Coherent from start to finish with a really fitting mood. The controls are easy enough to figure out and overall the game mechanics are understandable easily without much help needed.\r<br\/>The enemies are challenging without being unfair, though I had trouble figuring out that light didn't do anything to them.\r<br\/>All the levels are feasible and challenging without being too difficult and they are appropriately progressive.\r<br\/>Great job overall, even though apart from the lighting effects, the graphics are a bit dull."},{"author_name":"stevenlr","author_uid":"5128","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:16pm","epoch":1429539060,"text":"Oh I almost forgot, I love the cutscene screens. :D"},{"author_name":"DarkMeatGames","author_uid":"34345","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 6:35pm","epoch":1429554600,"text":"Great audio and loved the black blobs and lighting, but the character graphics stood out. I think it would work better as just a square. Easy to understand controls and gameplay. Nice work."},{"author_name":"PizzaPortal","author_uid":"50247","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 6:41pm","epoch":1429554960,"text":"I really enjoyed playing this game!\r<br\/>The cutscenes are nice, the mechanics make sense (except for the light having no influence on the darkness) and the level design is great, i especially liked the level in the beginning where you had to time the movement of your light and the gates opening\/closing. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>But you probably should've made the light move faster, and made some halls in the levels a bit shorter."},{"author_name":"Destruktorrr","author_uid":"49168","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1429622640,"text":"The hero's movement controls don't work for me.

I found the game rather fun and enjoyable, up to the level when you're stuck in a white box with black fog all around you, which was like hitting a brick wall. Audio is great, visuals are OK, a few humor elements. Overall, a well deserved 4 for polish and level variety!"},{"author_name":"ajopart","author_uid":"40976","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1429706640,"text":"Awesome idea !!

The aiming reticle is inverted which makes it impossible to play with a mouse. Also, your intro text is upside-down. I don't know if it is just me, but you should consider fixing it. Best of luck!"},{"author_name":"arhpositive","author_uid":"11575","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 4:43pm","epoch":1430239080,"text":"Pretty cool game, died twice in the final level but was able to finish it. Level design is impressive for a 48 hour game jam. The game had some good ideas, and executed them well. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I kinda looked for more options to use our glowy companion with, such as using it as a temporary shield against darkness attacks.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thank you for this good game.
