The tentacle visual+audio really makes it a scary game! Congrats to the team
Nice art-style. I like the left/right mouse-button controls.
It slowly gets darker, which is an interesting extra feature, is that on a timer or is that the middle fire going out? It must be the former, because on my first (shorter) game-over it was still lighter than the pitch black (except for the fire and torch) that it had become later.
That ties into my only real criticism: It’s hard to see how well or badly you’re doing both in general, and whether or not you’re burning the shadow-tentacles.
Thanks for the constructive critisism, always good to hear some :)
Actually, it's the second one. The light's intensity symbolizes its health. 100% health = 100% intensity, and 0 = 0, with a non-linear curve in between. The game ends when it gets completely dark (except for the torch and the fire sprite you mentioned). We consciously decided against having a dedicated health bar or counter in order to keep it more vague. But maybe we overdid that a bit.
Concerning feedback for burning tentacles: I 100% agree. We wanted to include a kind of burning shader, but time ran out. :)
Great job!
Love the idea.
