Y'all killed it! According to Joel there were supposed to be special beasts, but after around half an hour of playing I couldn't get any to spawn. Appears to be an outstanding bug? Had a lot of fun finding the balance between going to get batteries and aiming the lighthouse though!
The art was also fantastic, the beast's death animation in particular is very satisfying.
I think my only real complaint is that I wish there was a pause menu. In a survival game, being able to take a step away and then return to continue a run is a big deal. (Though I understand being a jam you probably didn't expect anyone to play more than ~5 minutes or so.)
Kudos to the team!
