Nimble in the Dark by Tkap

[raw]

made by Tkap for LD 42 (JAM)

You are running out of light! Collect stars to bring it back up. Should it go out completely, you'll die.

Avoid incoming projectiles by moving your mouse.

Survive 60 seconds to win, but feel free to keep going and see how long you can last.

Choose one out of 5 difficulties.

Can you beat the last 2 difficulties?!

No.

This was my first LD, went for something simple. Took around 5 or 6 hours to make using Godot.

Simple and fun :)

It is however a bit difficult to differentiate the stars from the projectiles, and it's not that fair that you can't really see projectiles coming from outside the play area.

It's a pretty fun game but the stars near the edges can have projectiles enter and be unnoticeable and hit you when you grab the star

Good job !

The only thing I would change is the cursor

The concept is simple but the game is fun (even though I am really bad even struggle with the easiest level).

Nice! Some the projectiles are a little too dark to see, but very good! Nice and smooth gameplay!

Cool game, very addicting, you keep restarting to beat your highscore. Great job! Would download on mobile for sure.

Yeah, it's frustrating how the game will eagerly suckerpunch you by putting stars near the edge of the arena and then taking you out with a projectile you can't dodge. Maybe limit the stars to spawning within a certain region further from the edges? Also, the game really could have used some music, I think.
