Nice game, the lighting works really well and suits the theme. I got a strong amnesia vibe so was hiding from the monsters and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise I could stomp them . Nice work.

Developer

Glad you liked it, I could see how it could be confusing with the monsters. Originally I was planning on your first encounter with them to be in the light but I also wanted them to at first seem scarier then they really are so I went with how it works now. Thanks for playing!

Very well polished visuals and sound. controls and collision could've been better though. The mechanic itself is very clever. Overall a pretty good submission.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. The collision code could definitely use a bit of work, especially when it comes to the doors.

Wow! The soundtrack is impressive, I really liked it! What program did you use to create it?

Btw, could you publish that epic track? :)

My brother made it, I'll ask him to send me a file for it then i'll let you know once it's posted!

Edit: Made in cubase, i think.

I can't post them on itch because of the rating period, but for the time being I've put them on a soundcloud thingy here! https://soundcloud.com/bennett-johnson-816744170/sets/lights-out-songs

Great idea, very similar to mine, I clipped through a wall in the dark and had to restart a level, other than that, great game, nice music and visuals

Super good art and level design! Its a little frustrating doing platforming in the complete darkness, but that's just the nature of the mechanic. I love the green torch mechanic as well, makes it a lot more puzzle-y.

Developer

Glad you liked the green torches. My original plan was to really expand more on that mechanic, maybe with enemies that had torches on them or something, moving lights. Didn't have time to get all that set up unfortunately.

I really like the art style and the music. The mechanic for this game is very clever and well executed. I think I may end up coming back to check this one again. Well done! 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I've played something similar before, like in late levels in Chuck Rock 2; Son of Chuck
There are some games like this in this jam even (see lonely heart)
That said this is still a pretty good and well made game, even though I haven't gotten
far with it yet, I kept falling into some pit I couldn't seem to get past because it was too dark

Developer

I haven't played those games yet, i'll have to check em out.  In the level with the pit you have to avoid/kill the monsters and run to the right through the dark. It can be a bit tough. Thanks for playing!

This is the most original game tried in this jam so far! Brilliant idea! Some designed level are not the best and i have some problem when I'm on a moving platform, but I leave 5/5 anyway :)

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I will admit, the moving platforms are a bit buggy in the game's current state.
