Deadly Darkness

This game is about the contrast between light and dark - good and evil.

You are a daemon living in the shadows, trying to pull the "others" into the shadows with you. Block the lights and try to make everything as dark as possible, but KEEP OUT OF THE LIGHT! It hurts.

The game is played with cursor keys, nothing more.

This game was made in under 72 hours by:

Arend Hintze
Jory Schossau
Leigh Sheneman
Charles Ofria
Clifford Bohm

we used sound assets but mixed and composed the theme as well as audio effects ourselves.

Enjoy the game!

Cheers Arend

Awesome Concept! Ran into some "teleportation" bugs, but despite that a lot of fun. Nice work!

Good concept, LD is pretty fun, adding polished graphics could make something cool :)

Nice idea with the light and a darkness as a weapon. Cool game.

Really like the concept, but I felt like I could "cheat" by going into the light briefly. It might have been more interesting if the light killed you, but there were some times where I was in a shadow but getting hurt.

Nice Idea! Love the Way the pushable Blocks cast shadows you can Move in! I had an nullreference Exception thrown at my face in level 2, but thats rather secondary. Graphics are minimalistic but good. And is the sound of the "others" in the shadows a recorded frying pan? Yet Overall a pretty smart and likeable game.

An extremely clever use of 2D lighting. Very interesting puzzles.

Very well done. Sometimes I take damage without being anywhere near light, but all in all this game works well and is both fun and (as far as I know) innovative.

Very cool. QIX meets Tetris in a way. Ominous music, frantic dashing across light paths. thrill of victory at burning the happinesses... great job. With some updated graphics and clever object placement in logical order of difficulty across levels I could see this being a great time waster.
