Cool concept!

I think it looks great and that helps set the atmosphere for this game.

I had some issues controlling the light - for me the camera movement was a bit too quick and I ended up going left-right-left-right to somehow get to the middle, but besides that it was a fun experience, well done :)

Developer

Could you please descrube the issue with light controls?

Submitted

It's not an issue, it was just moving too fast for what I expected.

Clicking ahead and slightly to the left, for instance, would move the camera, quite fast, far more left than what the click was.

So basically going slightly left or right made the camera go to the same direction but much more "heavily". I think it made the movement a bit more harder to control, that's all.

Developer

Thanks!

Interesting take on the theme. The atmosphere felt great and this was probably one of the most innovative games I've played in this jam so far!

Some issues I had was that I couldn't make to level 3 because a bug made me get stuck/return to the main menu everytime I returned a spirit to a torch and that I felt like the soul attraction level didn't match with the lighting I emitted (spirits can lose you even when they are being illuminated by you, especially at lower lighting levels).

Great work!

There is no level three for now, could not finish it in time!) Thank you for the feedback, it will help us to improve!

Interesting game :). I enjoyed the atmosphere and how you used controlling light as a core gameplay mechanic!

Submitted

The concept is pretty good, and graphics are pretty good, but im not a fan of the whole "click to move" control scheme. I wish you can use WASD instead. I found the whole controlling your light thing to be pretty cool, great job on this!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, we will use this to improve it even further.

Cool idea.

Good to know someone liked it!!

This is undoubtedly a novel idea with a very intriguing notion. The lighting really captures the mood you were going for, so well done for running with the idea. Game design that is simple but effective.

Developer

Thanks a lot! We have planned a few other features but had to scrap them during the playtest.

this game evokes a very unique feeling. It feels super chill but it also feels eerie without being disturbing or horrifying or whatever. Very unique

Thank you, that is indeed what we aimed for!

Thank you, Hallos!

Really nice mood, I like the simple game mechanic. Only improvement is to make camera movement a bit smoother, currently it's too stiff for my liking :) 

Developer(+1)

We will patch a camera update once the jam restriction is over. 

Submitted

I can't tell if there's any post processing but those particles look absolutely amazing :O

Developer

We had to scrap the post-processing a few hours before submission coz we could not tune the color scheme, but it would have been even better-looking with it! Thanks!

Submitted

Enjoyed it! The game system incorporating light is not only fun but fantastic.

I really liked the idea, it's really creative, i like the simple art style and the dark vibes, good job !

Very interesting concept, certainly something that hasn't been done before! Way to take the theme and run with it, the lighting is very evocative of the atmosphere you intended with this. Simple but effective game design.

Submitted

had fun playing the game... second level was a bit glitchy but i still had fun...awesome game

Developer

Could you please elaborate on "glitchy"?

Submitted

there was like an old VCR glitchy strip across the screen... but it was at the top of the screen so it did not disrupt a gameplay that much

Developer

Thank you, we'll look into it!

Submitted

5/5 the level of glow is just perfect

Submitted

I loved the mechanics of collecting good souls as a light in the dark

Developer

Thank you so much! We took on a simple idea and tried to implement it within time.

Original and great concept

Developer

Well, we had a lot of fun making it! It's good to know that you liked our interpretation!
