This game is super dark, how am I supposed to know where those black things are that come toward me? By the way, I meant to sound humorous here. I could never crack a score of 5 even if I tried my hardest. But at least, I like the fact the game has shadows and alchemy, and those tie to the jam's theme brilliantly. Let me make a suggestion, if this is a darkness survival game, make the flashlight appear for the whole game as opposed to only appearing as soon as I shoot at the enemies. My eyes are burning! This is a very nice simple game though, not gonna lie.

- I can see what you were going for with the shadows theme. The mechanics work well but the visibility makes it very difficult to get into the gameplay. Having an audio queue to let the player know how close opponents are might help this a lot!
