Nicely done game.Great job.

Nicely done. Being stuck as a shadow it is quite strange but cool as well. Went to level 2 (I guess) but was overrun while trying to find the light again...

Developer

Yeah UI is not yet my strong suit, especially solo and with limited time. Ideally I would have had more things pop up like level names and such. I do plan to lower the spawn rate of enemies a little in response to feedback. Thank you for playing!

I like the concept and the shadow effect of the player. The music was really well done and atmospheric too. Very nice work! I was a bit lost at first but managed to make my way to the end. Though I didn't realize until the last level that I could attack as well!

Thank you! The music actually came first in this project, music and sound design is what I would like to do someday. I wanted to implement FMOD, but there ended up not being time for it.

The music really was great! If you have a Soundcloud or YouTube account where you post your music you should definitely link to it on the game's page!

I am not sure I am ready for that quite yet, but that's a really good idea. I put together a game prototype album during quarantine when that all happened, but I am not yet really familiar with Soundcloud. Perhaps next jam I can have that set up!

I really like the cover image, but I didn't understand what I need to do in the game. You should add the objective and the controls to the description until you add UIs

Developer

Description updated. Thank you for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! You should really add a small explainer text at the start what you are supposed to do or make it obvious via level design. 

Developer (1 edit)

Yeah, there was some UI stuff I was planning on doing, but ran out of time. I tried to explain a bit in the description of the game, it's a "navigate maze, find exit" type of game. 


I'm also working solo, so I had to pick my battles carefully to make the deadline.
