What a neat take on the theme, great work!
Thanks!
Nice use of the theme. Great pixel art and solid controls. I do with the halls were a little wider... it seems like there is only one way into the room sometimes and those pesky ghosts are just chilling in my way. Great job. Really impressive.
Great game! I just wish I could use WASD instead of arrows :c arrows + mouse is not the most ergonomic combo on laptops
Music is good. The paths should be a little wider and have more contrast as I couldn't differentiate between the path and walls during the first 20 seconds.
Thanks for the feedback!
The game looks nice, the controls are a bit unconfortable, you should consider having WASD option other than arrows :P
Interesting! I think I might be missing the point. My lantern never got big enough to where it was a threat to me, it mostly stayed 1 size. I was collecting gold but never found out where to drop it off. One of my chests threw gold outside of the playable space, and I found it really hard to understand the layout due to the camera angle / art style.
I eventually got used to it, so not a big deal. :) Nice submission.
Great art and I love the sound effects! The controls are a bit awkward, it would have been nice to have movement using WASD since the mouse is involved. A fun game overall though, nice work.
Cool game, immersive atmosphere, good sounding music.
Had some problems with colliders where ghosts fly through walls (well they are ghosts after all :smile:), or some items getting stuck in a wall like this: Lantern_2017-12-04_23-13-07.png
Great job on your entry! :slight_smile:
Very cool concept! Might be better with more punishment for the player when hitting a ghost. Losing just a bit of fuel isn't that impactful. Nice game besides :D
The chest opening sound effect is officially the greatest thing ever.
The sound design was really spot on and set the mood perfectly, I'm really impressed by those. The best atmosphere I've seen in an LD entry this far.
Gameplay-wise it feels polished and fun. The only thing I'd note is that I feel just collecting money for the bank was too much like real life.
Thanks for playing! And ouch, yeah you're right, that is too much like real life haha. Maybe Randolph the Slate will share it?
Great use of the theme! Only bug I encountered was loot getting stuck in the wall, but these things happen in jams!
Man, that seems like a lot of work went into that. Well done!!! I'm a sucker for a good rogue-like :)
the humour in the description alone was enough to pull me in. The game didn't disappoint either, and it was pretty damn polished! The sound was spot on as well, good work!
Great game! Things get stuck in walls which I'm sure you know. It would have been nice if there was a visual sense of if the ghosts were interested in you. They just looked like they moved randomly. And it would give the player a better sense of control and outsmarting if you can see them get confused or lose interest in you in an animated and obvious way. If I mouse down on the light slider, my mouse should keep moving it even if I move up and down off of it if I never release my mouse button. I regularly was trying to slide it quickly one way or the other and the slider would stop halfway because my mouse moved too far up or down. I played through about 7 levels, would have been nice to know my total gold count and if there was a goal eventually or just random levels all the way down. Also, the ghosts weren't a real threat, I don't know if there is a lose condition but they seemed to just drink some of your fuel when you touched them. Also, I expected the explosive to break down a wall instead of killing ghosts. Overall great mood and art and a very nice game!
Hmmm... It was supposed to show how much gold you had collected total. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for playing!
Really enjoyed this one. The graphics are great, the gameplay smooth and when I had 10 gold on my back the added animations and frustration with movement were both excellent. Loved the sound effects and the music was nice in the background and not annoying or repetitive. A great overall experience.
Great theme interpretation! I really enjoy this game. I would love to see more content.
I loved the sound effects!
Thanks! The sounds are just me and my voice making funny noises into a microphone
Pretty solid overall, good graphics and sound. Great atmosphere, music fit well. Would have liked to be able to move with WASD rather than arrow keys, and perhaps be able to play with just keyboard and not need the mouse. Nicely done!
Nice game. The music felt like it fit the genre really well and I always have to give kudos to people who implement something more complex like random map generation into jam games.
The atmosphere is great. The music creates an eerie feeling.The sound effects are hilarious though.. I think that the maze in the first level is a bit too big.The graphics are minimal but the fit well.Maybe you should add some sound effects for the ghosts when they notice you.
Overall, a solid entry with a great implementation of the theme.
clever game but some of the paths were a little too hard - nice game
Graphics and sounds are nice! Tried to put out the light and use turn-right strategy but failed :D
