I like the concept and how you've made use of shadows! Makes the game look really good. Need some more musical components I feel but other than that It was a fun experience overall! Keep at it :)
Would be great if you could check my game also <3
I like the light feature you implemented and how you used godot's shadows. It adds a lot to the game! Wish there was some kind of mysterious/dark/eerie music in the background though. Moving was also a little hard to get used to since i could only move in 4 directions, not 8 like i was expecting. Some kind of counter showing you how many orbs you've collected out of however many there are would also be nice. I had no clue how close i was to finishing the game. I think i found 2 or 3 and then i died :p Overall pretty good!
I wanted to include some good music too but turns out creating good music isn't my strongest suit. XD
However, I'm planning on rebuilding the game later and I'm definitely planning on including all the elements you noted.
Could always use royalty free music!
Yes. Last time I couldn't find something that exactly fits my mood because I had very less time. So I just made some quick samples in bfxr. Music was done in like an hour or so because that was all the time I had.
I loved the anxiety of the shrinking light around you, trying harder and harder to see if you run too close to death. It was hard sometimes moving in different directions I think due to you not being able to use 2 directional inputs at the same time. But I love the concept. Great work!
Thanks for playing! There's surely a lot of things that I'll change but I plan on rebuilding this game with finer aesthetics and gameplay.
Hi, I loved the idea of leaving the orb trail a la Hansel & Gretel! I did not read the game page, so I did not know what to do. Maybe a tutorial would be nice. Also, it would be cool to be able to use fullscreen, I tried ALT+ENTER and F11 but couldn't. Really nice!
Thanks for the feedback!
And sorry about the fullScreen issue. I'll surely look into it.
I like the lighting and the idea that your vision diminishes as you go further. I haven't found the gold orb yet, but I like that you sometimes have to take risks to find another point to restore the light.
A few tips:
You can't walk diagonally right now, you could think about implementing that.
When you walk in a really long, straight corridor, you can't really tell that you are still going forward, so maybe you could avoid long corridors, or give the ground or walls a little more texture. Although not too much, because I do like the clean look.
OMG I found the gold orb! I almost died, but then it was there, right in front of me!
Thanks a lot for playing. I agree with all your suggestions and I'll surely improve this game later. I just loved the concept and knew I had to build something quick. I was planning on adding a walk sound but couldn't because of a bug and low time.
And congratulations on finding the Orb. I'll tell you a secret. I was initially planning on adding a boss fight, where you must collect the power from the Orb first. See the blank room above the room you start in? It was were I was gonna place it. But again, couldn't because of time constraints.
Thanks again!
I can't play as use a mac :(
I'm sorry, I only created a downloadable for Windows as the jam only required that.
I don't use a Mac so there was no way I could've tested the build, so I just found it best to skip it due to time constraints.
