Solid entry! Enjoyed playing it!
Nice concept and great work with the theme!
The game has nice feel to it. Great work!
Good unique concept with potential!
Like someone else I also thought about the Olympic flame XD
I also wanted to lit up other stuff with the torch ;-)
But fun idea and good base to something more I think.
Well done!
nice concept
I like the aesthetic of this game. I also like collecting and playing as different little people. Unfortunately it wasn't until I started my second playthrough that I found out about there being other people. Altogether it's a simple concept made pretty. Well done!
cool concept
cool concept
of all the 'running around in the dark with a torch/flashlight' games that have been submitted, this one is the nicest looking one. i love the idea of bringing human beings back together in a darkened world. very topical right now.
this game is cool, i like
This game is cool! I just played it and I like the mouse movement and lighting. The mobs come at you fast haha. I jumped when I first saw one and also when I lit the fire past the corn maze. I like your interpretation of the sound effects as well. The sound effects are good ;) but the way you used them made them better. Congratz on your successful Jam submission!
I'm not sure if the audio was bugged or not, but there was a constant buzzing. I wasnt really sure where to go, but found my way to a maze and guessed that the game was about finding campfires to light. Atmosphere was very nice!
Hmm not sure about the buzzing, but I have no doubt that the game is bugged all to hell so that's very probable. Thanks for playing and thanks so much for the feedback!
the concept is cool, but the music is annoying
Yeah I went back and forth on the music. In the end I think you're right. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
Imagine if the game ended with the characters being Olympic athletes carrying the torch to start the Olympic Games. I really enjoyed the low-poly visuals and definitely doesn't have any kind of UI <3
Too big collider on character make the movement kinda hard to control. Good use of the theme, good entry =D
Yeah that was an issue I kept running into for sure. I'd like to make an update the fix that but I just ran out of time. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
This games looks fantastic! It has amazing potential but I got a little lost on what to do, maybe it was intentional.
Thanks so much! Yeah, I struggled with how much guidance I should give, but I figured it would become clear once the player lit a couple bonfires.
