw the items at a good distance with the light, just that the little glowy things were the first I saw and they were barely visible compared to the rest.
I guess that's what makes the challenge in the core gameplay loop, which is quite minimalistic otherwise.
Controls were fine, looks and sounds decent.
I wasn't able to start playing. I was clicking the any key but it wasn't starting for some reason.
wow - way to dark. too bad because under that darkness is something cool. that game over effect was sweet as well. nice effort.
Hit a lot of mines going backwards. FOV is a little small. All in all a good game. Nice Job
that game over voice is creepy :)
I like how we need to coordinate between using mouse and the arrow button. Need a bit of skill when I have only the touch pad and arrow button :p
A very nice game with references, good gameplay & a great random level design. I love it, really. Congrats !
Very nice, the lighting works really well.
Amazing atmosphere! And i love that "Game Over" sound!
quite liked the music and the darkness of the game ..good job :)
Good game, maybe the speed could slowly increased and the cone of vision be a bit wider.
I wish the light was a bit brighter or that you could aim it behind you, but other than that I had a lot of fun. The background track was also amazing catchy.
Maybe a little too much darkness, but nicely presented and implemented.
Audio makes good mood. A bit too dark for me.
The lighting effect looked pretty nice, and the art overall was pretty good. I would have been cool to have a little more action - like if the fish swam around or something. A little sonar wave that pulsed out infrequently to give you a brief hint as to where things are outside of the light might have been cool as well.
cool game, funny stuff! I like the graphics, and everything seemed appropriately dark. Fun game!
I really liked the sound in this game. Art was not bad but inconsistent. The darkness mechanic worked well, but was a little monotonous. It would have been nice for some things to break up the rhythm, like faster moving objects or bonuses that light up for a second and disappear. Overall, good job!
The music was nice, really mood setting. The gameplay itself was interesting, though I wish it could have been faster/more varied. Very solid 48 hour entry though. :)
Nice concept!
