Very well done, I like the graphics! Great game!

I played the game and had a blast ! I only wish there was more story telling since it is a great ambiance for it. As well maybe different light types, for example a round light that follow the cursor, another that circle round the player, etc. 

Overall great job !

Hello. your game is very cool and fun. I loved low-poly style in your game.

"Safety reached" ... proceeds to descend into a creepy tomb.

The level design was awesome, I desperately wanted to interact with all the decorations and strive from the path to explore and find hidden secrets. Especially the tomb was well done with all the stairs and doors.

The gameplay would have been even more exciting if the orb would loose power (and thus light radius) and would have needed to be recharged at the pylons.

Great idea. I wanted to add some features to the magical lights, but ran out of time.

I really enjoyed your game! I really like the spooky feel, really great atmosphere, well done! really minor issue is that, at the beginning, we can walk behind a gigantic tree, but as the camera is really high, all we can see is foliage, but that really is a minor minor issue. Again, very well done!

I really like art style went for, they stand out

Submitted

I played your game and rated it! I had lots of fun! I liked the low-poly art style. I personally used pixel art.

If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism.

I actually already played and rated yours. It didn't save my post however. Weird.

Pondering My Orb meme format depicting a man looking at a crystal orb.

All i could think of while playing this game. Excellent level design.

Thanks much.

Great game! Amazing spooky atmosphere, especially on the 1st level! The only complaint I have about this game is that on the 3rd level it isn't as spooky anymore because there is way too many ghosts, so it's just becomes normal and not an exception.

This was interesting. I liked the floating hands. Could have used a bigger VFX on the orb. I like the crackle of electricity but a bigger effect would have been nice.

i like your low-poly style. the lighting is also nicely done! just sometimes i got blocked by the mountain and couldn't see where i am. may be i don't suppose to be there. but you know people like to explore the edge of the map xd

Nice game, I like the vibe and the environment, the player movement was a little weird sometimes but nothing too bad.

Submitted

Well done!
You've created a really creepy atmosphere. The lighting is good and the music supports the spookiness.
But the controls are a bit spongy.
Good luck!

Submitted
