Music did wonders for the mood. Simple concept, and pulled off well :D.

The first ghost actually made me jump out of my seat! Well done!

I would like it if things were zoomed in more so I could see if better though.

well done. Resolution was a bit too tiny though maybe.

Graphics and audio is great! I didn't expect it, but got scared (heart racing even) everytime I had to escape a ghost! I'd like a bigger window to see a bit better however.

LOTS OF SCARES CRAMMED INTO THIS LITTLE BOX! I've heard that audio elsewhere before, though, so I can't rate you as highly on Audio and Mood. :(

I'll be passing this game around to my friends. Lots of fun!

Amazing!!! Minimalist and scary!! Sometime "Press any key" do nothing, I have to press and press...

C'mon, man. Jump scares? Too spooky.
This is a good minimalist concept though, also that raycasting is kewl.

The audio and lightning makes everything perfect. Would really like to see something like this but bigger in the future.

Really like this, but I can only sensibly play it with my browser zoomed to the max!

pretty awesome! The second level is quite hard tough. I like the graphics. Bigger screen would be nice :)

:D:D!! Excellent! Love it. Excellent. Thou there are some rules regarding using music. As in "make your own" :].

Fantastic. My only gripe with this game is the small resolution.

Pretty well!
Despite minimalistic design, atmosphere is horrifying =)

To everyone that has played, voted and rated my game: Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me.

This was my first time I participated in ludum dare and it was a blast. Apparently I violated a rule by not creating the music by myself... will definitely do that the next time I participate!

I thought it was kind of cute actually. And those shadows look really good.

Excellent mood. It wasn't scary as such, but very tense!

Great entry! Terrific sense of tension, sometimes compounded when I got momentarily stuck on a wall. I really like the balance of having light increase as time passes (allowing you to see more) with the fact that this will likely attract more ghosts, plus the crescendoing music on top of it all!

Amazing mood, It's incredible how scary it actually is even though it fits the theme. Really great work!

The audio is the star here. It really shows how easily a player can be put on edge. Nicely done!

Enjoyed the mood and audio a lot. Wish the screen was bigger?
