Good game, I wasn't overly fond of having to wait for the altars to charge up though.

maybe write on the weblink that it's unity ? :) as a partial Ubuntu user i can't use the unityweb thing.. :/
Graphics are a bit too dark to my liking, but the rest is pretty nicely done :)
i really like the dark ambiance
The time mechanics become very tedious
Moody and looks good, but the platforming mechanics are a bit too clumsy to get very far.
Nice entry for your first Ludum Dare. The game was interesting though a bit buggy.
Nice atmosphere and music :) ! The altar idea is great. I find the game too easy though.
Nice mood and the animations are really cool (despite being buggy at times).
Great mix of music and setting/style. I've seen a lotta video game crypts in my day, but I was still into this.
The timing-based challenges were a bit repetitive, and more random feeling than challenging when in a rush.
fantastically dark mood. I love it!
Very nice climbing mechanics and great mood! I wish there were more levels.
Nice idea with the altars. Very good atmosphere and sound. The jumping felt a bit strange.
very cool style
No I couldn't get to the ending, tried and failed... :( Still, I liked the style of the game, and the music was great!
Very well done. Check that ledge grab! Nice music, good mood. wasd work to control the character, but w doesn't work to activate altars or use doors. that's a little strange.
Cool atmosphere, I enjoyed the later challenging levels :)
Nice dark vibe. Controls were floaty at times, but the grabbing ledges mechanic was well done. Level design could've been more interesting.
it crash my browser (Chrome) the first time, 2nd time, i finish the game. a bit repeating gameplay, but very good mood !
awesome job, liked the edge-hold effect when you don't make a jump, nice game!
Somebody's played a lot of Abe's Oddysse I see :P Me too, so I made it through first try ^^ For some reason the 'W' button doesn't charge altars so you can't really use the WASD side of the keyboard which is a shame. The hanging/climbing is also somewhat buggy. Other than that I really love this game! The levels are interesting and have a decent difficult curve, and the universe makes me want a longer game where I can explore who this character is and what they're doing praying to altars and exploring caverns.
Great job!
Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I've learned a lot from this experience. My studio has been working hard towards the release of our recent game, so I haven't found much time to work more on Darkvision.
BUT, progress since the end of the LD entry has already been made, and I do intend to release a version that's actually a complete game (even if a short one.) And all your comments are a big motivator towards that goal, so thanks for that everybody! I'll update the page here when I have any news.
