Collect items, power generators and fight to survive for as long as possible against some spooky creatures.
This game isn't very good, but it's better than what I did last year! Feel free to criticise, every bit of feedback helps. Hope you enjoy!

I can`t figure the gameplay, but it seems good

Quite a nice little game, I like the torch mechanic. It'd be nice if you could use the number keys to quick switch weapons rather than keep right clicking to get back to the torch. I guess it could use few quality improvments like blood spatter or something when shooting enemies. Otherwise, good job :)

Pretty fun game :)

Gameplay is a bit slow but I think that was intended. Nonetheless, really cool concept. I loved the flash-light feature. Something new and unique.

Good going!

Good luck and congratulations! :D

It was odd to fall through the floor when I started walking and just kept falling.

The enemies came very close together and nothing I pushed seem to have any effect on the generators.

I really wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing.

Okey I'll try to give you some tips for your third ludum dare ;).

First, find an artist. Not an expert one, just someone with time to polish the art.

Second one: Faster games, makes exciting gameplays. Try to level up all those values to see how it works.

Third one: if you are doing a shooter in a plataformer, watch the J.W conference (one of the Vlambeer's component) about game feel. Amazing and so useful.

Overall opinion: Not a polished game but a nice try, and only a few steps away from a finished game. Good work!

I like the theme, creeping creatures waiting in the dark and stuff, but it is a little slow paced.

Overall nice job!

Nice job! It would have been nice if the player was a bit quicker (walking, shooting...). Also, I found myself waiting for batteries and oil, but as it is random (I guess), I was wasting amos just to get something else to spawn. And I had trouble getting how to launch the game once on the main menu as the buttons weren't super responsive (it takes about a second to activate).

Nice little game with solid gameplay though, keep it up for next time ;)

I was able to score 3000 points :)

Nice mechanics with torch. Good job!

As was said before, find an artist and make game faster.

I feel that this game needs some end-point purpose.

Hey, the main mechanics is cool. I'm really bad so I can't get big scores x). Nice job!

I liked the lighting in the game but the player was a bit too slow.
