You'll need to get a copy of Love2D from their website for your platform.

Well looks cool, but Idk if I can play, I'm on a mac...

@csaunders: Take a look here: https://www.love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution

I guess that would count as a port :)

You're mood score would've been higher had there been music and sound effects. Take a look at abundant-music.org and consider hitting random things in front of a microphone for sound effects.

My arm hurts now after having had to use the mouse so carefully, I made it to level 4 before I had to stop. I must admit, I'm a sucker to the text that appears. Maybe you could add some motivational text after every level is completed?

Overall a good entry, but it would be nicer if you could in some way make the mouse less sensitive ;).

Interesting game! I wish the corridors were a bit wider, and a little atmospheric music would've made it pretty amazing.

Damn this game was hard, but really pretty.

At first I had no idea what I was doing

Cool idea. Took a while to figure out how it worked since it would have made more sense if the light hit the walls and stopped, so the instructions could be better. But overall i liked it :)

I found a cheat.. not sure how tho... maybe I spammed 'D' :D http://i.imgur.com/e9fRE9P.png anyway, nice game :P

The first time I won instinctively, then I understood what was happening. Quite a nice game !

Yolo I downloaded Love. I enjoyed the game.

i like your idea :)
sometimes the feedback of the light was slow to appear and i collided with the walls even tho i thought nothing was there
some ambient audio would improve greatly the mood of the game :) nice job!
