Cool concept! I found myself going backwards after completing areas too see where I went! Well done :D
I love the concept! I think it has a lot of potential to be turned in to a full game! I wish I had a Super Sensor 9000 in real life lol. I often walk into walls in the dark.
Cool concept and great visual style. A range upgrade for the Super Sensor 9000 would be neat, it's quite tough. Managed to complete it anyways :)
This was fun! A bit difficult, but in a way that felt mostly fair since you could see what went wrong in the brief moment before respawning. I love the jumping animation :).
Love the idea, maybe the sensor should tell the range as well? a beeping sound that gets faster?
I found the game a bit difficult even with the light, so some playtesting is required for sure.
Also the touch of the music damping when the lights are down was supercool!
Interesting concept! Feedback: Sometimes I would jump over spikes and just randomly land on more leading to my death which felt unfair so maybe designing against this would make improve the experience.
Would love if you could rate my game!

The game looked great, it was really hard, I do wish I could have also used WASD to control the game. Really creative and a lot of fun
Really interesting game, it get really hard when the light goes out, hard but interesting, but I would like more range when detecting spike because I died 3 time on the same spikes and without seeing it before I start moving by a little. Congrats.
I really like the idea of having to rely on a sensor because of sensory deprivation. And I appreciate the music muffling when the lights go out. It's a nice touch.
My only issue is that in some situations the sensor kicks in a little too late to react.
Love the minimalist graphics !
Cool concept! It's fun and I really like the animation of the stick figure but it's also really hard imo. Don't know if it's only on my end but the audio is cracking a bit.
