W, A, S and D keys: run around
Right mouse button: turn your torch off or on
Move mouse: aim your torch
Hold left mouse: slowly pull back your arm
Release left mouse: throw coin (power based on how far you pulled back your arm)
If your torch turns off on its own, the battery ran out. Right click to load a new battery & turn it back on.
Move over the coins left on the ground after throwing them to pick them up again.

The Unity Webplayer version seems to work best, but it doesn't work in Chrome. We've provided some alternatives to try if you're having difficulty.
============
UPDATE (v1.1):
- fixed a bug where right-clicking while changing battery would prevent the torch working for the rest of the game.
- fixed a bug where the WebGL player would crash after the intro scene.

The world is a bit too large for LudumDare though. Especially if the player does not know exactly what to look for. I might just have walked past the tube entrance.
But thats a minor thing. Overall, this is a really good entry!
It is also well polished.
Nice work! :D
Overall I'd say this is a good jam entry. The maze was very easy, and although the map was large (which is great) I could find no compelling reason to explore anything. Especially considering that the tube icon turns out to be illuminated through the darkness, so once you glimpse it, the challenge and need for the flashlight is pretty much gone.
But overall like it!
