Nice mechanics at work here, it's really fun to try and manage the use of light to not get jumped on by ennemies, while still having to remember where you are to not get lost in the path you lighted for yourself.

Also strong presentation here, i really like the way you encapsuled the gameplay area within an artwork, and the character and enemy design are pretty neat as well (the ennemies kinda reminded me of some obscure amstrad game : the 5th axis them seeming quite mechanical and all) all makes for some nice atmosphere as well. Not sure what else i could say, the controls felt responsive the mouse aiming is precise and all

Congrats and well done guys :)

Lots of solid design here. Energy used for both attacks and the light, the lights slowly shrinking, enemies that are only visible in black instead of blue. It all ties in nicely, well done!

Very unique. I think that not being able to see your character within the light circle is very good design, it really discourages camping and adds a good risk/reward element to basic movement. I don't think you should change that, stick to your decision here! Nice work!

Really great atmosphere. I was so scared of what was just outside of my little blue circle. Could see a survival horror game taking some of these elements and really running with them!

Try out my game if you get a chance! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462143#post-884015

Really cool idea! It took a little bit of time to get used to the controls, but once I did I really enjoyed it! My main critique would be to make the health/light bars stand out a bit more, since I found it hard to tell when I was out of light or close to dying. Great job, though!

This is fun! Cool style, fun gameplay, very difficult! I wonder how it would play if your meter increased with time rather than having to collect items.

Dang, you were able to create such a creepy atmosphere with only 2 colors and one dimension. Kudos to you! It gets really hectic and fun the farther you get into it! Lighting idea was really cool! Great job!

Would love if you could check mine out too! Or not, no pressure ;) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462672?after=20#post-876644

An interesting concept! Can be a bit confusing as the light covers a very small space so you mostly just fire at random and find enemies by being hit, maybe give some hints to enemies' positions? The look is nice, excellent choice of colour!

Nice dual-purpose mechanic! I think I share the sentiment with some people that it takes a little bit of time to get used to it, but once you get it, it's a fun game. My score: 1750 in 1:00.

It might be cool to make health as part of your energy too , so that you only have one resource to juggle around(and healing pick ups are much more needed which push player to venture out to darkness) perhaps even add in doom style where enemy will drop pickups at higher rate when your energy gets low! 

Any way , cool take on the only one color concept. I made a one color game too : https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460289
