Loved the game. It really has some potential like multiple comments mentioned. The audio choice works really well with the setting.

The developer really needs to consider making this a full game.

We're hearing these comments loud and clear, and are starting to discuss making the concept into a full game.

Loved the particle/light effects!
Maybe make the UI and letter bigger for a better experience :)

Some sound effects would be great for overall feel, like with spikes going up and down and the like. Really loved the last level, showed some nice potential.

Thank you!

We had a few sound effects lined up, but unfortunately ran out of time. If we return to it, there's definitely a lot of spit-and-polish like that I'd love to add.

I loved the game, it really has some potential.
Did you guys had top down dungeon level design in mind while creating this game? And are you planning to develop this game further and release a full game?

Thank you! :D

Dungeon level design is probably a good way to put it, we wanted it to be littered with traps.

The idea of developing it further was talked about a bit in the team. I'll definitely bring up that someone asked about it!

This game really has some potential. The core concept works even if the game is unfinished and buggy.
Atmosphere is really good. The audio and visuals work together pretty nicely to create this enchanting but dark atmosphere full of unknown things.
I would love to play a full version of this game.

Thanks!

I know you said it was buggy, but spiders are technically arachnids. /denial

We're looking at these comments in our team and will definitely talk about developing this game further!

Very nice graphical style.

Sometimes eyelight randomly goes off for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback Houkime!

To check, the flashlight's supposed to toggle on pressing the spacebar, but it was going off at other times for you?

Unfortunately cannot seem to replicate.
It was respawning after death with eyelight off.

Unreplicable bugs are the best!

Thanks for the heads-up, hopefully this glitch doesn't rear its head for too many other people. That glitch could be tied into the fact that space continues and restarts a level, and also controls your flashlight, but I'd have to take a closer look at it.

Use of lighting was clever. Game-play was buggy but good. Aesthetics were cute. 7/10 :)

Also need to mention, you said the game was buggy, but spiders are technically arachnids, not bugs. Common mistake.

I think we could fix a lot of glitches though.
