Use of the limitation
In my game, enemies were some of house interior objects. So "everything" was alive.

The enemies not moving when you shine the light on them is a cool concept, but dying being the only way to progress is a bit counter intuitive with how the game is presented. At the very least, it should become impossible to survive once the yellow bar reaches the end. The lamps also should lock in their position as soon as the warning appears. There were some times I went to dodge the lamp but it would spawn closer to me than the warning was.
Very nice gameplay, I enjoyed it. The story is engaging to me. GG
Very nice use of the limitation!
The bed looks like a car in the preview XD
Really? I haven't noticed :D
I was wondering what happens when the yellow bar empties... it just grows to the other way.
I feel like I was pranked XD
It looks like you should survive till the sunrise, right :D? But the twist is you have to die to finish the game.
Very cute game! The art feels inconsistent, comparing the moving sprites with props. The ending was very unexpected, but wholesome somehow. The features are very good, the flashlight makes the monsters stop, the TV shoots, and lamps fall.
Very creative, great work, and congrats!
Yess you are right. My art is not good and I'm trying to get better. Thanks for the feedback!
Wow, very simple but very great game ! Gotta admit thats a 5/5 use of the limitation here. Great work, even if the graphics are a bit strange, the game is well polished (was surprised to get a clean ending when I died). Great work, keep going !
Thank you so much for feedback! Yeah I have some problems with graphics in my games, but I'm trying to do better. Thanks again
Game is fun, but art looks weird like combination of 3 assets. and i think it's impossible to survive until the end

Actually, that was the point :D You can't survive and wake up from that "nightmare". I wanted to keep the game longer, so you can survive until the sunrise. But I think the longer it takes, more boring it becomes.
I had fun! but I really need volume settings xD
Yea I can add that. I didn't have much time so I couldn't add settings, but I will.
W Game Enjoyed every bit of it :'D
I'm glad :D
