> If you come across any other errors or bugs please let me know either in the comments or on twitter so I can fix them as soon as possible!
> The game saves your progress so you can come back to it later.
> You don't have to beat every level! There are always three unbeaten levels to choose from.
> A checkered pattern around the level button means you beat the level, but took damage. A solid line around the level button means you mastered it! For a challenge, try to master all 23 levels.
Read on if you get stuck:
> You can only attack when you're close enough to the lantern, but you can pick up and move the lantern closer.
> Some enemies have lines above their heads. Each line corresponds to extra health. In most levels you have extra health, too.
> Doors only open when you've collected enough. You can check your progress in the top right corner of the screen.
> There are many ways to beat most levels. If you're having trouble, try to do things a bit differently!

This is Ludum Dare entry number five for me! It's nice to slowly build up a collection of games.
A Knife Made Of Whispers was made using Gamemaker:Studio, with jfxr for sound effects and FL Studio for the music. The game uses a shader I wrote during the 48 hours for the grainy diffuse effect, the colour separation effect and the light radius around the lantern.
I had a lot of fun making this game and I hope you have as much fun playing it!
