Cool Entry ! I really like the wall mechanic, it truly makes you wanna optimise the layout of the map
Creative take on the theme! I like the added mechanic of waiting to kill enemies until they were in a good position to turn into a block. With the camera pushed in as far as it is I felt a little claustrophobic, but in a way it leans into the theme a little more because of it. Overall I think this is a good entry, nice work!
Very clear idea to have the enemy drop as a block!
Game is fun, but impossible to play with a trackpad. An alternative key like shift for aiming would be nice.
It took a few tries, but I got to wave 9 - really creative use of the theme! It would have been nice to have some indicator for which enemies had more health, I lost a couple lives to enemies I expected to die but didn't. The graphics all worked together nicely, well done!
Very creative game, I really enjoyed the enemy obstacle mechanic!
Excellent game mechanic! Made it to wave 11, was a lot of fun :D Good job!
yo, Real nice game! interesting take on the theme as well. fun to blockify enemies. Would be cool if the light only shone in the direction that you pointed.
Good game! I don't know if was a skill issue on my part but bullets kept going through enemies without damaging them... otherwise, good job!
I really like this entry, the mechanics are great, it's difficult but in the great way.
Great lil game that looks nice as well. Still trying to get past wave 7 :)
I made it to wave 7, I really liked this concept. Initially I thought why are bodies rectangular :S but then it hit me and damn that's smart! Good job!
Life in the Flesh Pit is hard, yo.
Love the dark, atmospheric vibe of the game! The enemy obstacle mechanic is both challenging and innovative. The visuals are fantastic and add to the overall horror theme. It took me some time to get the hang of the mechanics, but once I did, it became quite addicting. Well done on the concept and execution!
Really fun to play! Gets quite difficult after a while. Limited space working both as a help and a difficulty is really creative.

Thanks everyone for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like, as per usual, some of you are already better than I am at our own game.
@adam-gallina Yes I agree and I think I'll remember that for the next jam. Making sure the players have all the information they need should have been a higher priority I think. We don't want the player to feel like their loss was because of unfair game mechanics.
@steampowered85 This is a good point. We were trying to find a way to add a vision cone to the player but we couldn't solve it in time for the cut-off. But like you said, just making the torch into a cone in front of the player would have been a good compromise I think.
Thanks again everyone!
Love the gameplay. Super cool idea and very fun.
Echoing @cosmogonicfrog 's words, thanks everyone for the feedback! We're glad so many of you have enjoyed, and an especially big thanks to those who gave critical feedback!
That's a cool concept! I just wish it had more content, but it was fun to play anyway. Also, giving a player more info on the time between waves and left enemies would be a nice addition.
Really good concept, Smart use of theme
I really like this application of the theme. I found the game a bit too dark to play on a screen during the day, it's always hard to find a darkness level that works for everyone. I had fun playing this :)
