The main concept is fresh and creative, it needs some poliment, but it have a lot of potential for an horror top down game.

Interesting gameplay. I liked trying to use the light as much as possible while also trying to move on the most direct path. Could be a great game if you wanted to expand on it more after the jam.

I appreciate you giving it a look! I also think there's something to this if I expanded on it. Thanks for your time and words!

Didn't understand what to do but after just moving around for while it clicked. Very simple concept but it was executed well, you should explore this concept further, maybe polish it up and add more levels with obstacles etc.

The UI needs a fix, it's too low quality and seems like it was slapped together. Like I said though, you should explore this idea further, polish the game and UI, add more content/levels and you could have a gem on your hands.

At first i was like "how do i play this?", "what are those white square?".
But 10sec in and everything become clear, and each part of the gameplay make sence.

Those white slowdown thing shrinking really add to the feeling of "I need to escape quickly".
Really simple concept but yet really unique, i liked that you were inspired by the spot from spiderman.

Well done!
