Wow, great sound design and atmosphere. Mechanics were solid and the addition of the timer between switching gun and the torch was an excellent bit of polish. Very impressive for the time frame!

Very nice concept, and good execution. Really cool music and presentation. One minor grip is that the spawn point of the projectiles is not always on the tip of the gun and when for example you shoot to the left they start from below the player feet, which means that if it has a wall below they instantly collide.
Also may I ask you how created the shadows effect on the labyrinth walls?

Save Shiba!Simple but very fun game. Feels amazing to play. I personally think the torch is super powerful, field of view needs to be smaller in my opinion

Cubed TogetherSuper solid game. The music and sound effects were fantastic. I loved the concept and player control. I wish there was a bit of enemy variety to make the game a bit more challenging, but a wonderful demo with a ton of potential!

Hungry Hungry HybridGreat game, followed up on this one after initially seeing a post about it in the discord. Mechanic fits theme, but what sets this game apart from generic is the immersion! The lighting changes mixed with the soundtrack , take this game to another level. This may be bias though, because I have listened to the soundtrack on its own like 10 times since it was shared in the discord lol. Song slaps, shout out to Yzee! Great entry to the jam!

Stay UpThe music CARRIES this game. It's so solid and drives the feel for me. The visual aesthetic is pretty good as well.
Gameplay wise, I would have loved to see the mechanics developed a bit more. They felt really well done individually, but like they were just kinda mashed together. I played most of the game with the torch on and only pulled out the gun to shoot, which could have influenced my experience. Really like the lighting effect as well!

ShapeRektGreat representation, the game idea is really good but it was way too hard to navigate. Maybe, the circle should have been larger.

ROBOT AGASI really like the main mechanic behind this submission. Though I have seen some concepts that are a bit similar to this, I think you've executed it the best. The movement is feeling good, the shooting is fun, and the way you've done the lighting is amazing. You got a good aesthetic going and I really like the pixelated graphics.
I did notice however that there isn't a cooldown for shooting; I know you're meant to shoot fast but someone could click extremely fast (or use an autoclicker) and aim blindly, and they're bound to hit an enemy even without seeing them. Having a small shooting cooldown will force people to not shoot blindly and to use the flashlight more often.
This is a very well polished game, and it would be really cool to see this one expanded on!

AminusGame looks and feels very good! I really like the idea that you can hold either a torch or a gun at a time. Art is amazing and creates a decent atmosphere. I also really like the name of the game

Moles TotalisCool idea to make you decide between you vision and offensive option. <3
I can see real potential in something like this especially if some enemies take advantage of that in some way.

It's just a ball game, man!Great game - the fact that you can't see your enemies and the walls unless you're close by makes it tense!

Defying InstinctsI really like this game, it's such a simple idea but with very good excecution. Played all the five levels.
