Hey guys, this is light runner. The object of the game is to keep your character out of the light from torches as he falls. I am aware of a small bug that makes you get hurt even when you are barely in the light. This is kind of part of the game now. Once you know how to play, I recommend insane mode :). M = sound toggle, ESC = exit
Very funny game. The idea for the mechanic is very clever, but if you can't see the character at all it's frustrating to play (maybe this was intentional?)
I had same idea (avoid the light) implemented in my entry :) I think that falling should be faster. It's slow even in insane.. Reasonable speed makes the game looks dynamic :)
Interesting. Kinda fun...It's difficult to learn how your character moves because usually you can't see them! Hm, what if it started out dim so you could see your character a bit, and you dodged stuff for a while...then it got dimmer, so things were hard to see, and then eventually it was completely dark except for torches? That would give the player a chance to learn the moves. Anyway, you got something playable in 48 hours, which is an accomplishment. ;)
This is an interesting idea, although like you said, I was almost constantly losing health despite still being in darkness. I think this mechanic could be pretty interesting if you polished it up a little!
Should the character have been something that would avoid light, like a bat or monster?
@ricewind_cz, yah falling probably should have been faster.
