Well polished art and fitting theme. Gameplaywise throwing kinda pointless as ghost just come to you :v overall good job

Submitted

Really fun game, I love the music and visuals, I just feel like it's too easy to just hold the light and wait for ghosts to come to you for the highest score, maybe having the battery lose power as it holds the light or something similar to that.

Submitted

Was nice, only issue in my opinion is that it was super easy to cheese. It would also be nice to have a way to gain more time.

Submitted

art is really nice! i think you forgot to normalize your direction vector because I could move diagonally and move a little faster so I didn't have to drop the light and could just dodge ghosts

Developer

Actually, I do normalize the vector, but after normalizing it, I multiply it by a small value. So yes, you are a bit faster when moving diagonally, I just think the game feels better that way. And yeah, you don't have to drop the lightbulb, probably one of my biggest design flaws :P

Submitted

Nice pixel graphics - I may did not got, why I should though the bulb ... but I also lost a lot of points in any cases xD

Developer

You run faster when you don't hold the bulb! :)

Great vibe! I really liked the soundtrack!

Feels like playing Poe in Vampire Survivors again :) It would be cool if there was a ramp up in difficulty but time limit is okay too. I got 750 points.

Gameplay video

Developer

Thank you! I don't know who Poe is (I've never played Vampire Survivors), but still, thank you. Oh, and nice of you to provide a gameplay video :)

500 score! very cool game, music slaps hard. maybe the player could slide a bit after stopping, but aside from that, I like how responsive everything feels.

Developer

Oh, good suggestion! I might add that in the future :) Thanks for feedback!

Submitted

Very addictive, reminds me of pac man in a way. Great Job :)

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

The art and concept are awesome. Nice music and sound too. I felt like I didn't have much to do as a player; I would want some more actions I can do with the light bulb.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, but what kind of actions do you mean?

Submitted(+1)

I like the art and the game concept. 

The game is very responsive and can be very challenging when everything moves pretty fast. There are way too many ghosts while there seems to be only one light bulb. Another suggestion is to make the light bulb stand out a bit more when it is out of light. It is quite hard to see at the moment.

Developer

Yeah, I agree that there might be too many ghosts and that the lightbulb can be hard too see. Thanks for the feedback!
