Very nice! Simple and fun. But it crashed after "dogs" level.

It actually ends there (there's a sound for a "gun").
But I think it isn't THAT clear (the sound is not exactly of a gun)...

I liked the mechanics a lot. I've wondered about a game with similar visibility issues, but you've pulled it off pretty fine.
If I had to put a finger on something, I'd mostly put it on the difficulty. I never got past the "Lasers" level (although obviously did - well done XD), and every time I actually progressed it was more a question of luckily pushing against the proper part of darkness :P

None the less, a really good entry. Well done.

Very enjoyable game. The mechanics worked really well with each other and it was fun to play. Shame it was so short would have loved to play more of it.

It seemed as a yet another simple platformer, but the light mechanics gave it that little needed extra twist. Not bad at all.

I think I finished all of it. My favorite part is where you can "escape" by jumping right before the gunman starts laughing. You'll disappear straight through the ceiling and presumably sneak out of harm's way?

Your game is cool... And it would benefit (in my opinion) to be possible the immediate surrounding of the guy... Not just a blink. I couldn't manage to get past from the Laser level =(

N0_Named_Guy, you don't need to know the surround of the character for passing through the game, you just need to know your location to travel between the lights.
The lights are there so you know where to go, and they show hints of their surroundings so you can understand how you can go there.

And thanks for everyone who's playing and posting comments! /o/
