Lightlife

Groping in the dark
with his little spark
our hero wants to find his path
But be careful little mage
your enemies are full of rage
they hunt you down so take no break
Your light is bright
so keep it alive
otherwise you will face the afterlife
Rules:
- hit the light orb to keep it alive
- hit the ghosts with the light orb before they hit you
- unlock and use your abilities
- level up your light orb by hitting it
Controls:
- 'Space' to hit the light orb
- 'Shift' to dash through ghosts (unlock first)
- 'E' to drag the light orb to your position (unlock first)
- 'R' to activate chain light orb (unlock first)

Really solid entry, but aiming with light is pretty hard, maybe a option to hold a light for the while, and then bounce it? or aiming with a mouse, but still really enjoyed it

Nice game. I would suggest to hide frontal wall, it obstructs view making it a lot harder to navigate.

Really perfect with the theme. I liked the graphics very much. But It's a little bit harder. Fun to play!

Nice idea, and pretty addictif. A feedback would be cool to know where the ball is when it comes out of the camera.

Really good idea, good mechanics ! Really surprised by this funny game

i really enjoyed playing this game great graphics and sound and game play mechanics i got 55sec so far not sure if that good score or bad but i played for more than once goodjob

Pretty slick game! I like the concept and movement feels really good. Game is quite challenging, whether that's by design or otherwise I'm not sure. Moving the ball felt more like luck than deliberate skill.

Really enjoyable, i love the fact that the sphere can came back after lvl3. Good job !

Its quite fun to play! I like the art ghosts are kinda cute in their ways ! Its just hard to see anything when youre at the bottom, the wall hides everything though:/ Good idea to make abilities unblockable.

I had a lot of fun playing this game
I do have to say though, the death screen is a little sudden, and some noise when it happened would be nice

Good looking game! Great idea!

Ow this game looks so clean, and ty so much for font link!

Well made game, really enjoyed it. I found it more challenging to avoid enemies than hitting the light, taking focus from the theme.

A well polished game, I liked the highscore tied to it so you had to challenge yourself to beat your own score

Really liked the mechanics and clean look.

love the art style, the voice over was awesome too! controls were a little floaty for me, and I couldn't see the light orb when it was stopped near the bottom wall so maybe a transparency wall effect would help fix that.

It's a cool idea, but it's very hard to control a sword. However, you get used to it quickly. Good job!
sharbelfs27 Apr 2020, 15:45
nice idea. for me the wall in the bottom is a little annoying because at some point I got the ball bouncing from left to right and I couldn't really see what was going on down there. And at the beginning is quite easy to die. overall I like the game, the mechanic is quite challenging, maybe a little more light overall, not sure if my monitor is too dark.

Little magician walking in the shade. Nice ^^
(This is a little difficult to control.)

Awesome game. The controls took a little getting used to, but after that short learning curve I thought they worked really well. And the abilities, especially the magnet one where great additions. Graphics and music were both solid. Great job!









thumbs up!
