Love the atmosphere in the game. You've created awesome experience!

I was going to mentioned but you just did about animations. Other than that I had some fun playing it.

The graphics and sound are nice, they give a good atmosphere to the game. Had some trouble avoiding the falling floor, as most of the times I would stop to crank the lantern right before or on a broken floor without noticing.

I really liked the atmosphtere and the characters and also the afraid looking pictures in the background! I also liked how you involved the tutorial in the game with the speaking pictures. Nice and funny game :)

Hey! I played this game for about 10 minutes. My record was 63 meters.

I really liked the sounds - they helped to create a great spooky atmosphere.

I actually quite the game after I couldn't get the crank to work and kept dying at the first baddie painting. Then I saw on your description above that you can't crank and run. Maybe it'd be better if you always let the character turn the crank but it forces them to stop. Then you don't need to tell them with words, they'll just find out for themselves.

With the damaged floors, I feel like they need a "tell" of when they're going to collapse, I found it very hard to predict when to jump.

Graphically, I really liked it - it's got quite a Grim Fandango vibe about it which was pretty cool. I didn't really get why the corridor was crumbling away behind me. I initially thought it was chasing me but I realised it stopped when I did.

Theme-wise, you nailed it, and it was great to see something other than battery pickups as a recharge mechanic!

Well done :)

Great atmosphere and graphics. The collapsing floors are a bit hard to notice and I often fell when I stopped on them to crank the lantern.

Still, it was fun to play, fit really well with the theme, and the talking pictures in the tutorial were a nice touch. Well done!

Nice idea. I like the main character and its animations well done, with that said I found the light shadows too distracting, maybe try to keep the hand that holds the light in the same position.

Really liked the games mood, the music was really fitting, good job!

Good controls, fitting music and the mood was so good. My record was 72 after playing for 15 mins or so. I think you should make it so you can crank and run and it would draw more players. Good job and keep it up!

The music and controls are very good. I liked the game atmosphere and graphics too. Good job. :D
