Burnt Out by dremelofdeath

[raw]
made by dremelofdeath for LD28 (JAM)
Once legendary ghost relic hunter David Burns has hit hard times. Strapped for cash, and losing credibility from a less and less superstitious public, David has hit hard times. Forced to more remote areas in search of a true haunted house which he can explore, he is almost out of fuel. Help David explore one final mansion to find some lucrative relics before he finally burns out. This one may actually be the real deal...

David has only one match. Turn it on with SPACE, and use the arrow keys to control him. But beware, once that match burns out, David will be left in the dark with the ghosts!

I really enjoyed playing your game. All the graphics of the enemies animated beautifully.

Lots of points for graphics and audio (though my heartbeat did sound like a geiger counter). The art was really pretty great and you did a good job of establishing the mood.

Not sure how this relates to the theme and I didn't think collecting goodies in the dark (or with finite timed light) ended up being much fun. There wasn't really a sense of progress.

Part way through I got the the game name pun. It might be the lack of sleep but I found it hilarious. Also I really like how you handled the lighting in this game.

Wow, nice graphics and audio! I really liked the shadow effects too, looked really slick. I was a little confused as to what I needed to do at first, but I got the hang of it after a little bit. Oh and I liked how you implemented your pictures as the paintings (well, I'm assuming they were your pictures!). Good job!

Really interesting little game. I really liked some ideas, especially the heart monitor instead of the typical HP.

Hey, I have added a Windows version of the game ;)
Your game looks right, kinda hard to complete for me.

This may be the one game I've played that made the one match idea work. Great Job!

I liked the one match idea, and the HUD items were pretty novel. Game was good.

Real nice graphics and atmosphere, lighting was well done. Only thing I can say is I didn't have much of an idea why I was collecting this stuff or whether or not there was a way to win. Oh, and maybe a lighter with fuel would have been better -- matches don't really work that way :p

Well done. I expected the ghosts and things to be more dangerous somehow -- it didn't seem like colliding with them did anything bad, except make the edges of the screen glow red. The graphical effects such as blur and lighting are superb for a web game. And I liked that the music would trigger according to what was happening in the game. Well done!
