I think there's lots of room to expand to explore the light interactions further, water to put out torches, walls blocking the light, you get the idea. The controls could use a little tightening up, the jump felt kind of floaty, but great game overall!"},{"author_name":"blurryroots","author_uid":"15819","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1440520080,"text":"Liked the atmosphere.

Well done!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The lighting effects are also quite nice. It's a bit too bad that the background has lower resolution pixel art than the foreground graphics.

Graphics was nice too. I had some issues with the controls, it was sort of hard to get a good feel for them. I don't know if this was true or not, but it felt like getting light on you while having up velocity on you sort capped that jump. Which made the start of a level a bit in really annoying. But in general, the game was really nice. I would have, to increase the feeling of being hunted, liked the music to never decrease in stress level. Only increase and increase for every level you manage until you die."},{"author_name":"psychonull","author_uid":"31386","time":"Sep 6, 2015 @ 3:27am","epoch":1441509720,"text":"Nice puzzle-platformer!"},{"author_name":"igoramendola","author_uid":"31253","time":"Sep 6, 2015 @ 4:01am","epoch":1441511760,"text":"Pretty cool concept and use of the theme.
