As a game it's pretty light, I didn't really feel like I was playing it so much. There was a good sense of being lost, but never any sense of being found to take advantage of it.

Unfortunately the game runs only for 2 playthroughs before you start clipping through the floor.\r\rGraphics are functional, would have liked to have seen more varies terrain than trees and the ghost itself is only seen if you're about to die. Interpreting the theme as a "10 second headstart" is clever though.\r\rI wish overall there was a better sense of being "hunted" in this game. Right now it still very much feels like you're just walking around a sparse forest and even when the chase is on there's no real sense of urgency. It would be nice when a ghost gets closer to you to both warn the player and give them a chance to escape! Having a dash mechanic could add a lot of tension and action to the game.\r\rStill congrats on finishing Ludum Dare! Good luck on getting started in game development and hopefully you'll be working on many future Ludum Dares to come!"},{"author_name":"zedutchgandalf","author_uid":"18216","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:33am","epoch":1377512880,"text":"I feel like it's missing some crucial gameplay elements, it doesn't really feel like a game at the moment...\rWorks perfectly on Mac btw :)"},{"author_name":"Ghostik","author_uid":"6198","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 6:58pm","epoch":1377543180,"text":"I got really low fps"},{"author_name":"Tifu","author_uid":"7793","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1377609840,"text":"Cool, similar take on the theme as my entry :D (getting a head start from something chasing you) It's a good job, but the darkness is a little too much - obviously it should be dark to set the atmosphere, but I'm unable to differentiate between a hill right in front of me, and one way off in the distance and keep just banging into walls as a result.

Mainly, the lighting was way, way insufficient. I would have gone for a flashlight or included lights in the environment itself, to give a better sense of position and depth to the world.

I actually just started playing with game development a couple weeks ago. I updated Twitter (@zknet) during the course of the competition if you want to see how I flailed throughout the competition.\r\n\r\nThe idea is simple. You're in a very dark wilderness and you have a 10 seconds head start before you will start being hunted. It's very dark. The skyline and two feet in front of your face (and the glowy thing chasing you) should be the only visible things.\r\n\r\nTruthfully, the game world is too big and it's very unlikely anyone will be patient enough to find the end. I wanted to do more to make it more interesting, but you know... 48 hours.\r\n\r\nIf you fall through the world after dying, I apologize. It's a bug I tried to band-aid before the end, but it still can happen.\r\n\r\nI haven't tested the Mac or Linux builds... I'm trusting in Unity for those. (I do have a Mac and will try to test it later.)","title":"Ahh! It's Chasing Me!"}
