This is a really nice game! The mechanic was pretty innovative and it definitely had me engaged. Perhaps your game over sequence could be more polished, otherwise, Great Job!

Really cool game! I like the shadow and light mechanic. I think there's lots of room to expand to explore the light interactions further, water to put out torches, walls blocking the light, you get the idea. The controls could use a little tightening up, the jump felt kind of floaty, but great game overall!

Liked the atmosphere. I think the mechanics are simple but very well executed and enjoyable ;)

Liked:
- atmosphere set by the art and the background music
- the game mechanic's simplicity
Disliked:
- the feel of the platforming
Final words:
Congrats on a complete and polished-feeling game!

Nice mood and shadow/light mechanic. The controls did feel a bit floaty to me, and sometimes the ground tiles blended into the background too much. Other than that good work.

Really enjoyed playing this game. I like how you fade into the light instead of having a health bar.

Had a nice time playing this game! Very charming pixelart, fitting music and an interesting mechanic.

Nice. I really like the look of the game and the concept. Has potential to be developed farther. The jumping gave me a lot of trouble, though, felt like I was fighting the controls more than the game itself.

Awesome game! Really good exploration of that single mechanic in such a short amount of time. I played it all the way through : )

Great job introducing the mechanic slowly and ramping up. Love the graphics too.

Very nice! Played to the end; soothing tune, good visual style and mechanics, would play an expanded version :-)

Oh, I love this! The art style is beautiful, and we really get into the mood of the hunted monster! The game's fun, too, and the platforming works well. Congrats!

Awesome, polish, add a story and release :)

Great game, intressting mechanics to take damage from light, also cool that you can guide the people in directions. Gameover and Win Screen could be polished a bit more, otherwise, Great Game

there are lot of levels, it's nice. I was captivated by the sad atmosphere.

glaenn 2015-08-27 20:04

Very nice game with a really nice atmosphere. The pixel art looks great!

hotboxgames 2015-08-28 19:59

Oh wow, that was actually a lot of fun figuring out how to lure the dudes and jumping at the right moments to avoid lights, this could grow into something cool if done right!

cheesyramen 2015-08-28 20:00

Pretty neat twist on stealth gameplay! Could be really interesting if you choose to develop it further after the jam. Great job! =)

I really like the game mechanics. Nice combination of platformer and puzzle game. Well done!

The lighting effects are also quite nice. It's a bit too bad that the background has lower resolution pixel art than the foreground graphics. Doesn't quite fit together in my opinion.

And real good music! Too bad that the loop is so short and ends so abruptly.

ripter 2015-09-02 04:12

Awesome game! The music fit the mood really well.

I very much liked the music and how it felt it reflected the level of hunted I was. Graphics was nice too. I had some issues with the controls, it was sort of hard to get a good feel for them. I don't know if this was true or not, but it felt like getting light on you while having up velocity on you sort capped that jump. Which made the start of a level a bit in really annoying. But in general, the game was really nice. I would have, to increase the feeling of being hunted, liked the music to never decrease in stress level. Only increase and increase for every level you manage until you die.

Nice puzzle-platformer!

igoramendola 2015-09-06 04:01

Pretty cool concept and use of the theme. It's the kind of game that I finish and want more levels. Well done ^_^
