You play as a monster sensitive to light. You are hunted by angry people with torches. Avoid the lights and make it to the portal. Stay out of the light to regenerate.

This is a really nice game! The mechanic was pretty innovative and it definitely had me engaged. Perhaps your game over sequence could be more polished, otherwise, Great Job!
Really cool game! I like the shadow and light mechanic. I think there's lots of room to expand to explore the light interactions further, water to put out torches, walls blocking the light, you get the idea. The controls could use a little tightening up, the jump felt kind of floaty, but great game overall!
Nice mood and shadow/light mechanic. The controls did feel a bit floaty to me, and sometimes the ground tiles blended into the background too much. Other than that good work.
Nice. I really like the look of the game and the concept. Has potential to be developed farther. The jumping gave me a lot of trouble, though, felt like I was fighting the controls more than the game itself.
Oh, I love this! The art style is beautiful, and we really get into the mood of the hunted monster! The game's fun, too, and the platforming works well. Congrats!
Great game, intressting mechanics to take damage from light, also cool that you can guide the people in directions. Gameover and Win Screen could be polished a bit more, otherwise, Great Game
Oh wow, that was actually a lot of fun figuring out how to lure the dudes and jumping at the right moments to avoid lights, this could grow into something cool if done right!
I really like the game mechanics. Nice combination of platformer and puzzle game. Well done!
The lighting effects are also quite nice. It's a bit too bad that the background has lower resolution pixel art than the foreground graphics. Doesn't quite fit together in my opinion.
And real good music! Too bad that the loop is so short and ends so abruptly.
I very much liked the music and how it felt it reflected the level of hunted I was. Graphics was nice too. I had some issues with the controls, it was sort of hard to get a good feel for them. I don't know if this was true or not, but it felt like getting light on you while having up velocity on you sort capped that jump. Which made the start of a level a bit in really annoying. But in general, the game was really nice. I would have, to increase the feeling of being hunted, liked the music to never decrease in stress level. Only increase and increase for every level you manage until you die.

Congrats on a complete and polished-feeling game!
Great job introducing the mechanic slowly and ramping up. Love the graphics too.
