A nice short game with a very simple and fun objective! I enjoyed eating pretty much everything.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for playing!
very interesting game with cool visuals and really perfect music. i had no idea what effect blowing out the candles had, but it was kind of fun anyway!
SIDE NOTE:
i've noticed that many games include gameplay instructions in the text below the web player or the download link. (yours is actually quite reasonable - it only reveals the controls - compared with some others that reveal both the controls AND the objective, often at length). i feel like maybe this goes against the spirit of zero UI a bit. it's just my opinion though; i'm not sure how the judges will view that. [just to be clear, my game totally breaks the zero UI restriction. I've got instructions and menus littered throughout my game. i pretty much gave up on having no UI, so I appreciate games like yours that attempt to follow the theme.]
I originally planned on making so that you can progress through the levels only after blowing all the torches on the level itself ( also killing the slimes ), but I managed my time too badly so I weren't able to implement it in time.
About UI I just didn't find a better and more intuitive way to show what controls there are :p
Thanks for playing!
Very good atmosphere and nice enemies!!!
Thanks for playing :)
Smooth little game! Controls worked nice and smooth. Fun pixel graphics. Nice audio and sound effects.
Maybe something more to do or goals or actions would be great for an update!
Nice work overall and maybe expand on it in the future!
I'm going to expand the game with more content and at least a few objectives once I find time to work on it ;)
Thanks for playing!
The sound effects and the atmosphere made taking out the torches and the ennemies very satisfying! I would have loved to have a little goal to achieve instead of doing what I want
I will definitely add some goals and maybe even achievements to the game.
Thanks for playing!
good job overall
Thanks ;)
I like what the game wants, but it need a bit work :) Like for example you don't need to blow out all torches for you to go to the next level. Also a restart button would be cool! I really liked the atmosphere and the art, it was pretty fitting. Good job overall!
I'll note that for the future :)
Thanks for playing!
I like the glowworm, I like that I can eat everyone, and eat the torches, good job
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I like it its got some good polish however i was a bit unclear on the goal and whether i should go into the black rectangle or not. But good job
Right now the game is just about blowing out torches and killing slimes, it definitely needs some work and I will try to find some time to make it better :)
Thanks for playing!
