You wake up in a strange dark place that's terribly low on power and full of demons!
How to play:
Repair the generator when it runs out [E when you're inside it]
Defend yourself against demons when its dark, with your flashlight [F, aim with mouse] and jump over their fireballs, be quick!!
if you don't repair the generator you will lose sanity, losing too much sanity will cause you to lose a life.
When the generator is on, the overall progress will fill up, once thats full a key will spawn and you can use that to unlock the door to the next level!
HEADS UP:
When repairing the generator, you can walk away at any time if needed, but you will have to go back and press e again to continue the repair, yes, it does save what it was on.
there are 5 levels in total, 6 counting the boss battle.
Can you beat the boss??
Also can you find the secret? ;)

Good job on your first LD though :D
I like the concept a lot. Brings a certain rythm to it all. I couldn't really find any bug, and controls worked alright.
Here are a few suggestions :
- Tune down the demon spawn rate a bit but increase their health, that way the game isn't easier, and you have more time to go pick the items up if your generator is not going to get back on anytime soon.
- Make the light from the flashlight clearer. Sometimes I wondered how I was damaging an enemy.
- Randomly generated levels ?
Overall, a good entry :) The idea behind the game is quite original, too !
Feel free to check our game out : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/berzerk-hunt
So maybe instead of only pressing E you put some iten/batery (that drops from the ghost or random spawning in the scene) that you need to pick up and finally use your E to repair the generator, that makes mor challenging.
Overwall the art work is great, but the ghost power is really big and at the first time you didn't see the ghost because of the lines of old TV, so you only notice the ghost when he shoots the big red haduken.
Make the rooms more big and try to decrease the arc of the jump, he is staying too much time in the air. :)
At some lvl you cleary see that the ghost dind't goes through the wall, so makes easier to repair the generator (and the bad point is that your ghost didn't pass, but you light pass the wall and hit the ghots).
But It is a well done game for your first LD, congrats and keep updating! :D
It was very hard at the beginning, I retried level 1 a lot of times, but then it was easy to go through every other levels. Some levels were harder than the next one
I think it is balanced and hard enough.
:metal: **Overall:4 **

Nice and simple. As I said in the stream, the rockets were a bit too unforgiving :)
