I really like the game style! Although if you are going for a horror feeling I would probably suggest adding more contrast to the picture by making the ground darker and adding highlights to the characters.

The gameplay idea is interesting, although I think the light shrinks a little to slow, so itā€™s not about hiding your light near enemies, but instead carefully moving to not get them in your light radius. Making it move faster, or adding ability to both grow the light for visibility and shrink it to hide would improve the fame feel. On that note I would suggest checking out how the light works in Outer Wilds DLC, I think itā€™s done incredible there and may give you some ideas for improvement.

Overall, it is a pretty enjoyable game, and you rarely see horror games in game jams. Good job!

hey there! I went to check the game you recommended; do you mean that you would rather be able to see the rest of the map and have the light expand and shrink to do some stuff, eg. activating some traps or collects stuff?

Iā€™m talking more about the game feel, i.e. how fast you can switch between ā€œstatesā€ of light there. In your game it doesnā€™t really feel like Iā€™m hiding the light when I let go of a button because it shrinks too slowly. So Iā€™m better of just being careful with movement.

But also that the states serve quite different functions: normal states letā€™s you see in some radius around you, you can focus (enlarge) the light into a cone to see further but also interact with puzzle objects, and you can hide (shrink) the light so that enemies donā€™t see you but you also donā€™t see much.
