I would suggest that next time you make the monsters get harder over time.
The art is amazing though.
My suggestion would be to add more enemy types with varying degrees of resistance to light. Adding a day/night cycle where you can only do upgrades during the day would also add some challenge.
I loved the graphism.
The difficulty is way too easy and I am actually quite disappointed because it was cool and I was having fun.
Also there was no big surprise at the end, just a plain old text, all of a sudden. I assume you ran out of time, 72 hourse is not much. Still, I would have hoped for more.
What is there is really nice, great visuals and sound, the mood is perfect. The music fits the theme and the overall atmophere lets you forget what is around you while playing. Really well done on the art side of things.
Gameplay, as I said, is much fun as well, once I figured out you could repair the lights, it got a lot easier, I was already half way haunted. But with the lamp posts intact it was a breaze. That is why I expected something more.
Overall a greate entry, thanks and keep up the good work!
- If you spam "o" you can repair instantly
- The game is repetitive.
- Nice graphics !
- The music loops was really good, but too short
- The gameplay is simple but nice
