Cool game! The mechanics are really fun, though it took me a little while to work out that you roll in the direction of the cursor.
Pretty hard as well, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. :D

Great game :) Shame that we chose the same name for a game (light shifter) but aside from that I enjoyed it :)

Nice game and quite unique with not being able to actually fight the enemies. Also it is really hard, so I got frustrated so quickly :D. Great job!

Nice game, the difficulty spikes very quickly and sadly I couldn't make it through the entire game but superb! One of the best.

Gorgeous, music, graphics and gameplay. 5 stars, but a bit difficult... :/ And no fit with the theme, I think so...

Pretty neat idea using light shifting. The guardians were a little startling!

Nice stealth-based mechanic using light instead of darkness. Pretty tough game, but I liked how the individual skills were introduced one-by-one and built on over the course of the game. Great graphics and sound effects, overall seemed really polished. Great game!

Great! Loved the atmosphere of this one. The difficulty was only frustrating enough to keep me trying. Well done.

beautiful entry. I found it very difficult to roll a second time though. controls never seemed to want to cooperate to allow me to do that

This game was wonderful
A modern take on the "just avoid hazard" type games (pac mac man, pit fall, etc..)

God the art style is my favorite too.

if the theme was light and dark it woulda fit alot better though, it really is reaching with the title

Fantastic game overall, loved the style and gameplay. Didn't quite make the connection to the theme, but I admit that I was unable to finish the entire game.

Can't play it unfortunately. I get the error message "he browser could not allocate enough memory for the WebGL content."

I'm in Win7/Firefox. The game looks really wicked, I was looking forward to it.

Great entry. I like theme interpretation. Last level was really hard :). Died a few dozens of time near this barrels. Nice game :)

A great LD entry. The visuals and the music are really cool, the sound effect of the arrows are amazing. The theme is nowhere, sadly.
I'm unable to complete the game, but I don't mind it, I had a lot of fun.

Liked the stealth mechanics, although a few levels felt arbitrary and too much of a trial and error - most glaringly the one where the skeleton needs to clear your path.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Rad entry, very nice idea, really complete and many ways (graphics, gameplay, song, execution).
Loved the way the skells identifies you because of the light (also the mechanic aplication of the light is really smart)!
I would like to congratulate you guys for that, you're on my top 10 games in this jam EASILY!

Really great over all, Great art, music is amazing, gameplay is fun, difficult but not frustrating(maybe a little bit) and gradually introduces new mechanics to the game making it easier to learn to play and master the game.

The best game I played to this point :)

1 - not being able to see where I am behind a pillar is a really pain
2 - the dash is really cool but feels kind of loose, it's hard to predict where the dash will end

Maybe less punishing levels on the beginning?

Overally, awesome game!

Super addictive gameplay! I have nothing to critisise about this game so here are all the good points:

- Great level design
- The way you introduce new mechanics and ramp up difficulty is on point
- Great athmosphere
- The levels are short and sweet tactic puzzles that are short, so restarting does not feel frustrating but winning feels rewarding.

Too lazy to finish the list so I will just say that I love everything about this game.

I tried the game again and now it works for me. Really neat entry, but the difficulty is brutal. Sometimes the character wouldn't roll, which was a bit frustrating.

You nailed the atmosphere though, great job!

Very nice game! Good game feel and nice atmosphere and visuals. Given that it's a really hard game, I'd reduce the time between you're death and can play again! Good work!
