Great game. If there is something to improve then it is clearly the music

The music got to my nerves eventually, but liking the game otherwise! The mazes made me feel uncomfortable with the light source getting smaller and smaller. Controls would work better if the movement was in a grid, now I got stuck several times.

I really enjoyed playing your game ! made me think of "Out There"

The only point to improve for me is the music.

@kimynay I'm guessing you got an xbox controller connected? Thanks! You helped us find a nasty bug. The input manager tried to use any gamepad connected. Too bad gamepads don't have the space key, then it would have worked. ;) Things are fixed now.

I enjoyed, there was some good music but an issue with looping clip noise -- see if your audio program has realtime exporting and "2nd pass through" to get a better loop and to export as wav (not mp3). Hope that helps!

The game is not too bad. Good Music!

Fun game, putting movement on a grid-based system would be my suggestion.

I really appreciated your interpretation of the theme and love the balance you give to giving up life vs being able to see. Cheers -RS

That's a very cool idea and matches the theme. I like how uncomfortable mazes feel when the light was almost out and with the creepy music

The game is so calm and relaxing, especially with this music. Point for that :wink:

I really like the character too. :smiley:
Exploring maze is interesting, regardless of light size, but I run out of oil quite soon, so that may be thing to improve.

Quite good! The background music is nice, and the theme is good.

Great game, only thing that I would say need improving is the music.

I liked the muted colors. The whole thing reminds me of getting the princess through the sewers in link to the past.

Cool concept, I enjoyed playing the game, I found it a bit hard at first as I didn't realize I had to eat the other dudes for power. but once I got the hang of it I played for a long while :smiley: Solid entry, good job!

The graphics are pretty nice! The game felt a little hit or miss at times but I still enjoyed it. The dynamic levels are also pretty neat. Were those pre-made levels that got selected randomly, or was it truly dynamic?

By the way, I loved the Zelda reference. ;)
