Exactly what Mr.Kitkat said: really good idea for a game. It has a lot of potential, and I'm gonna lay down some ideas for you. Feel free to incorporate them into any future update for the game:

- Have smaller, temporary torches placed around levels, and have your OneLight light them up with the click of a button

- Ghosts which react faster once they're out of OneLight's range

- Have different types of light to repel different types of enemies

- If you're adding more enemies, it would only be fair to incorporate some kind of health bar into the game (like three hits and you're dead?)

- Maybe a jump mechanic to overcome small pits? Adding to the spike hazard


Overall, great job! I'll follow you to be aware of any updates you make on the game. Keep at it! :)

Wow thank you for the feedback and suggestions!! It mean a lot to me, the jam build certainly didn't explore the potential enough, I will add more stuff and take you suggetions, glad you liked it <3

I liked it. This is an interesting concept that might worth explore more.

Some things to consider

  • what if you would only see ghosts if they are kind of close to you when outside of the light. this would make them more scary
  • what if we could use the light to explore bigger part of the map without moving the character. like when the light is on the right edge of the screen you would scroll the visible area to the right.  this means that the character might go outside of the visible area which is risky but can give you more info on the level structure

Great suggetions and thanks for the feedback, I will try both of the suggetions and see how it plays out, really like the risk vs reward system, glad you liked it <3

Wow, this game is actually really good! Such a good idea for a game, and really good execution too, especially when you consider this was made under a game jam. Only thing missing is a little music, but you can't have everything i guess. Continue working on this and release it as a full game, it definitely has potential. I know i would get it at least :)
