I really like this game with his light and his goal the graphics is assuming as pixel art
really moody game.
I'm in love with this art style! This is a really nice looking game. Lighting the level, and getting to see how my previous runs have changed the level is a fun idea.
I'll admit though, other than just running around, I really didn't know what I was meant to be doing? What was the deal with the "Energy of Cog"? Just a little more direction, even on the game's pages, would have helped a little!
But other than that, great job!
@tom-robson yes i know this game suffer of a big lack of information... cog and elevator are the mainly concerns. I work on it :)
@elmando2333 @konect thanks :)
I really like the ambiance and the univers of this game. I'm not really good on plateform games but I enjoyed it, that's really a good job, especially for a compo game. GG !
Beautiful game with a strange aesthetic and a freaky mood. I liked playing with lights - it's a good gameplay. Your project fits with the theme. I would like to hear some background music or sounds, but there is nothing on WebGL version. I have to return right now exploring the darkness - my old friend :)
really beautiful game! the ligh effect was so nice and moodye. good job!
Really polished - love the aesthetic and mood!
@nounka @m11 thanks! it was really hard to make this game and i consider it unfinished :) so i'm glad it was appreciated like this. @geckoo1337 @finntastico I'm happy the light is working fine, I spent a lot of time on it due to some silly bug ...
Looks good, cool concept and interesting usages of the lightbulb!
A few things I found frustrating that could be easy fixes: - ladders being usable or not is not super clear looks-wise - I found a few shortcuts... that I could use only once due to the state of the game not changing - you die right away when you set a lightbulb? I see the logic but it kills your run.
Cool base and concept though, would like to see where it can expand!
thanks @bidentworks for your review :) diying when you set a lightbulb is the main intention of the game ;) it allow you to use your run (for example when you don't have enough energy to go farer) for simplify futur run. I understand that many mechanics are hard to understood and i work on it ;) I hope that being more clear on the mechanics will be enough to solve frustrating element of the game :| not sure i understand your second point, could you give me a specific example? some shortcuts are meant to be used once, but the elevator is not, but they are really unclear and this is the first thing I will work on :)
Damn I like it a lot but at the same time I miss movement with arrow keys as alternative option to WSAD. If you are considering carrying on post-jam, it is worth finishing.
ah yes i forgot that :) thanks @onnofal i'll do it
this was a really enjoyable game, i love the persistance.
really excelent, great fibes and solid gameplay, I wasn't able to really get why I would or wouldn't light up my lightbulb though, maybe I missed something but yeah, that would help :P even so, solid entry, 10/10
@jcmonkey @landerack thanks :) When your lightbulb is off, you consume less energy, so switching when you know the way or when you are near a light allows you to go further in your run ;) You're not forced to use it anyway.
The simple browns look great , very moody. I wish I could hear those cogs turning though :)
@judgeclark thanks :) and no sorry i won't work on sound for this game, like the others. I know that it could improve a lot the mood but i'm really bad at sound design...
I'm in love with this. Neat art style. Clever mechanic with the energy and how I have to prepare the way for myself. Some sound would make the game perfect.
The lighting and art style are really nice. Wish there was some sound and music to go with it. I honestly had no idea what I was doing though lol
Beautiful game, nice mechanics, I just missed the music and sound effects, for the rest, amazing!
