Really cool concept! It was a little unclear how death and the moving platforms work, but overall really fun

Love this setting and mood. Interesting gameplay and levels.
In my opinion, it is worth improving the timings of death and recharge. They feel bad and there is not enough feedback for player.

At first I was wondering why my character was not moving and started screaming, despite standing on a perfectly fine platform. It turns out that - even thought he moved - he can't jump between platforms. As others already mentioned, it might be good to improve the timing of death animation. Given more time and polish, this might become a really interesting game.

Music and SFX are really cool!

Like the art and sound effects. Good idea to make it light based for the 10 second timer. Fun little game. Nice job!

It was hard to understand at first when the character dies, but once i got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. I like the concept, well done!

Interesting game. I found out on level 3 you can walk to the left from start and go out of bounds.

The combination of 10 seconds and light is very good, but some UI of the web version cannot be displayed

good level design, but needed to be polished a little bit (wasn't obvious where to go on some levels), but the idea overall is good, well done

ABSOLUTELY SCARY SCREAM, DON'T DO THIS, MATE, PLEASE.
So, we found a few bugs, u can easy go through the walls using the light spot and fix the flashlight after u died.
Overall, great game, we like it!

Interesting game. Fixing some bugs it will be very good!

I don't understand the mechanics of the magnifying glass. I click or press "E" and nothing happens.

Congratulations!

Solid idea! I just wish it'd use something i can press with my right hand rather than q and e to re illuminate the room.

1. *jumps over gap*
2. *realizes he didn't touch the ground all the time*
3. *falls*

the mechanic is great, though. Could not find out how to win the 4th (?) level, but maybe that was the end. Keep it up!
