Did you work in a team?
This game was made by two people -- Ross and Aeris. We both worked on the programming, art, and sounds for the game. I (Aeris) had loads of fun! Learned lots about game design, sound design, level design, animation, etc.

What did you learn?
This my (Aeris's) most polished game yet so most things were new to me.

Light out is a really nice (and also a little hard) game. Well done! I really enjoyed the pure force the laser weapon has. 

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you! I'm happy to hear that about the laser. I'll need to tweak the difficulty a bit. I was thinking of preventing monsters from spawning in the first few rooms, so the players can acclimate themselves with the lights. If this weren't a game jam game, I'd also add a small tutorial level as well. If you have any other ideas for fixing the difficulty, I'd love to hear them.

Nice graphics, really fluid animations and gameplay.

Clever concept - combining shooter with puzzles.

Great job!

Developer

Thanks! :D

Ok I'm so impressed by this. Lights out with a twist. Very cool. Shadowcasting is such a neat feature and I feel like it's rarely used in the 2D world. Kudos!

Developer

Thank you so much!

I really impressed by overall look and feel. Really like how light works with sprites, this is a really interesting. I would like to know how it is implemented.

(Would I be wrong if I say that this is the SLSO8 palette? :D Good choice.) 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Good eye! Yeah, we're usng SLSO8. :-) And thank you! I can ask Ross to write down his approach on the lighting.

Really cool game: super nice graphics, I love the bounce and flow in the animations, great use of limited palette, reads really well. Good fun gameplay too, not too hard which I like!

Developer

Thanks! :D

just... WHOA! loved it, it is a very polished game! the palette is beautifull and the small light was so good i ended in pretty stressed situations trying to get a bigger raious of sign, i think it could be improved the feedback of beeing hit, like a dramatical camera shake or somethig, but overall it was very funny to play, Grats!!

Developer

Thank you so much!!

This is so S T Y L I S H! I'm in love with the limited color palette and the lighting effects!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! Your game looks really sharp as well!

This is great, especially for a game jam! Loved the look and feel of the game.  Felt good to control and the color palette totally fit the art style and gameplay. 

Developer

That means a lot! Thank you so much!

Very good execution! I especially loved the way lights merge! The graphics were very nice and music was on point. I did get some issues with sound with some constant clicks going on. Probably something to do with my browser (chrome on Windows). Oh... did I mention that the shooting was extremely satisfying. The animation of the laser shot was very good and having the enemies break into small pieces was a good touch! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Wow! Thank you for noticing all those details. And yeah, I've also noticed some bugginess with how the music plays in Chrome. I'll have to fix that. And the lighting was all Ross's magic! :D

This game looks amazing. I love the lighting the game has, and the pallete is pretty nice. The audio in this game really works; the muffled music and sfx sound really cool together. The minimap was really helpful. I did find it somewhat frustrating trying not to get hit by enemies, since I can't see them until (probably) too late. Otherwise, love it.

EDIT: grammer

Wow thank you! And random comment, I loved your game from LowRezJam last year! I'll have to check out your new game this year :D

Thanks! Glad someone remembered that game, I'm proud of what the two of us did.

Such an aesthetically pleasing game, I loved the graphics!

Developer

Thank you! :D

This game is loaded with juice! The lighting effects are great and moody, screen shake and particle effects just add to an already visually impressive game. Kudos! Oh the music is fantastic too!

Developer

Thank you! :D

Only 1 little thing. I know the game name is lights out xD haha but I wish I knew what my objective is before start the game. Other than that 5/5 :DD

Developer

Thank you! And thanks for the feedback. I'll add the text to the main menu to clarify that!

Absolutely gorgeous game. I liked how you transformed a classic puzzle game that you see as a minigame in all sorts of RPGs and the like into a game of its own. Really cool concept.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! Makes me really happy to hear you liked it! :D
