The game was kind of simple, but I liked it!
**Overall** I had a great time playing this game, if you add a catchy soundtrack I would play this for hours, for sure!
Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future!
Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Lighting is indeed really pretty.
PS : Really liked the "lulululululu" sound as well :)
I didn't realise you could shoot enemys until after I'd already played for a while, maybe a control prompt would have been good here! Also, a couple of times on restarting the light would flash and then not turn on, though that may be a bug specific to webgl, I didn't play the download version. Also, I think the light mechanic could have been explored a little more in depth, maybe adding the option to toggle the light in order to sneak away from the enemys would have been cool? Though this much within the space of a game jam is still really cool!
Great game guys!
The only thing I would improve is as follows:
- I think it would be better if either you could see where your mouse was, or you used the keyboard to look, because as it is it's hard to figure out how much you need to move the mouse to turn in a direction, which make the controls slightly annoying.
If this was fixed though, I think I would find the game really fun :).
The orthogonal keyboard move with mouse look is a bit strange, but it's something I can get used to, and quite frankly I prefer it to relative keyboard controls in this situation. Good job!
@didactylos @mickeyg Yup that's a bug. We are sorry for that.
P.S If you would like to play and rate my game that would be great. Thanks in advance :)
I really liked the lighting in this game. The "lulululu" enemey was quite unnerving...
It took me several starts to understand the gameplay, that I have to collect the blue dotties to get more energy/light. Maybe the graphics should indicate more directly what it is.
There should be a highscore and/or scoring system in the game!
Aside from these issues, this could be quite an interesting set of mechanics to play with. The limited vision with top down shooting is interesting, especially when hearing those crazy enemy sounds, which creates some good tension.
Good job!
