What worked:

The art on the lamps showing how much energy they have is a nice touch. I like the concept of using your resources and having to keep moving around the map as a result. It's a neat arcade game as is.

What didn't:

The screenshake and brief stun on enemy spawn is too much for notifying the player. I kept thinking I was taking damage.

I never actually felt like I was in danger.

The enemies feel like they have too much hp. I might have preferred the lights drain faster if it meant enemies also died faster. 

Bugs:

Didn't see any.

Great job!

Really good idea with a lot of additional possibilities! Nice artstyle and game juice as well! Healthbars or something similar for the enemies would be great :)

Submitted

Nice concept with good gameplay. I like the design of the main character.

Wow!! So nice and clean light graphics!
This simple lighting and this simple and fun game play are so good match!!
It's little sad that there's no sound but I really like this simple graphics and game play!

Submitted

It is a great game, the game art and game idea are innovative, everything about the game is good, the only thing that needs improvement is the sounds.

Very clever mechanic! I really like it!

This is very fun! The mechanic around finding light sources to power your gun is a brilliant idea! I haven't played any game similar to this so it's very original to me.  The screen shaking was a little disorienting at times when many enemies would spawn, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the game. You did very well!

Wow, the artstyle is sooo nice. Very original as well

Nice colors, smooth animations and the mechanic of sucking light to shoot is great! It would be useful to scale the difficulty level and maybe more exploration or split levels?

Submitted

Very cool! The gameplay is fun and the graphics are impressive. The level design really encourages exploration. The difficulty doesn't scale though, so it's easy to play forever. Well done :)
