Very amusing game. I especially liked the monster noises
I like the whole flashlight mechanic. The flashlight looks cool, but I think it would be even better if it had more of a falloff to the light, instead of just on/off for each square. So fully bright for squares near you and in the center, slightly lit for ones far away or off to the sides.
The audio was a little hard to hear, so maybe the level could be brought up some.
Nice job though. I enjoyed playing it.
Very nice flashlight mechanic and smooth gameplay! I tested it on Arch and found a minor bug: while the main menu is showing, if the window loses focus and you go back to it,it prompts you to press F and then shows an error.
Nice work!
Great game, if you're into horror. Also, it wasn't very clear as to what exactly I should do. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fight against the monsters, so I don't know if you can call the flashlight a weapon.
I'm loving both your mechanics and those little monster noises! I blare my audio so I didn't have any trouble hearing 'em, I wish there was more dithering with the flashlight, a la minesweeper, might keep the suspense up a little bit!
Didn't know you could kill enemies at first, lol, should've read the README from the getgo. :P
Wow this game was awesome! I won with a deathcount of 52.
The theme mechanic was fun to use, and the monsters created a lot of moments of panic. It was really well balanced. The game combined the puzzle of figuring out how to approach the level with the tactics of dodge-fighting the monsters really smoothly.
Controls were problem-free, critical for a game like this.
Interesting mechanic, though it gets quite hard in a rather frustrating way. A lot of times you just die in a fraction of a second without being able to react. Maybe that was the idea. Anyway, I did make it to the end so I enjoyed it overall. Nice work.
@Anas Azmi, the flashlight IS a weapon. The monsters die if they remain in the light for too long.
Interesting game! I really like that light mechanics :)
Cool gameplay it took me a while to figure out what to do, but when I did it was fun.
Nice job! The second to last level was rather hard with the lights turning back off, but altogether very cleanly done!
Very cool! The monster go a little too fast for me, but it still very enjoyable. The idea is pretty great too!
Cool game. The graphics style fit great and the concept is amazing. At the third level I had to give up though, I just couldn't find a way around the monsters, so that got a bit frustrating. Lovely game otherwise :)
I liked the music and sound effects. The mechanics were well done. The monsters killed me fairly often :). Good work!
