Short and fun game. I like the game mechanic and randomly generated levels, having a batter/resource that is both your life (kinda) and a guide is amazing. Good art-style. One feedback I would give is the content of the game is less. The game can improve with some variation in both places/art and gameplay. Overall great!

Hey, 

very very nice Game! I love the Art of the Game. i had problems with the "map" it was just a black square. Love the using of 2d Shadows . 

i lol'ed as i saw how many charging station are in your wood. :D 


Great entry!!

if you had the time it would be great if you play and rate my game too:

So the death of the battery is the beginning of the suffering? Is that the take on the jam theme? XD

The game is fun to play, has smooth movement and a cute character sprite.

I totally didn't expect that floating thing to appear the first time I died. So scary!!

It would be great if you could add some background music, as I couldn't hear any (played on web)

Good game!

Yes! We tried very hard to come up with a unique and fun take on this theme, and I'm so happy that you are able to notice it! We have a plan for adding more sound effects to the game, like walking in the snow, winter wind and charging. We wanted to create this quiet and lonely feeling scene, but unfortunately, we are not talented enough to create suitable background music for this game, and we didn't find any on the free market. As result, we decided to not add any music to the game. Thank you very much for the feedback!

Very clever take on the theme! Great job!

Very cute sprites! The phone mechanic was a great idea. Definitely plays into my fears of getting lost when my phone has low power.

This flying mask is scary :P  IT is realy hard to get to the point I was trying several times and the mask always hit me.

Submitted

This is really clever and cute. I loved playing.

Definitely scared the poop out of me! Are they random level templates or is it procedurally generated?

The lights sources seemed to be spread out to non routes more often then the actual root, could use a bit of tweeking there(though I DID just barely make it, so maybe it was intentional aha)

Had fun a lot with it, very well done if your goal was to stress me out a whole bunch.

Developer

All levels were procedurally generated. Adding hand-crafted levels is definitely something we can do to improve the gameplay, thank you for the feedback.

Submitted

The music, when the lights go out... scary scary... :(

Why do you scare me that much? :D

Submitted

Good job on the game ! Tho, i think personally I think its a bit too hard, especially once the lights go out. Would be good to have more light sources around the map to add to the atmosphere and game play.

Also i think adding some more background sounds will add to the atmosphere even more. same with the charging station.

Developer

thank you for the feedback
