Awesome graphics and effects!
So sweety to play on this :D

Woaaah! Nice art!
Your interpretation of the theme is really nice and the gameplay is funny! Not so easy game!
Great Job guys, well done!

Made it to 1:06, pretty cool, it feels well polished, so it's nice to play. Good job!

volkoivan 2015-04-21 15:09

@Nikteddy92 sadly, art wasn't made by us, we even discard that category from voting in our game. These are free assets we found on the internet, so thanks to that cool guys!
Thank you

lol its a funny one ,prety good idea ^^ nice work

Wow, really impressive! My only feedback is that I can't play very effectively with a track pad, maybe adding keyboard controls would be helpful. Other than that, this is a great entry!

Amazingly cool for such a simple game, the tension when you need to decide if you turn off the lantern is real :D

dwemthy 2015-04-21 15:21

Great concept and pretty tough. Good feeling of suspense sitting with the light off waiting to hear a roar.

kostyan1996 2015-04-21 15:30

0:47, pretty challenging, I like it!

mcburrobit 2015-04-21 15:32

Interesting idea, the fear effect could have an impact on the aim of the pinecones, as if you're not particularily jumpy, you can just leave the light off until you hear a bear, turn it on to aim and turn it off again without the screen shaking and static affecting the gameplay much.

Good idea. )

Nice entry! The flashlight mechanic reminds me of Amnesia, and is just as intense!

Great effort :)

I survived 78 seconds and now this is definitely my favorite game, particularly because of the pine cones as a weapon. Also, the plot is so close to real life :)

thegamefather 2015-04-22 09:29

The idea is cool. I like the flashing light mechanics, it's just like the shorter version of Five Nights at Freddy's. Great job!

esayitch 2015-04-22 09:31

Pretty cool concept and the darkness mechanic is really well-made. Game is a good challenge! Graphics were all right, that bear sprite when he kills you is really nice xD Sound was on key too, spooky without being corny.

Good job!

Very fun and addictive, this game is quite challenging!

goblin 2015-04-22 09:38

Simple but really cool

0:58 in the first try!! Nice effects, nice execution, keep working, you are going places!

mykaelos 2015-04-23 04:14

It's a really fun game, and the mechanics build tension really well! It's a simple, but very complete game. Well done!

yword 2015-04-26 14:13

Great idea, and the game is really fun and quite challenging! Maybe you can add some survival games' mechanics like finding foods or setting barriers. Well done!

norwalnate13 2015-04-26 15:57

I absolutely loooooove the fear effect! I get so tense.

shadow64 2015-05-04 08:08

Yeah! This was fun. It simultaneously had me nervous but also laughing which is not an easy combination to get from people.

I don't know what else to say, I just really enjoyed this. Maybe the reload on the pinecones could be better? Or there could be a better indicator of when the bears are close with your flashlight turned off?

But for a jam game? Awesome! Thanks for playing and reviewing my game as well. And congrats!

exeneva 2015-05-05 07:15

This is an interesting survival entry. Quite humorous too!

killako 2015-05-05 18:13

Very innovative game! I like the use of resource management i.e. the resource of visibility. Good work!

yuigoto 2015-05-10 15:01

Nice entry and nice take on the theme! :)

This whole thing about managing lights and shooting is also a good thing! It's simple, but not easy, and the "fear" effect is also nice! :3

embalaje 2015-05-10 15:47

WOW! Intense! It acelerates my heart trobs. Easy gameplay to understand and very effective.
Good job!

weaselzone 2015-05-10 15:54

One of my favorites so far! Super simple to grasp, but quite challenging, just how games need to be. I love the animation of the bear running.

seconddimension 2015-05-10 15:54

Looks and sounds great! An original idea too, good work. Final thought: Bears are scary

chromebookbob 2015-05-10 16:03

This is one of the truly FUN games I've played from LD32

sledknight 2015-05-10 16:15

Hahaha, I played this one because of the running bear in your postmortem. Glad I did. Very fun. Hard to right-click on my trackpad, but that's my own problem. I liked balancing fear with visibility. Fun!

nameoftheuser 2015-05-10 16:43

Pretty nice!

dejvo 2015-05-10 18:37

nice graphics! shame that it wasn't made by you. the game itself is not that original but it's an original take on theese types of games. it was pretty neat ;)

puppetmaster 2015-05-10 18:55

Good combination of music, sound fx and gameplay.
Well done!

sorlok 2015-05-11 01:35

Great mood; exciting and good mechanics!
