nice work here :)

Nice entry and a pretty good work on it! ^^

Well done, seems to be a bit buggy on osx/chrome. I'm not convinced that is completely your fault. Again, well done.

Very beautiful experience. The music is tops, and really sets the tone.

One note, I've been exploring on the second level for some time, and the menu with resume, restart, and quit popped up out of nowhere. I can't click resume (every time I try, it fires a light ball off into the distance). Restart worked, but I obviously didn't want to do that.

Really cool experience and setting. I think it's a great proof of concept that you could turn into a polished, larger game.

Super cool! This idea could definitely be expanded into a larger game (survival horror, maybe?). Interesting enemies too, very spooky.

This is a really nice game. I like the mood of it, though the levels being all the same color gets kind of bland after a while. The music adds a lot to it. Would be cool if the light orbs also took into account my own movement.

Audio and ambiance are great !
I really like the concept of the game, great idea.
4/5 from me. Good job !

Some minor issues :
- You sometimes dies by ghost coming from places you didnt see.
- Mouse sensitivity is too high.

was not 100% sure on the goal but that didn't matter. cool idea and the first time a ghost came from nowhere and got me was a little eerie.

Pretty solid game, once you get past the spotty grammar. Very long too :O

Thanks everybody for comments. They are very important to us :)

Pleasure to play. I couldn't understand it at the beggnning. The control is quite rough but it is an innovative idea for interesting gameplay.

Graphics are brilliant and complement gameplay. Gameplay's innovative and fun, building tension all the time. A little buggy, mouse appeared sometimes, lights flickered a bit, and it wasn't particularly clear that I had to light crystals to survive at first. But I love the persistence in each level.
I could see this being a game I'd pay money for if it were expanded upon!

Nice entry :D it could be hard to create in 72 hours

Nice, you put some effort to make a tutorial section. It helped to get into the game much faster that some other LD entries.

myougahiroshi 2014-08-27 18:14

It has a little bug... if you die, the cursor arrives on the screen, and that's a bit annoying >.<

Very good job for 2 people on their first entry. I look forward to your next entries on LD.

Congratz on your first entry, good job! Though you wrote that mouse sensitivity has been reduced, it's still crazy sensitive (at least on my machine, OS X).

Good job!
