I would say this is one of the best games submitted! What an interesting concept. Could have done with more levels.

I like the originality. It takes a lot of critical thinking to pull something like this game off properly

Good game! It's a simple idea but pretty unique and interesting. Would good if it was a little longer and had some extra mechanics. The lamps are a cool idea but I didn't really see a reason to use them. Good job overall!

Very nice music you have there! We composers cannot compete with it.

The game was very original. I liked the idea and the execution.

Submitted

Good one! I found it quite easy, never even needed to move lights (and it would be too slow anyway probably), but the game surely can be fun after a bit tweaking!

Nice game, nice name. I really like the idea.Top down movement is pretty smooth and looks good. Also i would appreciate it if you could play and rate my game.

Submitted

Nice game. Great job with the shadows.

I love the idea, very creative! The art and shadows very are nice, and one detail that's really cool is how the shadows stretch throughout the level. The gameplay can be a bit slow, but I still love the game!

This game is sooo creative. I love the idea.

I would add an soundeffect or something else that you know you finished the level. The first time I thougth I was dead until the lights were add

I think I've heard the music befor, I dont know if it yours. If so, the music is great

Developer

I wish it was mine! It's Nocturnes by Chopin :D
I would definitely add sounds effects including a level end sound, if only I had more time!

Glad you enjoyed.

Awesome game! The music gave it a calming but ominous atmosphere and with closing in shadows made me pretty creeped out.

Developer

Great! that was the intention 😀
The piece is Nocturnes for Piano by Chopin.
