First game I have reviewed that incorporates a crt filter. I think the scanlines turned out great. Comes off as a very believable recreation and adds some vintage nostalgia. The gameplay is simple but feels fun and polished. One thing that I think would improve the experience is broadening the circle of light around the player. I get the mechanic of limiting enemy visibility but I felt that it was a bit too limiting and caused me to corner myself in certain situations. There could be an upgrade further into the game that would allow such a thing but I never came across it. Overall I think this is a pretty underrated game submission.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the crt filter. It's something I wanted to try out for a while now. And yeah, giving the player an upgrade option to increase the light range was something I planned originally but somehow forgot in the turmoil that is the final hours of a game jam. Would definitely make sense and be a good addition to the gameplay.
