Nice game! Great work on polishing, everything is so intuitive.

Thank you!! Your game was really cool

Pretty good game. I like how you added a horror element to the game. Would like to see how you can improve this game.

Developer

Hey thank you! I am going to make a better version of this.

Awesome work on the tone and sound effects. It is a really nice arc going from puzzle platformer into horror. Nice work.

Developer

Thank you! Super kind of you to say. I really liked your game too

A small horror game! :D I liked it, loved the mood change as soon as you were out of light. I managed to get through the game without dying once, but it felt pretty intense. Congrats on finishing the jam!

Developer

Thanks so much! You and your teams game was my favorite from the Jam, so it means a lot.

Hii! I enjoyed your game, I was able to beat it! I like the transition scene when you fall in the cave, I thought that was easily the best part and pretty unexpected. I didn't like that you had to use the mouse to click. I wonder if you could have a different key to activate the teslacoil and generator things. I liked the death animation as well! Well done!

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed my game, I appreciate the feedback, will add options for that in my next game.

I really enjoyed this! The mechanics are nice, and it could easily be expanded upon if you wanted to continue development. There's some flickering when you change from one view to another, and i think transitioning smoothly or just following the player would have had a better effect, but otherwise really great job!

Developer

Thanks a ton for the kind words! I will make a game with this mechanic some time, or implement the mechanic into another project.

I noticed the flickering and should have just went with the smooth camera angle,  but wanted a one room puzzle mechanic. Unfortunately I ran out of time for interesting puzzles. Thanks for the feedback, I really liked your teams game as well.

Interesting mechanics, nice art, very cool death screen., it's a pity there is no music and that the sounds are not yours but a solid game overall.

Developer

Thank you! I wish I had some sounds recorded before the jam, but in the timespan I just didn't have time to make any new ones.

Wow, this is an awesome game! It's absolutely beautiful, very atmospheric and the gameplay is great. I have just one complaint, the jump is kind of weird when you want to jump higher, maybe that's intentional, but otherwise it's great :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! The jump system was intentional but initially the game had controller support, and it felt much better with that way.  Unfortunately I guess webGL doesn't support controllers out the box.

Oh, well never mind, the game is really good anyways :)

I really like the atmosphere of the game, especially in the later sections, were you don't have light and kind of need to guess where to go, and what the generators will do.

Developer

Thanks! I thought I might get some hate for the pitch black darkness, but I'm glad you liked it!

Really cool concept and a nice escalation of tensions in the latter half.

Thank you! I wish I had more time to add interesting puzzles.

Neat little game, with some interesting puzzles.

Developer

Thanks!
