For the windows zip it wouldn't run due to a missing folder, the error read: "There should be 'ldJam48_Data'
folder next to the executable"

Nice entry where you have to make wise use of the light to avoid crash. Sonar imho is not as helpful as light.and movement whould be boosted a little bit: movine up is a bit weird. Besides that it is fine :)

@leggy

thanks dude. we tried a few different approaches with the sonar. I agree, there is definitely room for improvement, but I like the mechanic in of itself. thanks for your take, dude. feedback helps!

Gameplay needs some polishing. When I stop pushing the W key feels like I immediately bump into an invisible wall that pushes me down a bit. Also, it killed me just for slightly touching a wall which is weird. Nice core mechanic tho. Also, sounds and music create a good atmosphere

Had some issues getting this to run but I love this concept.
