This game is interesting as a concept, but it's too difficult to get anywhere. I would recommend making it easier to dodge, and making the jump more responsive. The feeling of a jump is the most important part of a platformer.
I really like the idea and the mood of the game. Graphics, animation and sound make it interesting to play ! It's a pity that the controls are hard to manipulate ! And it makes me feel like the fail condition by shoot was random.
Great mood, great graphics. I had my bulb shot out early on but somehow kept going blindly and made it? Not sure if that was intended or not. Jumping should be instant, not just when the animation is best positioned.
Cool game! I wish the jumping was more responsive, but generally enjoyed the experience. I like looking around and seeing the Munch painting - and wished there was more opportunity for exploration. Nice work!
It's Pixar gone darrrrrk. The 2D animation is wicked, I would love to squish those nasty little snipers :) Music really adds to the whole mood, especially after your bulb's gone :D excellent stuff!
I glitched through the floor a few times. Holding down right or left while starting repeatably results in me falling through the floor. Moving around is difficult. I think you should automatically reset the level after having your lightbuilb shot out, otherwise you just have to blindly stumble through the darkness until you fall off somewhere. Winning isn't really possible at that point anymore.
Besides that, the game creates a really interesting feeling that I very much enjoyed.
robhor, not resetting the level when your light is out is intended. it is possible to finish when you are not far from the exit door, cause it is not affected by light effect. if you stuck with lightbulb broken, just hit R to reset the game.
Cool idea, though sad to see the Pixar lamp hunted down like that =( The collision is a little off, like holding right when you hit space to start causes you to fall through the floor. Well done!
First time I've rated a 5/5 for Mood! Maybe you should make the jump instant, controls will feel more responsive that way. Other than that great game overall, I really like the graphics. Good job!
Very cool. This one is going straight to my tumblr. I really like how the light can be shot out great use of theme here and very moody. 5 stars well done!
Great art style and nice work with the lighting. As other said, the jumping was hard, maybe lose a bit of fluidity/syncing for the animation to allow an instant jump.
Very surreal and dark! I love these pixar-lamps (owned one as a kid, bought another one from IKEA when I needed new furniture on college few years ago :-) Unfortunately for this otherwise great game the movement is really wicked -- I fall through solid floor few times, somehow wasn't able to jump over sometimes a when I had luck to avoid this control-related problems, these * guys cracked my bulb :-) I was feeling like I'm gonna SCREAM...

So close and yet so far :)
