Nice and creepy, I love the lighting effects. The music works very well to add to the atmosphere too.

Very nice artwork  as well!

I also love that you included the animated gif at the top of the game page. Great touch!

I like the Flashlight Mechanic alongside the impressive UI. My only comment is I wish there was a Checkpoint system but besides that, I think you did great!

Was able to help Benny conquer his biggest fear! 

Liked the atmosphere a lot, the music and darkness worked well together.

Flashlight itself was a bit weird, I kind of guessed that with bigger light you do more damage, but I just ended up using the lowest one to have mobility. Attacking I really didn't know how to do, like I mean I obviously killed them but I didn't really know the timing when to attack and at first couldn't really figure out if the bigger light did anything different so ended up using the lighter one (probably wrong way to do it and that's why I felt the attacking was a bit weird)

But overall I liked the game a lot, the atmosphere got me to play it through although the attacking was a downfall in my opinion, but polishing that should be relatively easy and make the game feel more intuitive! 

PS. I almost quit the game in the start, before I realised to go back to find the first hourglass to get the flashlight working, I thought it had bugged out or something, even restarted the game :D

I thought the flashlight mechanic was a cool idea. But I ended up just sticking to the small one just because I liked the mobility of being able to jump higher. That's probably why I took so much damage at certain parts lol. It was cool a little difficult for me but cool :)

Nice game! I like the itch page. The art, music and sfx are nice and go well together. I think the jump animation looks a bit weird though. I like that the game has several different enemies. It would be nice if there was a way to heal.

Love  this idea.   I think the range of the attacks could be a little bigger but I really liked it Good job People!

I like the idea of using a flashlight as a sword, although I didn't have the feeling that it had as much impact on the fight as it did on the movement.

But I liked it - it was well handled, with nice aesthetics. I'm just a bit sad that I couldn't see the monster a little bit better.
