Cool game! The mechanics are really fun, though it took me a little while to work out that you roll in the direction of the cursor.
Pretty hard as well, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. :D

I love the atmosphere. The mechanics are cool. Great submission!

My favorite game so far. I really like the light being the way to get you killed. nice visual design. Great job!

thewalkingkiwi 2016-04-19 02:31

Gorgeous. Loved it.

ethanbierlein 2016-04-19 03:22

Nice! These light-based games are always interesting.

davidcmcdonald 2016-04-19 03:41

This game hit it out of the park for me! im blown away, Can i ask, how did you get transitions working? ie screen fade.

hyden 2016-04-19 04:23

Great game :) Shame that we chose the same name for a game (light shifter) but aside from that I enjoyed it :)

makerart 2016-04-19 06:46

Well done! It's hard as fuck! DArkSouls+Hitman+Commandos Good luck!

2016-04-19 07:07

Very Nice! Bro :)

2016-04-19 07:50

Really huge work is done) great concept and stunning art/design. Congrats.

brainybeard 2016-04-19 09:14

Woah what a great entry. Mechanic is great, graphics are nice and the audio works really well with it out. Overall stunning effort!

sengig 2016-04-19 11:42

Thank you very much guys! I will write a short postmortem (after some nice ammount of sleep) about everything you mentioned above.

mar3k 2016-04-19 12:01

Nice game and quite unique with not being able to actually fight the enemies. Also it is really hard, so I got frustrated so quickly :D. Great job!

henry00 2016-04-19 14:11

Nice game, the difficulty spikes very quickly and sadly I couldn't make it through the entire game but superb! One of the best.

mossi 2016-04-19 14:26

Mood, sound, graphics and innovation extremely well made, what a great game!

muumeroinen 2016-04-19 17:00

Really good! Atmosphere, mechanics and graphics are all good.

rakowu 2016-04-19 18:42

Great level design, and smart use of light. Really good work (Also as artwork)

arvydas 2016-04-19 19:05

Polish, graphics, sounds, SOLID, Love the FOV visuals

josemwarrior 2016-04-19 19:12

Gorgeous, music, graphics and gameplay. 5 stars, but a bit difficult... :/ And no fit with the theme, I think so...

sushin 2016-04-19 19:27

Very interesting concept. Nice game overall!

phoenix1987 2016-04-19 22:07

Really enojoyed it. Thought the light mechanics were really awesome, and was overall a great game to play

waveformmodulations 2016-04-19 23:17

Pretty neat idea using light shifting. The guardians were a little startling!

urfbound 2016-04-20 04:03

Nice stealth-based mechanic using light instead of darkness. Pretty tough game, but I liked how the individual skills were introduced one-by-one and built on over the course of the game. Great graphics and sound effects, overall seemed really polished. Great game!

sir-magic 2016-04-21 19:18

I like how fast the AI were and I loved the music and the graphics. Great game.

reiv 2016-04-21 19:28

Love the mechanics. Nice sounds and graphics.

wolves-direwolf 2016-04-21 19:41

Great! Loved the atmosphere of this one. The difficulty was only frustrating enough to keep me trying. Well done.

mrshoestore 2016-04-21 19:46

beautiful entry. I found it very difficult to roll a second time though. controls never seemed to want to cooperate to allow me to do that

weeping-rupee 2016-04-21 19:55

This game was wonderful
A modern take on the "just avoid hazard" type games (pac mac man, pit fall, etc..)

God the art style is my favorite too.

if the theme was light and dark it woulda fit alot better though, it really is reaching with the title

andyman404 2016-04-21 19:56

I like the music and mood. Awesome shadows. Well done!

pyokoanarogue 2016-04-21 20:25

Here lies the foundation for greatness!

buddydoq 2016-04-21 20:30

Fantastic game overall, loved the style and gameplay. Didn't quite make the connection to the theme, but I admit that I was unable to finish the entire game.

captainpilot 2016-04-21 20:44

Interesting mechanic, *very* tough. Really had fun though!

cerno_b 2016-04-21 21:18

Can't play it unfortunately. I get the error message "he browser could not allocate enough memory for the WebGL content."

I'm in Win7/Firefox. The game looks really wicked, I was looking forward to it.

aeai 2016-04-21 21:49

I died a million times. Awesome game i would die again.

biliogadafr 2016-04-21 22:22

Great entry. I like theme interpretation. Last level was really hard :). Died a few dozens of time near this barrels. Nice game :)

tomlum 2016-04-21 22:34

Very interesting and wonderfully atmospheric, mechanic, music, and art all worked with each other great.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-22 10:18

A great LD entry. The visuals and the music are really cool, the sound effect of the arrows are amazing. The theme is nowhere, sadly.
I'm unable to complete the game, but I don't mind it, I had a lot of fun.

strife47 2016-04-23 02:54

Awesome game, I really liked the graphics and mechanics, congratulations!

fanatrick 2016-04-23 13:09

Liked the stealth mechanics, although a few levels felt arbitrary and too much of a trial and error - most glaringly the one where the skeleton needs to clear your path.

2016-04-24 09:56

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

macronoid 2016-04-24 10:07

The game is fair yet hard to master. Great mechanics and progression.

santiandrade 2016-04-25 18:00

Great game!! I love the work maked with the shadows. Very very nice!

pixelpotions 2016-04-28 14:37

Rad entry, very nice idea, really complete and many ways (graphics, gameplay, song, execution).
Loved the way the skells identifies you because of the light (also the mechanic aplication of the light is really smart)!
I would like to congratulate you guys for that, you're on my top 10 games in this jam EASILY!

scorched 2016-05-07 10:11

Nice way of indicating that enemy will see you!

digitaldude555 2016-05-07 11:37

Really great over all, Great art, music is amazing, gameplay is fun, difficult but not frustrating(maybe a little bit) and gradually introduces new mechanics to the game making it easier to learn to play and master the game.

2016-05-07 14:44

Very good game! fun, beautiful and balanced

tonbery 2016-05-08 17:49

The best game I played to this point :)

1 - not being able to see where I am behind a pillar is a really pain
2 - the dash is really cool but feels kind of loose, it's hard to predict where the dash will end

Maybe less punishing levels on the beginning?

Overally, awesome game!

derr 2016-05-09 07:22

Super addictive gameplay! I have nothing to critisise about this game so here are all the good points:

- Great level design
- The way you introduce new mechanics and ramp up difficulty is on point
- Great athmosphere
- The levels are short and sweet tactic puzzles that are short, so restarting does not feel frustrating but winning feels rewarding.

Too lazy to finish the list so I will just say that I love everything about this game.

cerno_b 2016-05-09 20:03

I tried the game again and now it works for me. Really neat entry, but the difficulty is brutal. Sometimes the character wouldn't roll, which was a bit frustrating.

You nailed the atmosphere though, great job!

francismoy 2016-12-14 17:12

Very nice game! Good game feel and nice atmosphere and visuals. Given that it's a really hard game, I'd reduce the time between you're death and can play again! Good work!
