Really cool game ! Coherent from start to finish with a really fitting mood. The controls are easy enough to figure out and overall the game mechanics are understandable easily without much help needed.
The enemies are challenging without being unfair, though I had trouble figuring out that light didn't do anything to them.
All the levels are feasible and challenging without being too difficult and they are appropriately progressive.
Great job overall, even though apart from the lighting effects, the graphics are a bit dull.

Oh I almost forgot, I love the cutscene screens. :D
Great audio and loved the black blobs and lighting, but the character graphics stood out. I think it would work better as just a square. Easy to understand controls and gameplay. Nice work.
I really enjoyed playing this game!
The cutscenes are nice, the mechanics make sense (except for the light having no influence on the darkness) and the level design is great, i especially liked the level in the beginning where you had to time the movement of your light and the gates opening/closing.
But you probably should've made the light move faster, and made some halls in the levels a bit shorter.
The hero's movement controls don't work for me. Not sure why. Otherwise seems pretty cool.
A very polished entry. I found the game rather fun and enjoyable, up to the level when you're stuck in a white box with black fog all around you, which was like hitting a brick wall. Audio is great, visuals are OK, a few humor elements. Overall, a well deserved 4 for polish and level variety!

Interesting concept though it felt quite slow and I feel the design and interactions need to be rethinked a lil bit. Nice entry overall! ( black fogs slowed my computer down a bit)
good job!
This looks like a neat game, but it's unplayable, dude. The aiming reticle is inverted which makes it impossible to play with a mouse. Also, your intro text is upside-down. I don't know if it is just me, but you should consider fixing it. Best of luck!
Pretty cool game, died twice in the final level but was able to finish it. Level design is impressive for a 48 hour game jam. The game had some good ideas, and executed them well.
I kinda looked for more options to use our glowy companion with, such as using it as a temporary shield against darkness attacks.
Thank you for this good game. Keep up the good work.
