Nice music, it matched the visuals and the concept really well. And the game's simplicity really adds to the experience. Noice!

Nice, little game. Quite fun! :) I got 155 seconds.

Once you read the description :P the point of what you need to do makes sense. I love this game. I love the idea, and the gameplay is balanced. Give us a timer so we know what we're fighting for maybe with a highscore above it! Also consider developing this game further and porting onto ipad. Could be great!

Also, music, sounds, brillent.

I'm going to tweet this game. More people should try it.

interesting concept! very pretty.

I considered adding a timer, but I was afraid it might ruin the atmosphere a bit. So I settled for the subtle seconds "score" at the bottom of the game over screen.

Thanks for all the nice comments! :)

Good mood for a game. I kind of wish there were more game mechanics to play with but this is LD, so things are going to be minimal.

It doesn't need a timer, although something that tells you if you are getting a good score or not would be nice; something graphical, maybe. Its really simple, but it's fun.

Pleasant. The movement feels a bit heavy, considering I'm just a light. I like the invisible things scattered around the scene. Might've been interesting for touching the orange light to make it shrink a little and then grow back over time - if you had to subsist off it without putting it out entirely there'd be a cool balancing act here.

At times meditative, other times tense. Love the music selection! Reminds me of The Marriage a bit. :)

Best mood I've seen yet. The AI on orange is good enough that I almost feel like it's also playing the game, and it's trying and failing to run away from me.

Fantastic atmosphere, music and sound matched up so well with the serene pace and movement of the game play. I almost think even the score at the game over screen is unnecessary - it was very pleasant just floating around the environment at my own pace.

WOW! What a great game, every thing tied together so well, love the music and the audio when they collide. I don't know how to feel, tense or relaxed when playing! haha

This game has cause a stronger visceral reaction than most games I've rated so far. I think you have the framework for a game about bullying. I would really like to see you do something with this post-LD.

Nice entry. Love the idea!!! A timer in game would be perfect to keep track of the score. Got 144 seconds!!

legacycrono 2014-12-09 20:46

It's interesting but maybe too easy. I scored 149 and I just lost because I got bored. Very charming presentation, and the audio really fits the atmosphere. Well done! =)

Great sense of mood and atmosphere!

satyre 2014-12-09 22:20

I totally like the mood of the game. It leads to numerous ways for interpretation. Good work :)

How soothing =3

gafblizzard 2014-12-11 06:13

Very soothing music. I'm not sure if the background pieces have any significance -- it seemed the only mechanic was trying to bump the light repeatedly.

toadfrogs 2014-12-21 11:06

I shone brightly for 177 seconds. Simply beautiful with the soothing audio.
