+1 for the 404 issue! Link needs to be fixed!

Sorry! Links have been fixed. Direct link to the files weren't working for some reason

Files somehow disappeared from my server. Welp having my girlfriend send me the code so I can re-upload (used her pc)
Starlight glimmer is best poney
So it's a labyrinth gaem in which you participate as a DFS algorithm. I like how you used light, but the player isn't much involved in gaemplay. Story would be much more interesting with a backstory.

Light looks unrealistic, because alpha channel blends too quickly in my opinion. Also, check your credits text. Ludum Dare 48 will be in 3 years.

@starlightglimmerisbestpony well geez you didn't need to rip on every aspect of the game, all the way down to the "alpha channel blend of the lighting"

Good mechanics and design. Music is a bit more aggressive for such story, I guess. But game is still engaging.

This is a cool game! I really liked how you kept the central navigation via light mechanic, but adapted it to be slightly different in each new area. The minimalist music and art/lighting worked really well together, well done :)

Nice graphics of the game which I like a lot :)

Unfortunately I think the music does not really fit the gameplay which is quite slow, including the story which is supposed to be a bit mysterious...

Anyway you have done a great job and I like the concept a lot ! It just felt a bit punishing to travel around the screen for a minute just to find out I hit a 1mm wide wall taking the victory away from me :D

Very pretty. I personally enjoyed the audio track and thoguht it went pretty well with the visuals. I do think the player ought to move a little faster, but thats minor.

The light mechanic is cool. The music didn't really match the mood. I liked how the puzzle changed just a little each time.

Yet my body is tiny
I wish I was a little faster
Faster?

I loved the music and lighting effects. The noise/grain texture adds a lot of visual appeal here. The gameplay was very slow and frustrating, so I had a hard time getting through a ton of it, but you've put together a nice piece.

I loved the music and lighting effects. The noise/grain texture adds a lot of visual appeal. The gameplay itself was on the slow and frustrating side for me, so I struggled to get through much of it, but you have a nice piece here.
