Wow! I'm surprised. Although is so simple and short I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the weird ilumination. Batteries' position have to be reduced and improved but having two energy sources to fill is a good mechanic to make the player frustrate. Music is also enjoyable but the loop is so short, so a bit repetitive despite adding new "instruments"
Good job :)
Great job for your first game and LD entry! Though I could see some of the stuff you used was directly pulled from Unity (hehe), I absolutely loved the lighting choice. You could've used a typical flashlight light, but with those square patches it made everything seem much more strange and mysterious. The music also provided a very eerie mood to the game, which I enjoyed.
Just a sidenote, I had a hard time reading the energy percentage text when the labyrinth was well powered and brighter. Maybe you should change the font color as the labyrinth gets brighter, so it always contrasts with the background?
Anyhow, good job :)
@dragojt Hi my first feedback :) Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The battery positions are what I did during the test phase, then I forgot it to change :joy:
@kapricorn-media Glad you love lighting :) I think lighting is most important thing for the games and I tried to do my best. You right, I can change the font color according to the light. Thank you!
Hey @veak - [you put your game on my list to play](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/end-of-time/whos-not-had-any-love-link-your-game-for-me-to-play), and [I streamed the play-through on Friday](https://youtu.be/-DEvWdMWCKk?t=11644), I managed to find the teleport which was nice. Overall I think your game really suited the theme, and was well put together, I don't know if there were any traps or anything else 'inside' the maze (other than the inanimate snakes, but I think seeing other things running around would have made it so much scarier :)
Pretty good game!
Super scary. I made it out just in time and I felt like the happiest man on the planet. Good job!
You got a really nice horror atmosphere going on here! Was completely expecting something to jump out at me!
One thing, the labyrinth charge mechanic was a little confusing, I thought it was just a way to drain power from you and maybe a spooky monster popped out past a certain percentage! I only realised after reading these comments that it actually lights up the area. Also, I don't quite get what you meant by jump on snakes, I couldn't see anything from jumping on them, I kinda just guessed where the end was lol.
Anyway, awesome game for a first entry! Keep at it man!
@TolMera Thank you for your suggestions!
@drums I was watching you and it was fun :smile: I'm happy too!
@mickeyg Thanks for suggestions! Actually I made a lot of mistakes. You can climb some snakes and you could see finish point :grin:
interesting idea. couldn't figure out the point of jumping on the snakes or how to actually get to the end.
Nice game, good atmosphere. I didn't find the teleport until it got really dark. I don't know if the light of the teleport made it easier in the dark or I just got really lucky. :smile:
Had fun though, good job :smile:
Good job! Good music. Interesting idea.
Neat little game! Overall I was pretty happy! kinda wish the light the player produced wasn't so patchy with dark spots, but I still was able to beat the game!
