You have control over only one light source. Use the light to navigate the dungeon.
The circles are pedestals and the squares are doors.
Press SPACE to place your light on a pedestal. Press SPACE to take the light off the pedestal.
Transfer the light to a pedestal to charge up health. Lose health if it is dark or you are carrying the light with you. The pedestals unlock square doors that match that color when they are lit.
The level restarts if you run out of health.
Win by reaching the elusive black light!
CONTROLS: SPACE - take/put a light on a podium A - dash but drains health Arrow keys - move
I had some trouble to understand the idea but once I figured it out it was a nice challenge. I didn't make it to the blacklight though. There's some seems between the tiles visible and I had also problems sliding along tiles. I also felt like sometimes the game wouldn't react to my input but it is also possible that I just missed some rule that made it reasonable. Did you do the music yourself? Or is that actually something that procedural music generators produce these days? Would suprise me :)
The music was generated by cgMusic. Music generation has gotten pretty amazing these days.
Yeah, getting stuck on walls is a big issue. I know why it happens and how to fix it, I just didn't have time. Basically a box2d issue where the wall is made up of separate tiles, so you collide with the corners of them sometimes when you slide along. I'll probably try to fix that next if I keep going with it.
Took me a while to figure out what was going on, a tutorial or some kind of interactive help would have been great. Once I did figure it out though, I enjoyed it! :)
As most comments say it took a little while to figure out what was going on, but i eventually got it and the concept is quite cool. sometimes I felt when i pressed space it wouldn't register, not sure if it was because I wasn't able to put a light there or what, but I got stuck at the second orange spot. Anyway, great music and again great concept. Cheers!
Good core mechanic that was a nice implementation of the theme. Took me a while to figure out how it worked too but managed eventually.
Walls were a bit sticky and there was some flickering between tiles but the music was pleasant and the gameplay/puzzle worked well so I definitely enjoyed it overall.
Took a while to get it but once I beat the game it made me feel very smart: that's how puzzle games should feel, great job! My only complaint is that it's a bit on the short side.

Very nice :)

Seemed to have a few issues where the space key wouldn't register.
