Flee to Light by ryangatts
Flee from skittering shadow creatures. The only defense you have is light. Protect your torch and it will protect you. Accidentally throw it in the water, and you're doomed.
Light up bits of wood in the environment to clear a path or to make a temporary bonfire to drive back the creatures. Light up lanterns to (semi)permanently protect an area. Don't get too comfortable, because the longer you stay in one place, the easier it is for the creatures to find you. Find and light all ten (six are near the end) lanterns to open the exit.
No sound effects or music this time :/

Hey since this is part of the 48 hour compo you're going to need to upload your source files too. Otherwise you won't be applicable for a win!
I wish I could tell better when I was close to dying though.
The obvious problems were mentioned before, don't have something to add here. Cool idea, love the creature design, but unfortunately a capsule as the hero... I know, I know, time constraints. I'm only saying I'd have loved to see the main character modeled & animated as good as the creatures. And of course implementing sounds. The environment would be so much creepier with some dungeon SFX! Again, not criticizing, just mentioning ;)
That might sound weird, but I find the tutorial very well done, too. Impressive what information some little sketches can transport .
AI is simple but works quite surprisingly good. Never thought it would be that hard to keep those little %&/& away from me.
Ok lots of bla, never mind - Nice work all in all!
