  • really cool concept but everything you do definitely feels like a shot in the dark, pun intended. i cannot figure out the first level :( the game should explain more what to do as i thought it was gonna be tile based rather than 8 direction, as well as needs a little more guidance. not having a ton of fun stumbling through the darkness tbh.

    all that said, this is still a really original, interesting concept and I'd love to see what you do with it.

    • First - The Difficulty Problem

      Yes, I admit it is really hard. I had a play tester try it and they said the same thing. I intended to make 10 levels, but tried to squeeze everything into 3. It got a lot harder than normal levels should.

      Second - 8 Direction

      I will try this.

      Third - " stumbling through the darkness"

      I am in the process of adding different 'light' sources, so later it won't be completely dark. The laser pointer allows you to see depth, also giving a small amount of light around it if you look close. The camera gives off a flash when you use it (third level I think) and gives you a permanent picture in your inventory to look at later.

      Lastly

      Thank you for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated.

      • Yes! I'm really glad you took my comment positively. Always great to see another developer who loves learning. I'll follow you for sure!
