Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Crashes multiple browsers, does not launch. Judging based on GDD as a result. Theme seems tenuous and might have been described better as the opposite of the designer's wording. The light from the torch is seemingly whats spreading, with the player apparently able to increase the power of the torch. While this is an interesting and unique sounding game, ultimately let down by its lack of playability. No screenshots were included within the GDD so Artistic Style could not be judged.

I tried to play this but it killed my browser tab :(
Coool got it working once I switched to my windows machine. The lighting plus enemies was freaky, I rated it. Nice animations in the cut scenes as well. Would have loved some more movement controls like a roll or dash to avoid the enemies. I also tried to climb the wall at the start? Great job overall!
