- Music, sounds, art, all great! I love games like these and this is a good example of a good game! Now all you need is some sprites for the main character and enemies, some extra abilities or a way to upgrade abilities maybe and you have yourself a great game! Thank you for your hard work, I'll be checking back on this with anticipation of what you have in store for us!
- I enjoyed this game, even though it was very brutal. I would love to have a possible lessening of the base enemies or have them move slower as there were instances when I was playing where they spawned directly in front of where I was kiting the rest of the base enemies around.

You play as an alchemist trying to survive the night. You need to keep the light shield active by collecting shards from the light crystals whilst battling it out with an endless onslaught of shadow monsters. Elemental shards that bosses drop can be brought back to the center light/ lab and used to synthesize upgrades in the form of stat boosts or upgrades for your weapon.

Nice music, good art, nice sound effects and good combat. Sometimes I felt like the reload got stuck and I just ran around without bullets while spamming R forever, but other then that I had a good time. Good with increasing difficulty on bosses.
Well done!
