In what way does your game fit the theme?
my game matches the theme because, in it, light is fighting against darkness, but light is strong when there is a lot of it (stronger together)

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did almost everything myself, except for the music in the scene itself, where the player's action takes place, he just processed the music. It is taken from the asset store (free) Action Rpg music.

Good job! I loved the idea and the game is fun. I just think that the map is way to big (It can be just me) and the moving hand ("RhaRhaRhaaa") is cool but it's kinda annoying because the camera stops moving. But in general, I really enjoyed playing it. The atmosphere and the lighting is perfect =) Good job!

Cool game! I like the atmosphere you managed to create. My biggest gripe was the camera whenever the shadow hand appears, I found it very confusing at first how the camera snaps back to you once its attack is done. The hand was a bit hard to see so it didn't feel clear to me that that's what the camera was focused on. Otherwise I liked it, good job!

Good game  with good atmosphere! =)

I also thought the camera thing was a bug but I read the comments and I think we need a feedback to understand that's the hand grab us and maybe have the ability to prevent this ;)

Developer

Thanks for the comment, I understand, the idea with the camera is so-so, but now I think that you can add visual effects in order to make it more clear what and how, plus I think that the player will need to explain in advance

this game looks pretty cool, but for some reason some times my time just drops to 0 for no reason ( and the camera problem)

Apart from the camera problem that some people mention, didn't find any other complain. Nice storytelling with the cutscenes! Good job overall, cool immersion.

Developer
Yes, I have not completely thought about the camera, but in the future I will try to fix it. Thanks for the feedback, I also appreciated your game

Pretty cool game! The music and the art were really nice, actually! The voice was a bit repetitive, but for a short game, it wasn't too bad. Well done!

Developer(+1)
Thank you, at the end I also began to understand that the voice is boring: D, maybe in the future I will make the game better!

Cool little game you got there. Waiting for the camera to move again is a bit annoying like others already mentioned and I found it a bit too simple. But great audio work you have done here and its fitting the theme of course! Great Game!

Developer
thanks for the comment, I will improve: D !!

Really enjoyed the intro and and ending cutscenes! My only issue was with the camera getting stuck by the hands. Great job!

This is not a hang, but I just chose this mechanic of evading darkness attacks. I agree that she is not very perfect, but still: D
