My main complaint is that the cooldown on the eye could be a little faster. Trying to avoid going "darker" means standing around waiting a whole lot. Overall, fun idea, well-implemented.
Game creeped me out when I overused the eye for the first time, the way you achieved this effect was executed well with the sfx and white screen flash transitioning. After getting the bad ending I was curious enough to play to enough to get to the good ending. Was over joyed at reaching your gold room that had a warm welcoming sign. The achievement at the end of the game was a treat.
Loved it.
The controlls are a little bit difficult if you use a keyboard with qwertz layout ...
1) There is no music
2) The controls are ugly
With some more guidance, and maybe another mechanic to keep it interesting, this could be really cool. I really love your weird aesthetic. Keep it up!
Those things aside, I'm a sucker for creepy things like this, and the ending cracked me up. :)
After 4 tries I actually became the eyeball king \o/
Found a few bugs (you probably know them already, but meh): 1. you can collect the coins multiple times by entering the house for a short while again. 2. The don't doors seem to be linked correctly.
Congrats on your first LD submission!
Controls felt weird mainly because i couldn't press 3 buttons at the same time(Right\Left+ X + Up)
Overall the game is very good,i would love to see more of it in the future.
